Pick your minimum hourly wage.

$10?
$20?
$30?
$50?
$100?
$500?
$1,000 ($40,000 for a 40 hour week)?

You would get me to do it for the south side of $1,000/hr but I wouldn't do it for $50.

For $3,000/hour would you be proud of your job not afraid to tell everyone you know you clean port-o-potties for a living? I sure would, I would even wear the t-**** and company logo on my time off because in 3 months I would be retired.

As far as trading my current job for the four listed for double wages? Yeah, I would and you probably would too.
For $200+k a year, which is what I'd be earning based on the OP, heck yes I would pump the sludge out of port-a-potties. Poncho, gloves, waders, and I'm ready to report for duty!

First you'd have to hire one. None of our supervisors are female. Females can be cashiers, and that's about it.

I would be OK hiring one just to make you report to her.

So essentially you are a misogynist who hates dealing with other people? Good to know.

I'm a misogynist because the company I work for doesn't employ them except as cashiers? Besides, I just don't think they belong in the work place, I like them just fine otherwise....

No, this is the statement that makes you a misogynist:

I did it years ago and was paid the eqivalent of $20 an hour now. I doubt that one would get paid much more than that to operate a hunny wagon.

That's what the company hires them for, they don't have women working in any other position in our store. But let's stick with the thread topic.

My answer is--I would NEVER take a white collar job in the first place, for any amount of money. It isn't "work".
