Whatever you do stay away from Caterpillar. They're copying Amazon's slave labor mentality these days.

Just depends what you want to do, some factories pay shit some well. Look for plants that make expensive things for the best pay (autos, boats, aircrafts, RVs, etc) if your only aspiration is to be a lineworker

I'll take anything with upward mobility. Which seems better in manu since warehouse you can really only go up to manager.

Is it really that bad? my job doesn't even pay benefits and i heard amazon had full benefits.

Get a degree you lazy simp

Stay away from manufacturing jobs unless you want to destroy your body for the rest of your life.

Construction is the way to go, also UNION WAGES.

Degrees aren't for everyone.

Well in my experience mfg has it all so its a good place to start, IT dept, accounting, HR, engineering, management, safety, etc so just get a job at a place struggling to keep people and get in the dept you want and go from there

Go work at a union steel mill-they are hiring and the while the pay is less than it was it’s still better than 90% of blue collar jobs and benefits are great.

>>10697167
yeah you're right, they're not for dumb losers like you

>>10697184

Lol, I have one you dumb faggot.

when i was in uni i worked on an assembly line in an organic food plant
>no headphones allowed cause sometimes you need hearing protection and sometimes you have to hear whats going on for safety
ok fair enough
>2 months in i get swapped from watching the machine that cums cocnut oil into jars to screwing the lids onto bottles of cooking oil
>still no headphones even though I literally dont move all day
>no rubber mat to stand on either
>now have to hose the floor at the end of the day
>laid off a month later
i did some time helping contractors after that. That was much better. Variety is the spice of life. I also did 2 years in a warehouse after that which was great cause I just listened to podcasts for 8 hours and picked orders.

fuck am I glad to not be a wagie anymore

Perhaps I can assist you, Anon
I went distribution warehouse->quality control at same distributor->quality control in manufacturing. I make twice what I earned three years ago as a warehouse monkey. The job still sucks massive cock though.

>>10697124
Yeah Amazon has good benefits as does Caterpillar. At both of these places you'll be working at speeds and stress levels that will break most people in well under a decade. What are your joints worth to you?

>>10697393
How did you get promoted?
>>10697301
what do you do now?

>>10697499
a few online stores that I got rolling while on the job in the warehouse + I still take temporary trades jobs/fly in fly out when they're worth it. Lots of them give you per diem on top of your hourly so as long as you don't go drinking with everyone else every night you can bank a good amount in a few weeks/couple monts
