The perpetual truck driver shortage is not real

A Walmart job is an exceedingly reliable paycheck for a clean job in a climate-controlled environment where the majority of the occupational risk is exposure to the public.

I can't fault anyone for choosing that option if they can live with the income level, it's relatively sane.

... at Wal-Mart.

Personally, I'd rather work with all of the chemicals on the "Things I Won't Work With" list, but that's just me.

My best friend was a chemist. He told stories of some of the accidents he saw (or heard, or saw the property damage, or triaged victims of, or ...) during the relatively few years when he worked in a lab like that.

Quite a few of the chemists in that lab left chemistry, and did not return. My friend left the lab, and moved into computational chemistry.

And maybe after they work there for a while, they can switch jobs to Target where the customers are better.
