miner_throwaways

Lmao every subway station in New York has so much concrete and rebar in it it essentially is a bomb shelter and as for the alien facilities I could tell you but of course I'd have to kill you haha

You don't exactly need any certification to do it except the OSHA 10 but if you want to get anywhere you definitely need your blasting liscence, all that requires is a class a good test score and a clean background check, and where I'm at now my work falls under the laborers Union which doesn't really have a pay scale for mining so we're kind of underpaid for the work we do, but once you move up from just being a hand the pay is awesome, I'll probably do 50k by the end of this year

I love it, we're actually working on a tunnel as opposed to a mine, I should've have posted that at the top I apologize for not doing so, and I love it, when we're underground it's always 60 degrees F so it's like working in air conditioning, I work swing shift and its a union job so it's usually only 8 hours but it all depends how badly they want what we're working on done, if they really want it done well work 10's, I have done 13 hours though when we were loading and shooting for a big blast

Pros:stay in shape, get to play with giant toys all day, get to play with explosives, get to do manly man things all day

Cons: where I work the upper management on the project level here is rather unorganized so things are done kind of backwards and stupid sometimes, like well report to one job site(there are several job sites for every job, ventilation shafts, tbm launch and retrieval shafts etc.) only to find out we need to be at another one, which can be bothersome but I guess I'm just reaching to fulfill the con portion haha Its a great job for me I have no really complaints

discovery channel, history channel, shows that'd have them doing tunneling on it, I'd watch them pretty often because it looked wild being that far underground, and just how crazy it is that human beings can create a massive cavity in bedrock miles and miles long was crazy to me I wanted to be apart of it
