Crazy discussion, guys.
On a positive note: hey, at least we're wanted for our *brains* and not
our *bodies*. You want demeaning? Imagine a job interview where you're
asked to stand up and turn around slowly...
The bottom line is that every position in which you are employed, paid
by someone else to do their bidding, involves a certain amount of
degradation. (And let's not kid ourselves about independence: for a
freelance consultant in our field, the "client" can end up far more
domineering than any employer.)
I think it's very right to defend your personal dignity and put limits
on what you're willing to accept for a job. At the same time, let's put
our situation in some perspective: We're damn lucky to have the skills
we have in this day an age; We're damn lucky to be able to pick and
choose OUR employers.
Sincerely,
