I've been working in the factory for a good sevenish weeks so I'm more or less an expert, which qualifies me to create the following comprehensive list.
Pros
Pros
- You can always pass the buck up
- You can leave work as soon as your foreman type person says so, no paper work for you
- You can not care how particularly you do your work so long as it passes periodic inspection
- You don't have to get emotionally involved
- You can miss a day and it doesn't really matter
- You can walk away whenever you want, there are always other factory jobs
Cons
- Even when the buck gets passed up you likely have to fix the mistake
- You can only leave work when your foreman type person says so
- Your work has to pass periodic inspection
- When you're a natural perfectionist your work will pass inspection anyway, but it takes you a lot longer to do so because you do actually care
- You sometimes do get emotionally involved, and that's kind of disturbing because let's face it you work with labels, pills, lotions, and bottles
- When you miss a day it's really hard to go back because you remember your non-proletariat life
- Nobody cares if you never come back to the job
- Let's face it, when you work at a factory they're all pretty much the same experience, no?
Now for a debate, which is more depressing: the fact that you could not make a living as a factory worker because you're too unskilled in manual labor or the fact that you make your living as a skilled factory worker?

How about: you can't make your living as a factory worker because you are over-educated and no one will hire you for the job?
it's like you're communist or something. i like this red side of you.
