I was also surprised at how much I love my job with knowing it's in the top 6 of the most dangerous jobs.

No city employee gets paid enough, but luckily, with overtime ,they can make over 100k a year and they retire after 22.5 years, these jobs have a waiting list for that reason. Even after 5 years they make over 83k base, plus overtime, some people make close to 200k, which is insane for what they do. To put that in perspective, a teacher with student loans and 8 years of college for example, makes 81k after 5 years and a Ph.D, and they rarely get overtime. So for a job that requires only a high school diploma, they get paid really well (taking into account the overtime which is guaranteed and salary after 5 years.)

No, this job has a waiting list because it requires no skill outside of a CDL (which they train and provide for), no college degree, and still hire people with criminal records. No other agency has wait lists like this, because the requirement are much stricter or require certain levels of skill.

@@CJ-fh5xq That is why the education in the US sucks, teachers leave the professions on average after 5 years and there is a huge shortage. I agree teachers don't become teacher for the money, but for the passion of raising the future of this country, but you cannot tell me this is a huge discouragement, when a sanitation worker without skills and not higher education can make far more than a teacher with a bachelors and a Ph.D. You are literally saying trash is more important that our kids future.
@mikepizza762 жыл бұрын
The overtime is never guaranteed. And is sometimes even forced upon you, with the threat of disciplinary action against you if you can't stay late or can't work a day that you were supposed to be off for. As for the higher wagers ($200K) that were mentioned, that for the most part is not the Sanitation Worker. That was mostly Supervisors and up. And even for them that is an abnormalitie. For the last 2 years of dealing with Covid, put most to work 7 days a week, some for months at a time. So it's really not fair to compare a teacher and a manual labored job for 7 days a week for months at a time, with no summers and winter recesses off, and some holidays worked as well. And for the snow days those 7 days a week days are 12 hours long of driving. And let's not forget that Sanitation Worker is in the top 5 of most dangerous jobs yearly, Google it.

Most college educated Americans get worthless degrees. There was a huge push in the 90s that "everyone MUST get a bachelors degree". Now there is a huge deficit of skilled workers and they are making a premium. Id estimate 60-70% of college grads make less then 90% of skilled tradesmen.
