If they want to pay me to deliver stuff on a unicycle, I'll be delivering stuff on a unicycle. Do I want to ride a unicycle? Depends on the pay.

It is a mistake to see oneself as a mercenary in this way. We should all be the happier if objectionable jobs were harder to staff.

Sure, but it's difficult to classify which jobs are objectionable and what the price should be for someone to do them anyway.

As someone who rides a unicycle professionally: what type of unicycle? Is the company specifying a particular brand because I only ride Nimbus.

I'm afraid you're overqualified. It's an entry-level job.

Perhaps someone with higher standards like you would be a better fit for our penny-farthing department.
