    Low pay, bad working condition, no sense of accomplishment, hardly any upwards mobility. Why would I do that, if I have better options?

    I kind of agree with the lack of career options for factory workers, but in many factory jobs there are several upsides.

    For example many places allow you to listen to music/podcasts all day, while you are working. The work itself is often not mentally taxing and it doesn’t follow you home when you leave. Also there is no reason not to feel pride in being able to complete relatively complex tasks with care and speed.
