I'm a member of a team there.
same thing with sewer work
is it? i don't see farming as looked down upon so much as it being hard work
janitors
this isn't japan
ever been to newyork?
I've developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the warehouse I work in
los ang
yes, i grew up in jersey
Someone can mention an SKU and I can find it in 20 seconds.
maybe i'm bias as it is the garden state
or was until all the farms moved away
miss those corn fields
they are nice to look at over stupid subdivisions
our schools teach children only to aim for the middle class or higher
some of those working class jobs are higher
fucking welders make bank
yes but they dont tell you that
farming makes shit
thats also true
```Athey, a 34 year-old father of four who has only donned a miner's helmet for two years, says he plans to return to work in a mine as soon as possible.
"It's the only thing I know how to do," he said. "I don't read and write."``` ABC reporting
his reason is he lacks education
which sucks
does he? You know Mr. Athey?
"It's the only thing I know how to do"
Does he lack Education, or is he working a field he's able to work due to a learning disability?
its his own admission he doesn;t have an education is anything outside mining. not that he considers useful.
there are plenty of tools out there that mediate most disabilities. problem is, they are expensive.
i think that a lot of working class industrys are underpayed
```
"You can come right out of high school and make $70,000 a year," said Missy Perdue, 22, a stay-at-home mother whose husband, Jeff Perdue, Jr., 22, is a miner.```
I don't even make $70,000 a year.
i barely make that with a degree
So maybe there's a reason people mine, then?
its a dangerous job
Some people like Danger.
farming is slightly less dangerous
yeah, but what happens if all these men getting kicked out of school or not going to college flood the market
If I had the option to start working as a bike courier again, I'd do it.
though people die farming all the time, lots of people die all at once when mining goes wrong
So much damn fun zipping in and out of traffic.
