Dude, I worked in an office job for more than 10 years. I didnt feel used. I didnt feel like my self esteem was compromised. I didnt feel like I had to give up my dignity for pay.
Cool. You're in the same boat as a lot of sex workers then! However, you were used. It's called human resources because they see us as resources to use. You can not feel used doing your work, and the same goes for all work, but if you're doing it because you have to to survive then you are being used. You're a whore for money. You just might be doing other acts than sex, but there's nothing more honorable about it.
Never once did anyone ask me to take off my clothes and insert X object into one of my holes so they could watch me and jerk off.
What is your problem? Is that the only way you can lose dignity in your opinion? It should be doing some you find demeaning, which is an opinion. I think people who are sycophants for people like Musk, Bezos, Trump, etc. are much less respectable than people doing sex work. We're all whores though. They wave cash in front of our faces and we beg them for it.
You have a very warped idea of what a regular job is like compared to sex work...
No, you have a very warped idea of what sex work is. Legal sex work the workers choose their partners and get to say no to anyone or anything they want. Sure, they'll make more money for doing certain acts, just like any other job. They aren't the same. Just like a construction worker isn't the same as a software engineer. They aren't worse though. You look down on them, but you haven't given a reason for what makes it worse inherently.
