This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You have to do your work outside and either standing or kneeling, and it gets hot as hell because of the heat of the welding. Sometimes you're in vessels. It seems miserable. 82K isn't even that much money for the work, in my opinion. Specialty workers can make more but still...

Not to mention 82k isnt the average. There's plenty of work inside but it's still loud, dirty, construction air nasty eating packed lunches on a bucket bullshit. Trade jobs can make you great money... huge caveat being it's only when you're working for yourself.
