I was talking to some people and they say they need some coal miners.So i looked futher into it and you have to take a 32hr class four days from 8am till 4pm in the mine.The class starts march 17 and runs for four days.The starting pay is $20hr I am going to call them tomorrow and get my name on the class list.I was just wondering what you all though about this.

 

FU(K THAT!
That's just what I think.

 

its hard work but pays good when u come home no one will recognize u with all the coal all over u ...my buddies dad use to do that back breaking work..

 

My grandfather worked in the mine also he list his thumb due to the coal cart.I know its hard work and really dirty but the pay now days is good and this company is really safe.

 

see i couldn't picture myself doin that for a long time........are u goin to school like college or is this it any backup plans

 

SIC Southeastern illinois college part-time

 

cool cool yea man i'd go for then and use the mine as motivation if u don't get good grades that could be it (not that its bad but nobody wants back breaking work forever) thats what i did i work in the factories and kept telling myself if i don't do good in school thats where id wind up and talk to the people that have been there forever im sure some of them have health problems from that job..good luck man hope everything works out for u

 

Thanks absoulute

 

sounds like a cool job good luck

 

You know why they "need" more coal miners, cause they lose many to early health related deaths and deadly accidents. $20 / hour is DICK! That's how much you want to put your health and maybe your life on the line for? Way too many jobs pay WAY more than that and you're not risking your well-being. Stay in school and good, well paying jobs will come. This is by no means meant to demean the coal miner or the profession. Only that if you have choices, make them wisely.
