Under capitalism, a lot of the time, highly dangerous jobs are also highly paid. Kind of a balance that the individual decides to engage with. Same idea behind getting an advanced degree in STEM or law. I think of my job by example, I’m a power plant operator at a large combined cycle plant. No fucking shot I’d be doing this if the pay wasn’t good. I’m around explosive and deadly hot shit all day.

    Homie, I’m asking this in all honesty. How many people do you run into on a day to day basis that lists their credentials?

    You gotta take a step back and reflect.

    I’m not trying to be mean. I want you to be a happier person.

      The dude asked what I do and why I feel I deserve compensation… How many comments and threads have I created? I’ve brought it up a few times when it was contextually important. I’m an extremely happy person with close to what is a perfect life for me.
