Reply #80: I worked in a steel mill

[OnionPatch]

and believe me, if the pay weren't good, there wouldn't be a person on the face of the Earth that would work there. It's stinking, dirty, dangerous, heavy work with exposure to all kinds of pollutants and dust and cancer-causing toxins. During layoffs I worked as a waitress, in a gas station and once even desperately tried telemarketing although that lasted only two hours. :)

Now I work in IT and I'm nervously watching as the jobs around me disappear to India.
