Unless I am satisfied with this distinction you are trying to make, I would say simply the markets and the individuals dictate who can do what job. If an organization in their assessment deems the public image risk worth the reward of specialized skills they will decide to employ an individual. It doesn't matter if you are a gifted math genius or a world-class skater. Or, an organization will take a moral stance and forego the opportunity/risk because it is too much of a risk to the culture and brand. Either way, I wouldn't say we could necessarily prescribe what an organization/individual can do.
If you are making the distinction based on punitive reasons, I would say that a position/job that is an honour is subjective to the individual. Some would even say that being an Accountant is an honour.  Furthermore, any employee represents their company in some capacity, on the frontlines or not. |
Different gigs have different standards, this action would, even in Canada, make it hard for him to get a position with kids, if he wanted to work in a group home he'd have to wait out 2 years after his 19th birthday to apply when he would be formally pardoned.
Life hasnt been unfair to him, he did something appalling and it is following him in the same way it would follow all of us, we would all have to decide if that thing we did would stop us from getting a certain job or drivers license or the like, I have kids paying off insurance claims into their 30's unable to get a car because of some dumb stunt they pulled in their teens
