Speaking of jobs that Americans don't want to do...

Because of all the rain, I am having septic system problems.:puke: The guys just left after spending an hour knee deep in sewage waste...that is one job THIS American wouldn't do.
And many in the janitorial system are underpaid as far as I'm concerned. Typically jobs requiring the most effort or the jobs with the least amount of demand get paid the most. :think: It's an incentive for people to take them.
is their bread and butter! ;) I know a few guys that do this for a living. It takes a period of adjustment but after that it's just another job.........so they say. They make damned good money, I'll tell you that!
6. Gotta admit, our septic/sewer/etc. workers here
(very little illegal immigration) make BIG BUCKS. Of course, you can call 'em out in the middle of the night at 50 below to fix your problem, as well as at breakup when it's flooding all over your lawn. They are worth what they get paid.
sold his Roto-Rooter franchise as he had his septic pumping service a couple of years earlier. His retirement is going to be quite comfortable as he, a gringo California native, was doing one of those jobs that "Americans won't do". Well he did it and made a great living.
But that was after he disconnected the tubing from his Foley and connected it to the suction that his NGT was connected to. (OUCH) Of course he had already pulled his central line out. He had a Posey on--but slipped out through the end of the bed...took 6 of us to get him back in bed, but not before he snatched his NGT and starting snapping it like a whip and hitting us with it--snot and gastric contents and all. He was a little *confused*.:D
13. Sounds like a typical day in the trenches to me
and they wonder why so many people quit nursing after a very short time.
Odd that they don't recognize ASSAULT as a reason to restrain patients any more. Nurses are supposed to be punching bags and are blamed for not being able to talk the patient down.
