They get the smelly end of the stick every time.

They may not have finished high school through no fault of their own; chronic illness, disabilities, transportation problems, bullying, or any of many other possibilities. They are forced to get the most demeaning work available if they can find it and they are looked down on by most other people because of it. They are usually stuck with this kind of routine for as long as they live.
