1. I once worked for a company

that cleaned up after crime scenes. We didn't deal with the biohazard stuff, just packing up the house or apartment. We also did this for homes occupied by hoarders who had been evicted.

You never forget the smells.

2. I love my job.

It's the bloviated policians, think tanks, admins, and amateurs who:

1. Think they know more about my job than I do

2. Couldn't do my job, but get to mandate HOW I do my job

3. Use me and use my profession as scapegoats for their political agenda

that are the worst to be found in my profession.

The job itself? It's a calling, and I love it.

[villager]

9. Yeah, the admins don't help in that profession....

Keep stickin' with it though, LWolf...

[LWolf]

11. Until

I'm not so happy to see them when they walk through the doors that first day in September, I'll stick with it.

15. I'm a little confused

Are you opposed to the federal influence in education? Would you prefer there be no Department of Education or a smaller DOE and more local control? Or is it only State influence you object to?

[LWolf]

16. Then let me clarify.

I am opposed to neoliberal education, which includes scapegoating teachers and public education in the interests of privatizing.

It includes authoritarian control, high-stakes testing, and treating students like standardized products.

I fully support a DoE; and, along with that, I think that the job of the DoE should be to support my profession; a profession all about public service. I think what comes down from the top, at both state and federal levels, ought to be about supporting our efforts, not dictating.

I think educators, not politicians, not CEOs, should be in charge of educating.

I support federal protections guaranteeing equal opportunity and civil liberties for students.

I support local control right down to the school site, with parents an integral part of the team, working under the umbrella of those protections.

I support full funding of every mandate, and full funding to achieve every goal.

[philosslayer]

18. So here's what I understand from your post (and thank you)

You support local control (to an extent), the DoE, and federal protections. You oppose "authoritarian control" and "high stakes testing". Is that coming from the State DoE?

[LWolf]

19. It comes from

neoliberal corporate "reformers" whose agenda is to privatize, and from the politicians beholden to them.

It's not a departmental problem. It's a sourcing problem.

I know you get this. It's possible to support departments and shared powers and responsibilities without supporting corruption from within and without of those departments.

3. Thank god we can always look down on someone else.

[LanternWaste]

8. Or merely be thankful we may not have it as bad as others.

Or merely be thankful we may not have it as bad as others. I suppose the distinction between the two lies within ourselves.

4. I met a woman once who had a "accident" cleaning business.

One of those "somebody's go to do it" jobs. Mostly covered by insurance claims.

Also knew a woman who became a crime scene photographer. She said suicides were the hardest. Started in DC, and eventually covered the mass graves in Bosnia. No thanks.

Then again, I helped exhume over 4,000 human remains in NJ. People can get used to a lot.

5. What a rubbish list. For truly loathsome jobs, try "Worst Jobs in History," a series from the UK

You Tube has most of them, just click on the title to get there. Here's the first:

And don't forget, just because your job doesn't suck quite this much, that doesn't mean your job doesn't suck. It does.

7. my job doesn't suck

[safeinOhio]

10. 14 years of retirement has made it worth it.

Go to retire at 52.. Body is a little wore out, but I just keep moving.

[Xithras]

6. I know a guy who does #3 on that list. He's a manure tester

As the video explained, he tests manure to determine whether it's ready to be used as fertilizer, to rate its quality, and to verify that it doesn't contain any pathogens. His company is retained by various types of farms selling the manure, and his certifications allow the buying farmers to gauge the quality of the manure and set a fair price for it.

He swears that it really doesn't smell that bad, and that it's not a terrible job. He even offered to let me do a ride along once, but I don't plan on ever taking him up on it.

Neat fact: A college degree is required in order to certify the quality of animal shit.

12. I used to have a job that didn't suck...

now have I have a job that does.

the one that didn't suck, didn't pay the bills.

the one that sucks, does.

the never ending dilemma of the proletariat.

my perfect job? sit at home all day and draw...and get paid for it.

13. Once we have UBI, we can all be poets and artists who live happily in a bucolic setting.

[hunter]

14. My parents are artists.

They had day jobs when I was growing up, my dad's job union.

They are retired now, artists full time, with pensions and Social Security.

They live in a rain forest, drinking and bathing in rainwater that falls on their roof, buying food from local farmers.

I haven't been able to visit because I have no money for the air fare, nor the time it would take to sail.

I'd love to find a job that didn't suck.

[Javaman]

17. where do they live?

sounds wonderful.

20. Not mine to tell.

I usually pretend my mom never reads what I post on DU.
