Close your eyes. Picture of traditional job in manufacturing. Is the dust flying; are the squeals of machinery mind-numbing? Can you smell the sweat in the air? Does the whole thing seem boring, dirty, and tedious? Is the factory pumping tons of lethal gases into the atmosphere? You can taste the grime and dirt, and you feel the heat of neck-scorching furnaces.
