Is it normal that warehouse or retail work is not considered a real job?

I work for a well known retail company in their grocery department and I sometimes work in one of their their warehouse locations. I make 20.98 an hour, I've been with the company for a few years, and know how to do multiple departments. I kinda always knew retail workers were considered deadbeats, but why the dang warehouse shifts? I get paid two dollars more an hour when they have openings and the retail job alone adds up to more than what the average person who looked down on me makes. Am I a deadbeat? It's true that I rarely have any leftover money to myself after my cell phone, food, insurance, credit card, my half of the mortgage and other bills are paid, but I thought I was doing good for someone who lived in NY. Is it normal?

    People love to judge, the other day someone was on here because people told them their online job wasn’t “a real job”. I’ve also been told my librarian job isn’t “a real job” to which I replied, “Why do I receive a real pay cheque then?” I recommend you borrow this response.

      If they pay you it's a job.

      As long as you arent rolling up in a Mercedes complaining how you cant feed your kids it's all good.

        I roll up on public transport complaining how I can’t feed the carrion crows in the garden because they flap away from me.

    Move to TN. For 21 an hour you could have a nice house and extra spending money. Especially if you had a girlfriend that made atleast 12 an hour.

    I don't look down on people for that sort of work, because it's hard work. I used to stock the graveyard shift at Target in the early 2000s, it wasn't easy, but I feel like I was in better shape in those days, because of the strenuous work. To be honest, it wasn't always my cup of tea, but it's not something I look down on either.
