There is nothing degrading about doing honest work.
And that is one thing that can be learned from the north americans.
Indians have some of the biggest hangups about doing cleaning jobs - this guy
is out to lunch when he says that Indians are willing to do such jobs.

As far as I am concerned I rather have dinner with a janitor than with a
top-notch executive of some multi-national industry, who makes shady deals, 
ignores pollution laws and makes this planet a mess, has a branch plant
in south africa where he slaves the natives (he would do that in US if he could
get away with it), supports army take-overs in south america in the name of
business, etc.
I am not saying that all business executives do this, but am just using this
as an example to show that a man's job and clothes tell you very little about
him. An honest janitor is a much better person than a dishonest PhD.
At least he is not doing "research" to create bombs (couldn't resist adding
this last line in -- hold the flames because they will go to /dev/null).
