Work

 Bava Basra (110a) I have the following tradition from my grandfather's family: At all times shall one rather hire himself out to idol-worship than be in need of the help of his fellow creatures. He thought that Abodah Zarah meant actual idol worship, but it is not so, the meaning being, ‘work which is strange to him’; as Rab said to R. Kahana: Flay a carcass in the street and earn a wage, and say not, ‘I am a great man and the work is degrading to me’.
