I lol'd. Hurricane, I was like you about six months ago. I get paid $18 AU an hour to do similar work to what OH described. I get on with it now as in the end hard work actually gets you fit, healthy and happy. I also walked into this job quite easily. I just asked. No application or nothin.
Only we use concrete. On a big pour I'll wheel 30-50 barrows full of concrete in under an hour. Also do a shit load of hand excavating (i.e... shovel/pickaxe/rock pick work) 10-12 hour days, 5-7 days a week depending on the boss. I'm on an easy job right now tbh... I'm cleaning the company cars with acid.
Corrosive level 8 HCl is the shit man. Makes your arms go all red and FUCKING ITCHY. Melts concrete pretty well though. Which is winrar for me given that is what the I'm trying to get off. And the red mud from the Bayer process which is a kent to do. I use sulphuric/hydrophuric acid for that shit. Less dangerous than HCl though.
