E719. Entering a factory, working as a technician, and serving dishes
This episode of the podcast "Cool Fool" features four individuals who have taken on blue-collar jobs despite their academic backgrounds. One of the individuals, named Jiang Shuzhen, graduated from university but has worked as a ride-hail driver, food delivery courier, and factory worker due to difficulty finding a job in their field. They experienced discrimination from their superiors in previous jobs based on their cheap clothing and lack of social status. Jiang eventually became a full-time ride-hail driver but faced challenges like messy passengers and low service ratings. They then took on a job in a pharmaceutical factory, where they were exposed to hazardous working conditions and initially struggled with the physical demands of the job. Despite difficulties with receiving their salary, they persevered in the position until the factory shut down.
