I literally work with your neet shit all day. i didn't die last night after drinking almost two litters of vodka and I'm here to process your shit more.
>>
>>28209409
do you drink so much because you're up to your neck in shit every day? what's it like to work with human shit? do girls like hearing your poop stories? what was the biggest poop you ever saw?
>>
I'd make a job about how shitty your job is, but I'd still rather get paid to handle wriggling turds than sit on my ass all day.
>>
>>28209495
I drink for a gauntlet of reasons, mostly do to depression.

Human shit is not that bad, you get used to it and really don't even notice the smell after awhile.

Girls really don't like poop stories, believe it or not.

>>28209526
I sit on my ass most of the day too, I work in the lab and as long as people arn't dying, I basically get paid to shitpost.
>>
I would like to hear about your job.

What certifications did you need in order to get the job?
>>
>>28209585
I haven't even graduated college. I just called up and said I was interested and I was hired later that week. People don't want to do this work due to the stigma, it's a pretty secure job. It can't be outsourced.

I take an EPA test in june to get my waste water operator license level 1. You can go up to level 4.
>>
>>28209630
They're making a license level 5 especially for handling the creamy behemoth i'm laying as I write this post.
>>
>>28209653
Haha a poop joke, I get it! I work in poop so it's funny because you are pooping!!!
>>
I appreciate what you do OP, proper sanitation and water treatment are extremely valuable
>>
>>28209712
It's not a glorious job by any means but it is essential for civilization. Average people don't notice us when everything is working but if we were gone, in under 4 days society wouldn't exist.
>>
>>28209630
stigma? no I like a man who works with shit, girl here btw :3

Former civil designer here. Thanks for taking our blackwater.
>>
Do you smell like shit when you get home? You know, like a Mc Donalds worker?
>>
It's not like OP is going inside a sewer and physically coming into contact with the shit.

He probably sits in a room and monitors software that controls how the shit flows. I guess if on the rare occasion something breaks, then he'll have to go down there.

By the time it reaches the plant I imagine it wouldn't even really smell bad anyway
>>
>>28209792
as long as we can film it. I guess you guys must make a lot of gay porn down at the plant?
>>
>>28210303
We have contractor who washes our clothes and we only use their clothes due to the risk of getting infected by something. We use unionfirst. We also have a washer and dryer at the plant along with a shower.

>>28210329
Oh how wrong a person could be. I go in sewers almost daily. We do monitor software but by the time an alarm goes off, we should have been down there. The smell is terrible, but you get used to it.
>>
>>28210370
>I go in sewers almost daily
well damn

how much do you get paid? I can't say it exactly sucks if you're getting paid good money to do it.
>>
>>28210392
Define good money.

I get $13 an hour right now but I work in the lab. We get full healthcare, pension, clothing and IRA 401K, all that shit. I can't talk too much shit as I have probably the most cushy job next to the superintendent. I'm shadowing the old lab guy right now who is going to retire in about a year and a half. He makes about 25$ an hour. I just gotta get the lab certs and deal with the state and the EPA.
>>
>>28210440
>I get $13 an hour to do that shit

oh HELL no.
that fucking sucks balls dude.

I was expecting you to make atleast $16~18 an hour.

even walmart employees make $13 an hour now, and they basically dont have to do anything.
>>
>>28210468
I get good benefits, they don't drug test so I can smoke weed, and it's setting me up to make more money. I plan on moving up to the state level environmental regulation or the EPA.

It's really not so bad. I sit in a lab most the day unless I get called out to sample, listen to the radio and shitpost on my phone on our wifi.
>>
>>28209409
Are you an engineer or just a plant worker? Thinking of going into WWT myself

Thank you Anon. You probably don't hear this much but you're doing important work and I appreciate it.

We thank you.
>>
>>28209409
Do you do a lot of lab testing? I'm actually currently interviewing for a job in this field. I have a degree and it pays $14-17/hour with good benefits and fairly regular hours.
It's honestly less than I'd hope for but the work seems easy and it's purely a lab testing job where they just bring in samples that you process all day, so no field work as far as I know. Would you recommend it as a career/industry that may provide for long term stability and growth?
>>

They be fucking undergrads while you wade around in our shit for 9 hours a day, 6 days a week. Let me tell you something bro, they are right.

Hello fellow waste water guy. I've made threads on here before. Just got my grade 4 combined, still working as the night guy at the municipal plant. Making $26 an hour now to read books, watch movies, and play game cube.

Are you American? I'm doing lab work as well, and I'm surprised it seems to pay so little over there. Here it's one of the best paying jobs you can get without a college degree, averaging 20USD per hour, but with the potential to make 30 or more, depending on the region and company.

I heard the hard blue collar work pays fairly well, since it's a gross job (ex you, garbage collectors and sorters). The public transit people get paid 90k a year here I think, it's seems like an ok job, all you're doing is driving

How do you want your poop btw? Lots of tp, little tp, cummies? I don't want to make it too gross for you

I worked repairing waste water pumps so know the feels. The smell of shit alone wasn't that bad, it was the fat from restaurants like McDonald's combined with feces that was worst. Also, if any of you NEETs flush baby wipes down the toilet then I hope you get cancer of the rectum.
>>
>>28210468
I make 1,5 bucks an hour in Europe without any benefits but the 7 days a year that I can take some rest on and I deal with shit on the daily. I deal with literal tons of pure human shit every day.

I don't get one of those hazmat suits, I even had to get my own boots.

It's amazing how you Americans are spoiled. I will never get a raise, I will never get a better job and I am considered to not have any reason to complain.

>>28211454
Yes, but I live in a state that has relatively low cost of living. Even though I live in a big city, the job is located just outside of it and serves a more rural area, jobs tend to pay less here in general.

I'm unemployed now but I have been interviewing at lots of different places. Some other private companies pay better, but this particular job is for a non-profit that sustains itself by providing water services to local communities, I don't believe it's subsidized by the government. Perhaps that's the difference. I think other companies that are state-run may pay better, I'm not sure. It still sounds chill and stable compared to other high-workload labs I've checked out. The pay is considered average. I hope to start there and get a better paying job after I have a few years of experience, or get promoted if possible.

Alright I'm back. I got pretty far in school but failed out due to alcoholism and environmental philosophical differences. I just cold called and got in the same week.

>>28215810
Not him but I'm assuming they don't disintegrate and clog the shit out of the pumps.

I worked in a wastewater lab where I went to university and we often had to fix the pumps because of women flushing tampons down the toilet. It was fucking disgusting.

While 13 an hour isn't great at least you know you can go higher with more time and certifications and the fact that if you choose to you can be there forever because there is no way they would replace you unless you really fuck up.

Yeah it's pretty skate at the moment. I like to see it as temporary while I attempt to finish my degree and move up to state level. I'm pretty into prepping and all that shit so knowing a lot about water treatment is kinda up my alley. I honestly wouldn't mind doing it my whole life.

Thanks for they reply, bruh. I don't care about a prestigious job, I just want to be able to buy shit and move the fuck out of my parents house. And smoking weed sounds pretty cool too. Also, I used to be in a shitty environmental science program at community college too, but it was only one ES specific class like 8 years ago...

So could you describe how a typical day goes, ie what you do specifically, how hard you work, and if you can browse the internet and shitpost on downtime? Pros and cons? How fast you can move up the ladder and payscale?
>>
>>28217233
Typical day:

7:00 am: bullshit with everyone
8:00 am: time to work, calibrate pH machine and take effluent sample
9:00 am: break
10:00 am: ditch sample time
Noon: lunch
1:00 pm: find something to do,maybe skim the clarifier.
3:30 pm: go home.

They don't break down and jam impellers in pumps and block narrow pipes. You're literally flushing down patches of cloth. It's usually dumb ignorant bitches who do it but there was an incident of a male security guard who kept flushing them and destroyed 3 pumps costing thousands to repair. I never did find out know if he got fired for it.
