My uncle has been a garbage man for 18 years. Making the daily rounds picking up trash from your driveway.
Best part is: He loves his job!
I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my life lately (still haven't figured it out) and wondering what it would be like to have a crappy job like that and still be happy.
You make shitty money, and smell like shit at the end of every day.
But he's happy. How could that be.
Do you guys look down on people who work jobs like this? garbage men, cashiers, dunkin donuts supervisors, Denny's managers, etc Do you think you're better than they are?
Any of you guys in this forum work a dead end, low paying job like this? Just curious. There must be several of you in this situation. Is it by choice? Are you happy?
We spend so much time trying to better ourselves in the world, but what if you can find happiness mowing lawns?

I have a friend who is a garbage collector....doesn't mind at all and makes decent money. Not six figures, but certainly enough to live on. Has to get up at 3:00 a.m., though.

My Great-Uncle Mike who is 81 years old now, worked as a garbage man for many years in Dearborn. We went out to visit him at his home for the first time about 5 years ago and he gave us literally a Roomfull of "Junk" That he had collected Over 25 years.
We took the "Junk" home and it turned out to be worth thousands of dollars. There was an old train lantern that was worth Over 2k and an old whistle that was worth 2k also.
I still have half of the stuff in my attic.
My cosuin works as a garbage man and makes pretty nice money plus benefits.

Are you kidding with this? Anybody who is trying to make an honest living is okay in my book. Those that think they are better than them are the people that have real problems. Especially in this economy. A job is extremely valuable.
Today I saw a guy panhandling wearing an Orlando Magic jacket and designer jeans with fairly decent sneakers on. Gimmie a break.
COVERS allows you to tell others they r sexually confused so long as your hands are clean

Than maybe those can not afford a family.....One must think about that before ever thinking of having a family.....Those that don't are usually the first to gripe..

That's also assuming the wife is not going to work. $16-18 an hour plus benefits isn't that bad, the benefits are worth quite a bit. Some people don't need a lot of extra toys. Also, if you are low income, you should definantly see if a family is what you want.
The job looks very routine and people like that, you know what time you are going to work and what time you are getting home.

they do paulsy...sanitation do very well. not long hours, unionized, government benefits
there's a reason Waste Management is prestigious in NJ
KOAJ, you really need to come down off your high horse. You just bash everybody that belongs to a union. Am sure this isnt a job a guy like you who sits behind a desk all day shuffling papers would ever want, so really layoff the hate towards the people doing these type of jobs. I cant believe how much you hate the middleclass worker making some money.
Like i have said before i would bet everything i have you are very overpaid in your field of work, but you would never admit that because your to busy knocking others.
If all these govt jobs are so great, why didnt you go out and get one, instead of spending your life behind a desk?

according to koaj, those wages are way to much for doing that job. Garbagemen should work for 5 bucks an hour with no benefits. Guy is living in the stone ages.

Trash collectors have to endure 100 degrees weather or vice versa, the freezing cold. Also, they have to inhale all those toxins everyday, so it's a health hazard. I have a lot of respect for them.
