There is a very big difference between a dishwasher and having a mum who owns a cleaning mangement company. Choosing to understand the business nature and expansion is worth giving up degree for.
This
True, the shortcut route to not getting your hands dirty and starting from ground up is to get a degree or some form of formal education.
Agreed!
he actually can choose not to work with her mum tho
The power of framing and narrative. He literally had an option to pick and choose, and that alone shows he is not in a struggle. The very opposite.
"Being a servant doesn't mean you're the lowest. It's a joy to serve people." Really well said
Indeed! This sentence was taught to me before and I held dearly in my heart. Due to how fast-paced and how difficult a job could be, I have forgotten the lesson to serve people with a joyful heart. Thank you for the reminder ❤
But in society, how many people really embraces such thought? I agree with what he said. But it seems like the world wont think that way.
“There is no greater purpose than serving others” , said while pumping gas at the station. Quote from the movie Peaceful Warrior.
Very wise!
my body doesnt agree with that. im fucking creaking everytime i get home. can barely drive my car. too tired to enjoy my few free evening hours
His family may be the business owner, but I believe this boy's upbringing is sound & grounded. He is building empathy to be a good future leader.
I really like how you say "They are the invisible force that keeps your lives running" its really so true!
its like a puzzle , for it to be complete even the smallest piece must be present for it to be complete! Thank you for being so diligent in this line of work! Love it when the place is clean!!! ❤❤
This is how I feel about garbagemen. I have a great deal of respect for them. Without them, society simply wouldn't function.
the biggest moral of this story is NEVER to look down on anyone who is earning an honest living
Especially in this current world. A job is a job.
Exactly!
Spread this message 😢❤
Off course! If my mum owns a cleaning firm. But the title is very misleading
If this is what my relatives meant when they said ill end up a dishwasher, i should have thanked them for the compliment
Such a well mannered young man ……. Is a respected job no need to bother what people said !!!!! Your mum must b very proud of U. 加油喔!!!!!
When we serve, it doesn’t mean we are at the lowest. Serving in whatever form it takes, bring joy to the soul. Well done! Keep the faith !
I think the poor perception of dishwashers are not the same for every country. It is common to find young people working in the same jobs in Turkey and people do not share the same low perception of this job. A job is a job. Parents got to stop teaching their kids to judge different occupations based on the pay. It's a stereotype that needs to be unlearned.
Precisely. I saw young people working such jobs in japan too at airports etc. It's a honest job. some japanese people work as cleaners and they are proud of their job, unlike in sg, where people tend to look down on cleaners and jobs they deemed as low class.
@@Sephira08some people in Singapore look down on anyone earning less money than them
Sad but true@@wtfbbqz

An honest job is a respected job. Don’t give them crap
The dishwasher who speaks better than a politician and looks better than a lawyer😎😎👍👍💪
Since when is lawyer good looking?
@@jimw8615 Don’s heavily influenced by the entertainment industry 😆
@@Th3MostWond3rfulTim3OfTh3Y3aru trying to be a smart Alec. Don’t even know wat I mean.
Respect. Indeed everyone plays a part in the society to keep systems running.
Your down to earth character and mindset in running this business will bring u far for sure! ❤
I think the most respectable part is that he chose to focus on the family business, understand it from the ground up, and kept his head down when people made snide remarks instead of flexing his actual position on them. He could easily have said so to 'keep face' and perpetuate the stigma against such humble yet important jobs, but I think it wise that he did not do so. Kudos to that.
hahah it's good that he's starting from the bottom, but let's not go down the road of BS for the clickbait lah pls OGS - you are better than that - he is not 'helping his mom wash dishes' - he is helping take over his mother's business as the eventual boss of a cleaning company.
damn ogs, the editing of this video is pure mastery. thank you for showing us these stories, it's very much needed in a city like ours.
Incredible story, thank you OGS for featuring these heroes
I love washing dishes too . I must admit that it is therapeutic .
What good looking young, down to earth and a wonderful son. Most all an aunty killer 😄👍👍👏👏
You have found your calling, or a path towards it. It's not easy to do so. Most people just go about life not being faced or forced into the decision. You are lucky.
Getting a degree does not guarantee anything. Big respect to this young man for doing what he enjoys. What a good son he is to help out his mom.
what an intelligent and well-spoken man!!
I really salute ! As I also under this line to help out in my mum company as well! Let’s work hard together to make a cleanliness society😊
I have been working for Nordstrom habitant as their dishwasher for almost three years now and I enjoy it however it does get at times hard but you get respected by the others as long as you stay on task which I have been 😊
Thank you for making me realise that I am doing nothing wrong with my life . Your way of explaining the things just paved a new bright way for me. Lately I was always kind of depressed about my job and ya same thing they say when I meet my friends. But your positive attitude change my whole concept .
Thank you and i sincerely mean it ❤
Respect for ogs for covering such alternative stories that worth our thoughts and reflection about life
Super respect!!! 😭🫶🏼 love this video!
Such a good man. I wish him all the best❤
Much respect for the guy. In fact I have lots more respect for people who do all these menial jobs for society, probably more so than investment bankers who are just shifting money from A->B->C->A while making a big commission in the process.
its crazy after watching this i feel like humbled myself by alot. Huge respect to this guy.
Hey bro u dropped this 👑 , you were raised by a queen hence making u a gentleman. Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues
Shoutout to all dishwashers in the world, i worked in a hospitality industry and i must say the dishwashers folks are the backbone of it. Without them there’ll be no smooth operation
Wow so inspiring... go Cordell!
Clickbait. Parents own cleaning company, and he works for them. Sounds like a real struggle lol
Mad mad mad respect!! Truly inspiring!! Thank you for your service
If only i can work part time, i will choose this job. It's fun washing dishes
I highly recommend the book Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States by Dishwasher Pete.
I'm so proud of you bro 👏 👏👏🙌 ... Nothing to be shy, you earn your own money 💰...
Awesome point of view. Kudos for sharing
Love OGS video. Very meaningful
I would move to Singapore from Mexico to do this, and obviously study to get a degree
A responsible and good-looking chap. Its a potential business that many shy away.
RESPECT🤟🏻
I 100% agree with you
An honest days work . In Switzerland, Restaurant dishwashers are paid $5500 Swiss Francs.
It’s a societal issue on how we view them.
i had to dishwash at least once a week as a waiter. it was not fun, very tiring and monotonous. Idk how he can do this as a full time job, its admirable really.
i always help my mom to wash dishes. n i love to do it
I admire him he should be able to tell the truth
I am an undergraduate in a local uni and i work as a dishwasher. Honestly, dishwasher is an under appreciated job in fnb but many do not know that the pay is good i earn $800-$1000 a week from washing
What, how?
1:53 so cute 😂
It is better to serve than to be served 😊
I just developed a mini crush on this guy.
Respect...
Another amazing video by OGS again!!!!!
It's noble work. We would be f'd without dishwashers. Plus you get to wear headphones and everybody else leaves you alone.
Dish washer and sanitizer kind jobs aren’t the best paid but they are equally important as any other jobs in the society.
Good luck 👍
A former Accor CEO (hotel company) started off as a dishwasher in the kitchen. Humans need to think that CEOs were all once upon a time somewhere in a rank and file position before rising to where they are today. Sometimes one ought to think before they comment. ☺️☺️
Except this guy is inheriting the business
Anyone know if he has any socials? I’d love to follow him. He has such a great energy ❤
Where is the glove?
not about the money. it's about the prestige 😎
A friend of mine rejected a engineer job to opt for dishwasher when he realized that it can earn him 4K per month.
this is stoicism
Cleaning dishes add value to our society... unlike a PhD in 18 century Shakespearean literature or Lesbian dance theory
Respect
growing up in a single mom's family posed a lot of challenge especially when there is an absence of a good fatherly figure who can set good example and provide wisdom to guide the children.
I hope he can expand his horizon and mingle with better and wiser people that can show him a better choice of careers out there. I am not looking down on his current choice of profession but I feel that he could have done a lot better if he has better pool of acquaints and friends. the old saying goes; iron sharpens iron, mind sharpens mind.
The title is very misleading!
There is a huge difference between a porter and working for your mum’s cleaning company. It does not resonate with the lives of dishwashers.
During my uni life. I worked as a Kitchen porter and it’s not a good job at all!
Alamak, the title so misleading and bluffing. Who need a degree if can inherit a company and take over later become CEO? A degree graduate according to Rich Dad Poor Dad will always end up slavery employee earning peanuts compared to Entrepreneurs in getting rich. He will be employing those cheap cheap degree holders to work and earn $$$ for him instead. Lucky son.
How did he keep his hands good enough from all the washing?
I hope he will just say he is working for his family business and he is earning credits for himself
Don’t worry about what others say - they are just envious
Doesn't he know that he can go to uni AND still doing the dishwashing job too ( that's what I did during my uni days ).
And he's quite good looking too..he can work with his look also. Why limiting himself to just one job?
❤
dishwasher is paid very high in singapore... just look at his marshall headphones lmao
cant even feed urself if ure a dishwasher in malaysia
Fake his mom owns the company and he just works a day for this video lmao
omg oasis slay
What his FB . He is sweet
Is there any way to reach out to the 男主角？Am also a cleaning contractor
Je suis comme je suis. Je suis faire comme ça.

Oh so this is what my childhood bully is doing
Humble boss, very nice to see he understands what it takes to run a business. Hope he can use what he learned to make it better or if already good, just maintain can already.
This is an insanely cinematic video! Congrats to all how worked on this one 👍🏽
Very good looking dishwasher....it's an honest job, better than most politicians that you have in the kitchen cabinet and the people that holds top management in most corporations....and also it's meditative, this bro is more awake than most educated people that you find around you...best wishes🙏
Bro better to wear those rubber gloves when you washing. I have a relative had a small infection that turns to one that need operation and remove the thumb. Please take care.
I have utmost respect for him, especially since he chose this line of work to honour his mother's hard work. Truly a wonderful young man!
Mad respect to this kid. Admirable energy and attitude.
there is a big difference between working as dishwasher for 3 meals vs understanding the business.
Woow!!! I love that he finds joy in wanting to serve!! Singapore is a better place because of him!🙌🏼
click bait much. his mum is the business owner. why not find a real youngster that chooses dishwashing over a degree for real? cuz u cant find?
Major respect for this guy...power lah bro
such a wholesome story ❤❤❤
3:10 this is such a refreshing perspective. Many of us grow up with the expectations to go to college, be a lawyer, be engineer, get 9 to 5 job. Often we overlooked those people who dedicated their life just to keep society going, the unsung hero. Another great videos from ogs!
Misleading title, more like "Working at mother 's cleaning company instead of taking a degree"
i love your mindset. i can learn so much from you! thank you for your work and contribution to society ❤
He is not a dishwasher . He is the son of the boss 😂
I actually would have wanted to be a dishwasher… it’s my favorite chore and I don’t even care if my skin gets so dry.
Keep it up, man. You seem so happy and passionate and I wish you all the best!
“It’s a joy to serve people. I find joy in serving.” Thank you!
People who still think Dishwashing is a minimum wage job probably hasn't work in the F&B scene for decades. Dishwashers are in high demand due to lack of manpower, part time pay can be anywhere between $14-$20 per hour, which is much higher than servers and closer to PT Cook/Chef salary. Those putting $8-$10 will never get the role filled and usually force their servers to do it for $50 extra.
Lol people gotta fucking stop with the cap on this type of shit. Dude literally works in an F&B owned by the Mother which says enough. Washing dishes is something people enjoy? lmfao. the hyprocrisy from the comment section.
The feeling would be different as a dishwasher if it wasn't your mom's business. Btw, you seem to be a nice guy. all the best.
still as a boss son he still going down to do the dishwashing....
There is a saying
We get dirty so others can be clean
I thought he was really a dishwasher until it became clearer that he is the son of the boss of cleaning company so he is actually taking over the business but experience the work from.the bottom up i wonder if he would do this job if it wasn't his mum's company but nevertheless i respect his gracious humility and doing the work that most youngsters would shun n look down on esp in a face society like Sg where sadly such dishwashers job are associated with someone being uneducated failure in life
He’s right put your confidence in the Lord❤
What a nice person!
