>>119718641Being a butler is actually a qualified job with decent pay. There's all that etiquette stuff you have to learn to be a proper butler and not some guy who cleans the house while wearing a suit.
Now, depending on the writer, Alfred is also a surgeon and probably could get a better job in a hospital after the army pulls a few strings, but that's a step up from the army when he isn't.
What I always wondered is the reason why Bruce Wayne only has one guy on his payroll given how big the manor is and how we never see three quarters of it sealed off like real ones. Alfred should be chief of personnel or whatever the head butler title is and have a dozen or so people under him to mop the floors, do the gardening and secretly do all kinds of stuff to help Batman like moving shit around town or spying on the rich people he invites to the galas Bruce Wayne keeps throwing.
