    Hey I resent that comment. I work at a scrap yard but of course I am a contractor not day labor. Work for 9 to 12 an hour no thanks. I do love newbies though there full of piss and vinegar wait till they find out its hard work and there is no money tree.

    If it makes any of you guys feel better I'm not going to go into this as a carreer! I like the job that i have so i think that i'll keep it. Trust and believe that it was a great excuse to take things apart though. I figure that i should leave it to the professionals.

    any time you want,we would be honored to have you in the family. we don't object to new scrappers, it is a free country, (well sort of) though it is getting a little crowded, what we object to is the reasions and necessity that so many are having to turn to scrapping to feed their familys.

    Well said Mike.

    Julie you are a natural born ewaste scrapper! I am very impressed how you came to learn and did just that in a very short period of time.

    Those kids are lucky to have you!

    Funny Kz I guess the failed solar project was not enough for us to shoulder.

    Scrapping is misleading - as a concept, it appears simple & easy. As a reality it takes hard work, dedication, knowledge/intelligence, & genuine desire/enjoyment for what you do and/or a relentlessly curious personality. I wonder what the "drop out" percentage is when people find out it isn't is as easy as they thought.

    The dropout percentage is huge. I have been doing it since I was a pup. Apparently I was half the size that I am now from what I have been told. I can't even remember that is how long I have been scrapping for. I have seen so many come and go that I don't even think about it anymore. Anyone can haul in sheet iron and shredd but how many people on this website would be able to disassemble and cut a up a million pound plus stamping press or assembly line. There is a reason they call you peddlers and I am an industrial scrapper who gets industrial prices. Sorry if I am ranting I am not in a good mood this morning seems all there is newbie posts.

    Wait What!? This is going to be hard work. I was just here for the easy money and to get rich quick. Oh well, nice knowing you guys, guess I'll go back to plan B, just wait for someone to hand me the answer to all my problems on a silver platter.

    Mr Dew I thought people with torch skills fabricated things, all others are just laborers.

    If I was to get a job at a yard I would opt for the air conditioned office job, not standing out in the dusty dirty yard cutting stuff up day in and day out.

    Pistone...It seems you were brought up in the biz and take for granted that having someone show you the ropes contributed to the success you have today. With the work ethic you have I'm sure you would have success in whatever you do but step back for a moment, take a bite of humble pie and picture yourself making a living doing something else without the guidance of someone till you got it right.
