So I got a job at a shipping company handling packages because I needed health insurance. AdvertisementAt the shipping company, it felt like management had the mindset that if we could be somewhere else, we would be there. It also makes the work feel more meaningful by scratching the itch in the creative side of my brain. You don't get that same sense of being "in the dirt" together when you're working a corporate job. Sometimes, there's that sentiment in office jobs, too, but it's a different kind of dirt when you're working these physical labor jobs.
