1 year agoI’m a machine operator in mining. Usually seen as the drop kicks/ dumb dumbs on site by the “educated” geologists/management.
They pull extra hours unpaid, constantly in meetings, stressing over deadlines. I push dirt around.
They racked up large student debt, I got paid to learn on the job.
I love my job, I’m alone in an aircon cab playing in a “sandpit”, I live my inner childs dream. But somehow I failed at life?
Lemmy tell you a story…
