Confessions Of A Man Who Cleans Porta-Potties For A Living
Is it as bad as it sounds? Not denigrating you, just it sounds like tough work.

How well?
I’m paid $18 an hour to basically drive around and do five minutes of work every 10 to 20 minutes or so. I get 40 hours a week over the winter and overtime in the summer, which can hit 20 plus hours a week.

My family is Thai Buddhist, and I was raised that way, so I can at least tell you about what it’s like for us.
