We get paid to handle trash. Miscer's don't. (I'm guessing?)

Good point!

do you actually make more than teachers

Not here. But it's close.

i mean.. i personally think teachers should get paid more. especially ones that deal with younger ones, but those aren't even the teachers that are paid well. more like tenured professors at good colleges

butttt.. garbage men are pretty fuken integral. add on top of it not many people want to do as it's a) thankless b) messy, etc. how fuken chitty would the world be with no garbage men? garbage piling up everywhere, more disease spreading, etc.

it's actually an interesting question to me. school teachers in charge of youth but kind of in a theoretical and euphemistic world vs. the direct value of less waste and cleaner environment. i have to say the latter is prob a tad more integral
