I used to work with a guy who talked about a job he once had at the factory that made Milk Duds. Suffice to say I’ve never eaten a Milk Dud since.
How about stocking sheetrock in houses. 4 ft X 12 ft lengths, two sheets at a time, unload by hand and take them into a house and set them down without breaking them. We were paid $2 a thousand square foot, which works out to every 21 sheets we made $2. Upstairs, downstairs in the snow and in the heat, I averaged 500 sheets delivered a day. Now THAT is work that only an illegal will do....except everyone working with me at the time, or in the drywall business was white. Of course that was 20 years ago, people just aren’t that motivated anymore......or is it just that they can live without working?
