One garbage collector was recently interviewed on TikTok .

He says he makes $ 29 /hour, and overtime pay can be worth $ 100k per year.

The job has long hours and good benefits, and he recommends it to others.

The one nice thing about working in sanitation is that you can do it almost anywhere.

Data shows more young people are going directly into the workforce or trade school and foregoing volatile technology-based careers.

Working for the postal service, driving for UPS , collecting garbage, or getting into a skilled trade like electrical or plumbing may not be glamorous, wealth-making careers.

If you're willing to work hard, they can provide you a really nice standard of living.
