Aaand typically get most of the day off
Gonna put it out there, I'm starting to suspect big garbage has been waging a propaganda war to push us away from the ultimate job
You do need to start work at like 4am though. That's a deal killer for me.
I am an engineer who deals a lot with the waste sector. Garbage, recycling, and feces.
I strongly encourage everyone who is looking for a change or doesn't know what they want to do to at least consider this stuff. Recession-proof, job security, decent pay, very few and small busy seasons, long vacation time, some really cool people to work with.
There are obvious cons. I don't enjoy site visits. I deal with a lot of unqualified clients. Fuck Parsons and Jacobs so very hard.
You get most of the day off after having worked a full day + still need a full and thorough shower + have low energy because it's a physically demanding job
Src: did it for 3 years as student job
