a lot of people think that they'd like demolition but it actually sucks pretty bad. it doesn't involve much smashing
AmericanNazbro posted:i was thinking about romanticized notions of blue color work being ideal, not that i have any illusions
blue collar work is pretty fun, fulfilling etc. i work as a carpenter and enjoy it. demolition in particular is just one of the most unpleasant jobs in construction, along with roofing and concrete/basement/underpinning work. most of the other trades are actually pretty good.
AmericanNazbro posted:yeah, I think I have the same sentiments as you. i'd much rather prefer a blue color job to that of an office job. granted, there are benefits either way,m namely working as a google SEO you have enormous amounts of free time at your disposal to read tons of stuff, which seems really appealing. but everything else about that kind of a job sounds shit.
im a director of search marketing and i have no time to read anything at work

really? maybe i've a misconception about that kind of work due to what ive heard from various people working at those jobs. the people ive talked to told me it was similar to what your old job was like but maybe that's because your old company was entirely dysfunctional and going bankrupt

Thanks for your contribution.

you can make win xp look like that. we use it at work - they worked so many years making it like rock solid nuclear bombproof (as far as security goes) (and also monitoring) that it is a lot of unnecessary work to change

it seems cool in a heavily romanticized light but that's probably a miserable way to eventually die of asbestos poisoning. but trade skills are definitely the best jobs, imo. there is something very appealng about having a profession that isn't entirely alienated from you, in the sense you can whittle a canoe with your carpentry skills or whatever

if you could see my ceilings youd know im already going to die from black mold infection long before asbestos can get me but yeah, it was a dream based entirely in idealized notions of Destruction that ignored the realities of backbreaking low skill labor. so instead im just going to do retail/odd jobs/house painting/crime until my dad retires and we start selling custom furniture together

I think it's pretty good work actually but it's still work with basically the same issues and stresses as any job + higher chance of injury and its weird when people talk about it like it's the opening scene of the flinstones.
OSHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *bangs on front door*

it reminds me of the way new age hippies et al talk about Nature and how it's more... Natural.
