It's a good job, but it's not for everyone. I would prefer a job where I could move around more...maybe see sunlight!

Wasn't trying to pry into what you make or anything. You're certainly paid better than the wages here are. The job I was going to apply for was overnights, which was bad enough, but then when I read the salary I was all holy hell that's way under what I make now for doing a dumb job let alone one where lives can be on the line. Talk about being under appreciated.
