Worked as an armored car "messenger" a long time ago. Was given a .38 revolver and paid $7/hr. to carry money bags to and from banks and businesses in various cities. Had to sit in the back of a loud, hot, bumpy truck with no music, etc. Eventually got a raise of 10 cents after about 6 months. My boss was a female part-time cop who was angry because she never became a secret service agent. She would badmouth us all including one of my co-workers who was a semi-retired WWII vet. I finally figured out that I would just give any would be robber the money and save my life.

Soon after I quit that job another local armored car company had an armed robbery where the robbers stole something like a million. I think it was an inside job. The bad guys were never caught.

Kinda wish it was me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Non destructive testing tech (x-ray hand) Level II certs held in RT, PT, MT, UT thickness, and Level I in UT shear wave. (working on finding the time to get my UT S.W. level II certs) and get some class time in for automated UT and Digital RT. Most of my time is RT work, (yes playing with high intensity Gamma Radiation). Next winter will be getting my C.W.I. and looking at a few other avenues for my future to get more time at home.

ok, and how did you get this job?

I have been in construction my whole life. My experience and back ground opened the door for me to get my foot in it. After that I worked my ass off, and earned my position, and reputation.

It pays good but really man you dont want this life, its a hard life. A few more years and I will have more options and opportunity to do other things, I never really intended to be doing this shit for as long as I have.

[HarryPotter]

I'm sure it's better than being broke as fuck.

I spray foam, it sucks. But it pays my bills just fine.

I hated roofing more than anything.

really you would be surprised, I have not been home since september 12 and I can count on 1 hand the # of days I have had off since.

Like I said they make it very worth my time to be here, but its not a easy life, especially if you have a family and loved ones at home.

The worst jobs I had were in my late teens, while still a student.

A- cleaning man-sized ducts in a petrochemical factory with oxygen masks and "wetsuits", being attentive to warnings about clouds of chloridic acid (that thing would eat your flesh). Summer job. I stayed only one day. Job was advertized as doing maintenance in a warehouse. Yeah. Sure.

B- Spent one summer on a loading dock, filling up 16 wheelers with everything from a 100-lbs cabinet to a 1-lbs toilet paper dispensers. And counting everything that went in the truck. My fellow workers were 250lbs monsters. I was 140lbs. But did the job.

C- Working in a fastfood restaurant, equivalent to BK or McDonald. I was doing maintenace for a week (sweeping floors, yelling at people leaving their food on tables) and became main cook the next week. I did managed to set-up procedures that sped up cooking food at least three times as fast. Who cares about the buzzer-clock? Instad of laying patties 12 by 12, I was doing 24 by 24, and shorter cooking time. My meat patties were cooked pink, not well done, but there was no line up at the cashiers ;-) At least it was fun. But even after several showers, I still smelled grease. Oh, and one dude severed a finger with a mofo knife when slicing lettuce. Blood everywhere on the salad, and a bit of finger on the stainless counter. Mofo boss told him to punch his time card before running to the hospital... One of my coworkers was a Scottish dude. So we spoke english all the time, which pissed of the bosses (yeah, that was somewhere in France).
