I guess you are also the type that looks down on the people that collect the garbage? That fix the plumbing in your house? Or that take care of the gardening and so on?
Just a sidebar here but garbage collectors make pretty good money due to the nature of their job. And clearly you haven't had to call a plumber out to your house lately cause it pretty much costs $150 for them just to walk in the door which doesn't even cover their hourly rate and cost of materials to fix whatever is wrong. And lastly, although the actual grass cutters themselves may not make big bucks, the guy who runs the landscaping company is likely doing pretty well financially too.
In conclusion, these are not good examples to use for folks who don't make a lot of money in these jobs because they're all pretty average in that regard. Sure they're blue collar workers but they are not low paying jobs by any means.
I dated a waiter and know what you are talking about.When he went on a date with me he bossed the waiter that was waiting on us. He told him he needed to check on us more and change his tone. I was embarrassed but yes it was a job to hold him over.Next job he was the Senior Math Teacher.I think bossy personality was at play to be honest.
Should I just stop at this point because I'm having these thoughts
Some servers make more money than what you might call an "adult position", and shouldn't be faulted for liking their jobs.
That said, if you feel he is working beneath you, then you feel HE is beneath you, so yes, do him a favor and bugger off. He doesn't need that kind of negativity in their life.
Sounds like you'll need to avoid that coffee shop and find a new place to hang out. It'll be a bit awkward if he asks you out this time around and then you'll be in a mess.
So what if this guy is actually happy with his job?
Being comfortable/content is not enough for you? It is not about the money?
You have high standards for your own? To me you sound like a stuck up b*tch!
You contradict yourself more than once in your post !
All I get from your post is that you want someone with a big wallet to pamper you.

Sigh, when I was single this probably would have been a deal breaker for me as well.
Those type of positions don't make a lot of money, and yes not everything is about money. But often times you hear of people in those types of positions struggling to make ends meet.
I don't want to struggle, yes I have a decent job, a career job, but in today's world it almost requires 2 incomes to raise a family.
Oh please, give me a break. I like educated guys, problem with that?
And just because I prefer to date a certain type of guy does not mean I look down on people of any kind, but feel free to think whatever you want of me, I really couldn't care less. LOL.
hahahahaha.......One of the most educated men I know is a steakhouse chef because he likes the work.
He has 3 PHd's, was raised in museums around the world because of his parents and their careers, has been on many "digs", is sought after by many Universities to be a professor and can't stand any of it.
Not a good idea to judge a uniform on it's own merit.
I'm going to guess that the women who won't date waiters simply because of the job don't exactly have a good history of finding quality men or having satisfactory relationship lives

Being a chef is a career. Being a waiter/waitress isn't to me. How many waiters/waitresses out there are really passionate about their jobs? Don't give me some bs about how you know several too. I know there could be some outliers, but waiting tables isn't exactly a life goal for most people. I said I like educated guys, I didn't say their job has to correlate with their education. The OP said the guy she was dating was content. To me, that's settling when you know you can do better and be better.
For whoever asked if it was ok for me if the waiter made a high salary. The answer is no, even if he made 6 figures, I can't see myself having a connection with someone who's life goal is waiting tables, simple as that.
