Lol, if i had a dollar for all the so called “engineers” that sit on discusion forums all day long bitching about the union payed laborers. I myself am a laborer at a plant and wish i was in some sorta union. I barely crack 32k a year working a manditory 50hrs a week at a job that took over a year to train me on multiple heavy industrial machinery. I am a skilled laborer making shit because im considered a wrench monkey at my job.
but i stay because of excellant benefits and a wife that depends on me. Ive been trying very hard to get into some sorta union payed job so i can atleast earn a decent living for myself. Its very depressing. The sad part is im more capable/smarter then alot of engineers but because i didnt get that so called :engineering degree" im stuck.
competition for jobs in wny is rediculous and my 2year degree isnt even good enough to wipe my ass with.
its very depressing.
