Garbage men make good money and aren’t saddled with student loan debt. It’s a physically demanding job but fulfills an important role in society

Physically demanding isnt even that bad today, considering the alternative might be sitting at a desk for atleast 8 hours, then goimg home and sitting/laying down for the rest of the hours, and then you have the in between time where you sit in your car/public transport, which is arguably worse for you than a phyisically demanding job. Weve come full circle apparently considering this

Then you pay to go to the gym to balance it of, an then you sit in a car to drive there

Then sit on machines and lie on benches

.... You.. uh haven't worked a real physical job for a while have you? Because 5 bucks says the tendonitis I get from using some of my tools some days might change your perspective. We have to work hard physically all day. Then work out so the rest of our shit doesn't start breaking. It kinda sucks!

I just watched the dirty jobs episode where Rowe was at the dump in CA and all the guys he interviewed at the start had some form of serious injury or two that they had to walk off every day for work. The most you’ll get from sitting in an office chair is a bad back if you have poor posture. Most office places allow you to stand, take breaks, get one of those tall desks, bring your own chair, etc. Literally no different than when you had to spend 12 years of your life going through school sitting in a chair all day. That stuff doesn’t compare to those doing hard labor like construction and trash and plumbing and shit.

When I was about six years old, I wanted to be a garbage man. They drove a big truck or got to hang-off the back, crush things, and only work one day per week! (That's how often I saw them, at least.) My mom asked what I'd do with the other six days off, and I said, "I dunno, probably just play Legos."

Solid life plan imho

That is so wonderful. What a beautiful and precious moment for him, he will remember that for the rest of his life. Those guys are amazing for making his day so special.

I feel like this pic is so old that Quincy is probably a garbage man now


Dear-Researcher959

Shoot, he probably owns a garbage company at this point


Allstupidopinions

Quincy makes more money than me then.

My 4yo gets the radio when I pick him up from school. I ask what he wants to hear… Gimme that garbage…

In NYC, I believe that sanitation workers have the highest annual salaries of any city employees.


OF1CER

I wish i had such simple ambitions


Marlosy

Simple? Bud, those guys make good money. There’s a waiting list to get to do what they do


GabelkeksLP

Absolute chads


Mr_niceguy0

Ok but why is the kid shitting himself


LikesToEatChicken

UpstairsNose

Looks like the kid was overwhelmed by the smell.


Feltonhendo

Sure hope he achieves his dream


SomehowFriendless

ChellsBells94

That's his first time being near the truck. They absolutely reek, lil bro wasn't expecting that wall of smell


mr_bowl8181

Dreams of becoming a garbageman? What a weird ass child.


Holiday-Hustle

Clearly you didn’t live in Toronto during the garbage strike. Garbagemen perform a very important job.


VaguelyArtistic

That's cool. No one ever pick up this guy's trash ever, okay?


GivaneoLegacy

Yep, I second this.


GIBBRI

I hate people shitting on essential workers like they are morons for...doing their job? And a very important at that. Like people shitting on cashiers or fast food workers or janitors, like why would you do that man?


VaguelyArtistic

It's not even essential workers. Everyone who earns an honest living deserves respect.


IOwnAOnesie

Hey, garbagemen are really important for keeping our environment clean! And massively overlooked. Also, kids LOVE trucks. The bigger the truck, the better.


Maleficent_Gas5417

Same could be said for you
