I'd prefer

[Will17]

Hello!

Can we omit "rather" in this sentence, please?

"I'd prefer to be a waiter (rather) than a dustman".

(This is just an example. There is no personal opinion in this sentence... I don't want to create any conflicts!)

Thanks a lot for your help.

Say either

'I'd prefer to be a waiter rather than a dustman'

or

'I'd rather be a waiter than a dustman'.
