If you get $14 an hour and full benefits to sweep a parking lot, then no one should bitch about the big 3

You're going to learn that songs get played out very very quickly. I've talked to a guy who owns a street sweeper company, doesnt honestly seem that bad.

Owners bank on that shit, btw

I say load up the iPod with a ton of music seeing how that job has got to be boring. I'd do it though. Easy money IMO.

A few weeks of vacation time in 6 months? Christ this job sounds better then working for General Motors. Where in Illinois is it?

There was a story on the internet about a 3rd shift street sweeper before. It was quite amazing really. I believe it was on SomethingAwful.

Our bussers average $13 an hour and they're 16 - 21 years old.

If you don't really want to deal with people though, street sweeping sounds like a good plan.
