Best Answer:
Of course not! It's good honest work and there's no shame in that. Be proud of yourself that you recognize a financial need and are able and willing to do something to fill it. My dad used to say that it didn't matter whether you were a ditch digger or a brain surgeon; just make sure you do the best job you can do and be the best one there is. In other words, it's not the work you do that makes you who you are; it's your attitude and your willingness to do a good job no matter what you do. Good luck, and congratulations on taking control of your financial life!

A:

A:
Never. You shouldnt be ashamed at all. Someone people worry too much about what others think. You are doing what you need to for extra $$$ and thats smart. Some people wont even work one job. Do it with a smile.

A:
Ummmm....is there any job that you should be ashamed of doing? I mean lets X out the illegal and immoral. If I were a janitor I would be insulted reading this post. As if they should be ashamed of mopping floors and cleaning the toilet. They shouldn't. Neither should you start being embarresed by peoples job.

I paid for my college tuition by cleaning other people's houses. I specialized in cleaning military base houses for inspections and seasonal homes and resorts. I went to one of the top school in the nation--and part of it was paid for by doing the stuff that other people didn't want to deal with. There is no shame in working to take care of you and your family. The only shame is not doing anything about it. Opportunity passes by most people, because it dresses itself in overalls and looks like work.” ...Thomas Edison.

A:
I love the Thomas Edison quote! This is a Western country mentality, where some people think very highly of themselves, often without grounds :-), and figure they are too good for a certain job. They sure would hate going to a dirty mall, though.
