That's pretty vague.  You'll get better answers if you ask more specific questions.

What profession can't be construed into serving people in one way or another?



ranja -> RE: Profession vs Preference (5/3/2009 12:50:13 PM)

true

Ostensibly serving people, but if you want your PC to work properly, I'm in charge.

RealSub58 -> RE: Profession vs Preference (5/3/2009 12:55:32 PM)

I was wondering, have you taken a course in research ? What are your methods, variables, constants ~~~ you know, the stuff research is made of or are you "polling"for you own amusement.

Sorry about that.  My response was actually meant for the OP, not you directly.  But I guess I can see how some jobs would seem more subservient than others, such as housekeeping and waiting on tables.  But still, I think even in a foreman/supervisor's position, the supervisor is still serving the customer AND the employees "under" him.  For me, this is just another mini metaphor for a ds relationship.  No matter how you look at it, we're all the served and the servant.

We all submit to a boss and the details of contract at work, no matter the profession. You may earn more money as you climb the ladder, but it certainly doesn't mean that your autonomy increases in kind. I really don't see a correlation between profession and orientation. Anyone with an ounce of perception learns how to climb the ladder in an organisation: you don't get involved in gossip, you don't bad mouth anyone, when negotiating you understand that everyone has to feel that they've gained something from the situation, you work hard but understand the importance of not being earnest, you're courteous and professional at times. Anyone with an ounce of perception and willing can do that.

Edited to add: as you climb the ladder you still have stakeholders to satisfy, albeit different ones.

I find my release in relinquishing control.  It is a delightful way to balance out the time I need to be in charge.

Not submissive, not slave, not Dominant...masochist yes though.



Whiplashsmile4 -> RE: Profession vs Preference (5/3/2009 5:07:55 PM)

Both sides of the D/s coin serve and provide for one another. Leadership or being in charge is/can be considered a service.
