I guess you've never worked those jobs. Try it for 6 months or a year and then tell us if you still feel that way.

It's dehumanizing, and petty to try and squeeze people out this way.

Wrong guess, I've done my time on minimum wage work.

I wasnt going to make a career out of a job that gave me a free shirt for working extra hard.

But then again, I'm an engineer, so maybe I make better decisions.

The condescending tone is likely why you’re being downvoted.

Seems unlikely. Engineers are as prone to bad decision making as anyone else. Some of them - the supercilious dickheads who believe their own hype - even more so.
