I got into scrapping when i was 10 i run around with my dad picking up and selling scrap on the weekends. Now that i have a full part time job as a union boilermaker, i have about 6 months a year down time to make side money. Primarily we part out cars. But i also break down alot of computers, and process escrap.
Ill have enough hours for a full pension at my real job by the time im 45. So another 15 years. Have to wait till 57 before i can start drawing it. Already have over 100k in the annuity and 200k in the pension account. The plan is to work till 56 to get the highest monthly amount possible then take a layoff so i can claim unemloyment for a full year before the pension kicks in. Or if inflation kicks in big time i can just sell off my metals, walk away from my debts in the usa and retire in mexico right now. Money has never been an issue for me. The jobs and the money is out there people, if you have skills and are willing to travel and willing to give 110% every single day.
Scrapping is great for supplemental income, but unless you own scrapyards your not going to make millions, even then its a risky business. Just stating the facts.
