Talk about tough. These people didn't want was forced on them by unscrupulous, high-pressure door-to-door salesmen. I was able to cut the delinquents in half but it was not fun.

But to tell you the truth, I didn't hate it as much as you would think. It was simply the most physically demanding job I ever had. I worked many days from 6am to 12 midnight in Texas in the summer. I learned how to drink water without swallowing and saw more than my share of maggots and cockroaches. I'll never forget that landfill smell.

Gotta be working in the ice cream plant. Sounds okay, right? I worked in the warehouse/hardening rooms. Had to wear a big industrial-looking overall/jacket combo because the temperature was around zero degrees, unless you had to work near the blowers, where it was closer to 23-30 below. We were doing manual labor, taking ice cream off the conveyors and loading pallets, or taking hardened ice cream off of pallets and loading trucks. If you started sweating and then moved to a section near the blowers, your eyes would freeze shut. Had to take a 10 minute break every hour and a half to get your face back to normal, at least momentarily. Worked 4 months at a steel mill, and mopped my way through half of college, but the ice cream plant sucked more. Ah, the memories…..

The point being that most of us when forced to do them, will work to get another job. it depends on where you are in your life situation. There will always be horrible jobs but they will get done by someone. Cocktail waitress when you aren't getting child support works out so you can spend time with the kids when they are awake and the money is good so shorter hours can be worked. The assembly line is not for thinkers but it is all some workers are comfortable with. My tree guy does the dangerous work because he can't work for others. I trade office work with him so I can stay home with my grandchild. I say we are lucky to have some of these bad jobs. My husband's grandfather went to work in the coal mines at age 9. His brothers also worked so that one of them could go to college. Ah when families pulled together.... Americans do these jobs.

I worked on an assembly line in a canyon in the desert North of Los Angeles, crimping the lids on flash bombs for Naval Ordinance. The week after I left to go back to school the line blew up just after quitting time. Then there was the summer I spent running a plastic injection molding machine in the San Fernando Valley. The machine ran at about 500 degrees. The air conditioner was the whirigig in the roof. We would walk out into the 110 degree heat to cool off. My worst job was one summer in high school.
