Why do you think I'm firmly on the "Teachers aren't paid enough" wagon.

Someone needs to bring home the bacon.

Oil and gas services is certainly not the way.

"Please lord give me one more oil boom. I swear I won't piss it away this time!"

At least that's what I say every night before bed as I came into the industry during a boom and pissed it all away....

Working in Oil and Gas is basically being the garbage man in 2020, except without the Pension.

No one likes the idea of it, but they are sure happy when the warm juice shows up at their house and is available to move their cars.

It really is a public service

Hah, well, I can retire the day my wife's sweet sweet public sector pension kicks in. I guess that will make her financially independent, and me very dependent.

IT department at Alberta Disability Supports is also a paragon of job satisfaction and efficiency.

You are all wrong. The best city job is getting paid union money and pension to work at the dump.

[ercchry]

The best public sector job is the one where you can work minimal time before claiming stress leave, and get 75% of salary from a non-taxable disability benefit forever... well 65, but still. Wtf

Spoken like a guy who's never actually been to a dump.

I mean, they don't smell as bad as a feed lot, but they're pretty fucking gross.

Drop n go is pretty clean... could be the guy who takes the job of pointing at which station you should go to very seriously, always such deep thought put into it. Very rewarding

The dump may smell, but it's less objectionable then many jobs.

Are you kidding? The guy who points you to which bin to dump your crap into? Amazing Job.

Have you been to the dump this decade? You know you don’t back up to a heap of garbage anymore right?

Several times to the dump this year already and not once to the throw and go, always to the big heap. Even in past years, it's almost always to the big heap.

[killramos]

I think I have been 4 or 5 times this year junking crap from the new house and renos. Always throw and go at Beacon Hill.

Who’s anecdotal story is more valuable? Tough to say... but I’d say 4-5 beats several?

Maybe the old age got to you and you ignored/didn’t hear the instructions and just kept driving?

[Buster]

Jesus...you guys are discussing the merits of the various jobs at the dump? Can we jsut merge this with the Covid depression thread?
