i have a "hands dirty" part time job, i work on a livestock farm with pigs! I do agree though that a lot of people dont like doing the "dirty work", its probably beacause manual labour doesn't always appeal to everyone. I like it though because the pay is good (for someone my age) and at least im kept busy, so i have no time to be bored. However its not something i would fancy doing for the rest of my life though!
Was doing lifting/packaging in a warehouse for 2 years after I left school while juggeling college, than customer service, then getting laid off today on trhe fecking phone screw you.
Absolutley nothing wrong with maunal work whatever pays the bills, keeps you fit and strong and its skilled work. Seriously people who think office work takes more brains than some manual stuff have clearly never done it all i was doing was rehearsing the same textbook lines and dying of boredom.
Not that manual work is fun or anything its shitty work no doubt but pay respect to the people who do it, it is definently hard. Bleh anyway back to job hunting from now on then i guess.

That being said, I spent a summer working as a Paleontologist at construction sites around California. I jumped in holes, dug shit up, sifted dirt through screens. I loved every second of it and would still be doing it save for the fact that I drove an average of 600 miles a week for the job.
It was fun, though. I felt like Indiana Jones when they were digging for the well of souls. I used to supervise when laborers were digging. Sometimes I'd jump in with a shovel for fun. The laborers would laugh and say, "El gringo se esta sucio!"
So dirty work is manual labor?
I was thinking fluffing or wet-work style things.
A lot of jobs suck!

I was going to say something, but I'm too lazy to type it. 
Ahem, I generally dislike all work, getting dirty at all doesn't bother me (unless there are spiders... those bother me) more than just doing work in general.

Being the farm boy I am, I don't think that there's a thing wrong with getting one's hands dirty.
Spiders yuck ya, they bother me too but they are everywhere =P i can handle rotten stuff or lifting heavy stuff in the heat but spiders, as long as they dont touch me i wont freak out
People think they're above it. I work in a leisure center and the four groups of Center Assistants are easily defined (with a couple of exceptions)
Older Males: Mature they work their arses off
Older Females: Princess syndrome, won't lift a finger if they can help it, think they're far too good for it, they need to come own to Earth, they work in a council run leisure center.
Younger Males: More concerned with dealing with their hangover and getting money together for the next night out.
Younger Females: Genuine and hard workers, possibly feel they have something to prove.
That is a generalisation of my workplace, a very broad generalisation, even I'm in the wrong group, I work my butt off cleaning, getting equipment set up correctly, the people that do nothing, wonder off whilst stuff is being set up or just plain refuse to show up until it's done annoy me thoroughly.

I'd rather do manual labor...but the facts are that the boring jobs bring much more money. So I guess I'm going to do a nice clean job.
As a female (and since you seem to have classified that women don't do hard work or are not expected too, which is sort of ridiculous), I've had a job since I was 16 and I've worked for everything I have (car, clothes, books, college).
See, the difference is that rich people don't required their kids to work because, obviously, they don't need to but poor people require their kids to work. My parents couldn't afford to buy me a car, a college education and new clothes so I worked and got them myself.
This also depends on what you classify as "dirty work". Do you mean a job where you literally get dirty or are you just classifying the range of 'dirty jobs' to things like fast food work and other jobs that don't pay well?
And someone said above that we're in a society now that intelligence is more highly valued then most anything else--and that person is absolutely right. That's why the entire time I was in high school, they beat into me that you couldn't get anywhere without a college education.
