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.
Obummer said last week he couldn't wait till he could buy a Chevy Volt...He'd better hurry they announced today they are suspending production due to lack of sales.
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. :)

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.
Good I'll put you to work scrapping all my darn tv's I've got laying around everywhere.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
I like this thread. It is very animated. I have enjoyed reading it.
Kris Kringle,
I understand your point. However, using a cutting torch is not that simple. Using a cutting torch efficiently is even more difficult. You probably know this and I am not trying to stir the pot with you.
Cutting big "Iron" is not something just anybody can do, and for that I respect what Pistone does. I have done a fair amount of burning. Mostly for myself though. I have done work for others, and while it was good "winter work" I would not enjoy doing it for long. It gets to be too much of a job. I scrap, not because I can't find a job, but because I enjoy it. I think alot do it for that reason.
I agree with your response to his attitude. Not a very professional attitude. What "Industrial" prices have to do with working in a yard I don't understand. Pro burners are paid by the ton. A fraction of what the yard is getting. They will not go broke putting money into anyone's pocket.
Pistone,
There is alot better places to get smug. You come off like quite a jerk expressing yourself the way you do. Remember, the internet is open for EVERYBODY to see. Does your mouth say the same things as your fingers? If so, well, that's your problem. If you don't like reading threads about Escrap don't read them. Simple as that. If you don't like newb questions, dont answer them or don't even read them.
I apologize for any and all for hurt feelings. There is a form you can fill out at the front desk.
