    Just like Anthony I also became a garbage/recycling man (in Canada) because of Covid. I was a small business owner and the shutdown destroyed my business. Sanitation is also my least paying job but knowing I will never be out of work again is peace of mind. I was also surprised at how much I love my job with knowing it's in the top 6 of the most dangerous jobs. I make a minimum of $54,000 on a 8 hour day Monday to Friday plus another 10 to 15 thousand more in overtime plus dental/health benefits and pension.

    I'm romanian. What I like about you guys, about americans in general is the fact that no matter what job you've got, you're proud of what you're doing, no matter how bad it is. Out here, a lot of people are just close-minded and would laugh at you if you're a sanitation worker. What's worst, they'd even laugh when seeing you jog. Used to do some jogging at 5 AM and people would just stare and some of them make fun of me as I passed them. Obviously I've ignored them, but it's annoying that this happens.

    I put in for the exam and I'm just waiting for my date now to take it. The starting pay is decent but after a few years you jump up significantly. With overtime you can easily earn over 100k. Great benefits and security. One of the best jobs you can land. I have friends already in and they love it. It's hard work but definitely rewarding.

      @@tontonmc8836 Yes. Once you reach top pay you'll be at over 95k base salary. Before over time. That takes about 5 years. In those 5 years you'll get big jumps in pay until you reach the top.

    No city employee gets paid enough, but luckily, with overtime ,they can make over 100k a year and they retire after 22.5 years, these jobs have a waiting list for that reason. Even after 5 years they make over 83k base, plus overtime, some people make close to 200k, which is insane for what they do. To put that in perspective, a teacher with student loans and 8 years of college for example, makes 81k after 5 years and a Ph.D, and they rarely get overtime. So for a job that requires only a high school diploma, they get paid really well (taking into account the overtime which is guaranteed and salary after 5 years.)

    • @jayprimo

      No, this job has a waiting list because it requires no skill outside of a CDL (which they train and provide for), no college degree, and still hire people with criminal records.

      The overtime is never guaranteed. And is sometimes even forced upon you, with the threat of disciplinary action against you if you can't stay late or can't work a day that you were supposed to be off for. As for the higher wagers ($200K) that were mentioned, that for the most part is not the Sanitation Worker. That was mostly Supervisors and up. And even for them that is an abnormalitie. For the last 2 years of dealing with Covid, put most to work 7 days a week, some for months at a time. So it's really not fair to compare a teacher and a manual labored job for 7 days a week for months at a time, with no summers and winter recesses off, and some holidays worked as well. And for the snow days those 7 days a week days are 12 hours long of driving. And let's not forget that Sanitation Worker is in the top 5 of most dangerous jobs yearly, Google it.

    Respect. I work in IT now as a software developer, but when I was in high school I worked 2 years with our public works sanitation department. Whether it was -40 or +40, rain or shine, we'd be out there throwing garbage. Good times, you definitely work for your money.
