Heavy machinery driver for a road crew. But that also means jackhammer expert, shovel monkey, and occasionally a coffee boy at 3am.

I always wanted to be independant, I honestly think it is fear of stepping outside of what is consistent money in order to get trained, then having to start over from the bottom.

Plus explaining to my wife why I would give up a good high paying job with benefits to take a risk in a bad economy is a hard sell. It's fear, and financial stability that keeps me from learning another trade.

The world needs ditch diggers too, that is literally what I do.

I applaud your balls and hard work, more folks like you, and less mercedes benz driving welfare queens, and we could be great again!

At the age of 18, I was sleeping under the boardwalk on the beach, and eating out of garbage cans. I am not as bad as some considering where I been.

Maybe that explains some of my sympathetic views towards the poor, and my so called liberal disease. (still my favorite thread ever made bless you yubba)
