i might be more stimulated about live poker in vegas where poker isn't an obscure "job" there, and grinders could fit in better.
Imagine you are a stripper. You've worked as a webcam girl for a couple of years, but didn't like the lifestyle. Then you've stripped a ton in Bay Area gentleman clubs but could only stand it for 4 hours before getting depressed. Now you want to move to Vegas because the city is full of strippers and you think you might fit in better there?
Did you ever consider a different career path? Maybe it would make you more happy or at least less depressed if you had a job that provided something that's a different kind of meaningful to society?
As far as "respect" goes, you earn that. If you made your way from the Tuesday day shift at OG's to Saturday night at Rhino's, you make very decent money and people respect that. If you make it to the Big Game in Bobby's room or date Kanye West, people will recognize you and think "wow, now they made it".
But having a job that generally gets little respect compared to other professions while not even being very good at said job (e.g. working Tuesday morning at OG or grinding low stakes poker) won't ever do much for you.
