If someone manages their money right they could do that job for 10 years and retire very comfortably. That may involve having a roommate and commuting on public transportation. If that same person wants to live in Manhattan in a nice place, own a car that is parked in the city, and eat out at good to great restaurants every night they may retire broke in 40 years. Making a half million to move shit around a stage can be whatever this person wants it to be.

Yea but most union stagehands are dumb as a box of rocks. Any monkey can get in to stagehand work. But unless you know someone high up in the union it'll take you 3 or more years to become union in most states.

They had their place a hundred years ago and did a lot of good for workers in America. I think unions have become leeches who try to create discord between actual workers and management in order to justify the dues they take. Through their behavior they have done as much as anyone to drive American jobs overseas and drive American manufacturers in to the ground.

Agree 100% with all of that.
