The world needs garbage men....
Someone else on the thread mentioned that being a ditch-digger is becoming a semi-skilled profession since no one really uses manual labor with shovels anymore.
It’s the same with a lot of garbagemen. The trucks that they drive have to be operated by someone who has some skill with hydraulics. You can’t put a brain-dead person behind the wheel of these modern trash trucks.
There is our problem: the school system is producing idiots, PLUS there is a societal element of people who don’t even WANT to learn. What do you do with them?
