Job at dump for 80k a year?

[Supra Blues]

I may have an opportunity to take a job at the local "recycling center" aka dump.

I would be working in an office on the site in a portable trailer. Pay would be 80k per year with benefits, etc.

Should I take it????

There are other possible jobs for about the same money that I am looking at.

 

[trucker]

couldn't be any worse than the packing house i worked at for like 10 years for half the pay

 

[mk3 for life!]

hells yea, office=a/c, but that may not be as valuable in Virginia as it is here in texas, but as long as your not fixing everyone elses mistakes all the time, then take it

I would enter the garbage business at 80k a year with zero qualms.

i agree man go for it, if the pay that much to people that work at the dumps i wonder what the poopsmiths get payed at the sewage place.

 

[ts_MKIII]

BTW what is the position that you would be assigned? and what hours would you work?

I would go for it. But do what makes you happy man. There is nothing worse then to wake up every morning and having to go to a job you hate. I should know, I'am in the military. Damn AF recruiter......

[trucker]

just dont get cocky and start referring to yourself as a sanitation engineer...i knew one ex garbage guy who did...and he was dead serious about it.
imagine how pissed he was when i turned around to a group of guys standing behind us and told themt hat it was like calling a hooker a genital technician...

What are your other choices you spoke of? There could be something that'd work out a lot better for you than the occupation you're speaking of.

Damn... recruiter......

So common.

Everything is somebody else's fault, isn't it?

 

[bigaaron]

Well at least it's a job that will never be obsolete, there will always be plenty of trash to dispose of!

I'd be inside an office doing accounting....

Goddamn rich americans......:nono:

That is hardly the standard for rich, i imagine it would be hard to pay a house, car, and other payments solely on that in california

I don't know about how much u need to pay for sumtin in america, but I just translated the dollars into encino money and I got a biiiig sum
You can live almost like you want for let's say 2k$ a month here, whole family I guess (I' mean if you already have a house, car or whatever...)

lol, average car is between 20-60k, most have a pair of em, houses are anywhere in the range of 400k-1.5m for the majority, translating to roughly 1500-4000 a month, now this is not including evrything else you need to live, but these are just figures that i fabricated right now, there are more expensive and cheaper places, but this is what i see for the most part

 

[ValgeKotkas]

So, we have a pair or 20k cars, a house at 400k(okok, he saved some up, not everything is bought on loan(I know americans bequeath loans to their children )).... and my dad said 2k is really more than enough to live on now (ok, he's 56 and I'm only child left )

 

[lagged]

80k is good. add in an income earning spouse and youll be nice and comfy!

if it makes you happy, then go for it. what state/county are you in?
