Why do you think serving is an undeserving job? Each person being paid to do some type of task has a job. That is better than being unemployed.
It's wrong to make value judgements on the way people make money in an honest job. A person in the 19th century who had a job as a servant at least had a job, and what was considered respectable as well. The alternatives were far, far worse, like getting caught for petty theft and shipped to a colony.
