Even at 19, I was aware that some people have so much opportunity and others, so little. It's sad, too, to see people with opportunity and potential lose their way because of drinking or drugs or other causes. Kye, It is sad.

So much suffering in the world! ...and so hard for us to know how to respond to it. My heart goes out to the woman with the iron.

I think there are various lessons to be learned from working jobs like these. For me, it was a real appreciation of my options. This was a temporary situation. I knew that, and I'm fairly certain that my co-workers knew it too. And that explains all (or part) of the hostility: I could walk away at the end of the summer to continue my education while they stayed there year after year doing hard, uncomfortable, low-paid work. @ jai kai

My first job was packing boxes(for a courier company) in the back of trucks - in a warehouse filled with exhaust from all the trucks - not a great experience - but i choose it then Thanks for sharing and my appreciation to all those who work jobs in poor labour conditions.
