well my story may be the same as many..........I was an alcoholic and drug addict for approx 20 years........This ended up landing me in some trouble including prison time........This may have been the best thing that ever happened to me.........I met many great people there and was introduced to a LONG TERM RECOVERY PROGRAM within the prison walls......It was there that I vowed to change my life and have not taken a drink or drug for over EIGHT years now......When I was released work was not exactly easy to find for a "convict" with sporadic work history........I went back to the Labor Pool "LABOR READY" and worked fairly frequently...........Unfortunately because of my previous lifestyle I owed so much money to past debts I would work an 8 hour day and they would garnish my check leaving me with approx $20 a day after taxes..........There was a guy there who had an old beat up pick up truck and after getting to know him he made me a deal...........Take the truck and make him money........After expenses we would split all profits 50/50.........It took me a few weeks but I landed a job cleaning up construction out of an old mall..........In one day we cashed in over $800 worth of metal.......At this point we took all our profits and went "ALL IN"...........Many jobs and 1000's of miles later I no longer have a partner and currently deal in mainly Ewaste........This is a lucrative business for someone willing to do the work.......Sure I care about the environment and recycling but at the end of the day if this did not support my family and give me financial freedom I probably wouldn't look twice at things going into a landfill..........So to make a long story short I SCRAP for financial reward and to have a freedom of lifestyle that would not be available at any other regular job
