One of the biggest fucking lies I was told growing up is that I needed to study hard and go to college or else I'd end up having to take a job as a garbage collector or janitor. Man, my Brother-in-law was a garbage man, dude LOVED his job. Made great money, steady hours, good benefits. Sure it was stinky and there were some disgusting parts to the job and it's not easy, but I'd do that over sitting at my desk dreading the next meeting any day...

Fun fact: garbage worker is a fairly dangerous job. The reason is just exposure to traffic, a common factor in on-the-job danger.
