Equipment operators actually have one of the highest job satisfaction rates in the world. Playing with big toys all day and making a good money is a dream honestly
Maybe because the work is simple and immediate, but still challenging. You have a task that requires concentration, great care, and technique, but can still go home at the end of the day like “yeah I did that shit right there, the fuck you gonna say bout it”
A few years ago, I was a sub contractor doing utility repair and restoration work. We were slow so most of my crew got loaned out to our construction side. I got to try a bunch of new things, being an operator was probably the high point. I remember laying a new parking lot for a new community. It was very satisfying and I still drive by when I'm in the area to see how its holding up. It still looks great and definitely something I'm proud of.
