Day In The Life of a Construction Worker
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2018
- I'm currently working construction in Jackson Wyoming.
I work long days - 11 to 13hrs - and have been using that as an excuse to not make & share videos. Making this video is my way of recognizing that and moving forward without it. I had fun making this this video! Enjoy
So disgusted by people’s comments and judgements.
You have NO context of this dude’s work company, his fellow workers, his boss, or his position and time at the company.
He could have told his boss “hey man, I’m doing a little RUclips video today, that okay by you?”. If he’s been working there for a couple years, that’s a pretty chill request.
So at 4:20, when everyone is eating their frosties, they get shit too?
Last time I checked, buddies giving you shit at a job site is probably the most normal thing to happen. You wouldn’t know that, because you don’t actually working on a fucking job site.
He even says in the video “wow, this day is all sorts of things.” Meaning, even he’s surprised he’s driving around so much.
But nah, keep judging from your cubicles 👍🏻.
I agree. It's so sad to see all this hate...

There are days like this, and then there are those days (in them majority), when u work your @ss off.
' Guess this was one of those days, when the schedule, or the circumstances weren't THAT strict.
Every now and then, we ( people, working on construction sites) have days like that.
It's just how this industry works.
Nice comment ; had to reply.
' Tis good to see a non - hater, expressing concern.
He left out the part where us construction workers slam 6 beers at lunch. Or smoke a joint every break
Shut up pussy this is work for the birds it’s easy
That trash talking amongst the crew at the job site it just a way we say hello and have a good day at work lol couldnt agree with you more my friend
I mean you only witnessed 5 minutes of his 12 hour day.. funny how everyone has so much judgement on 0.7% of this mans day
@@lj3507 just say you’re jealous he isn’t a slave like you lmao
@@lj3507 That’s it?
@@lj3507 Oooooh someone’s mad that a guy named crazii gaming makes more than him
@@lj3507 Ooooooh someone’s still mad I make more then them. It’s okay man I make more money than you without being a slave it’s hilarious
@@lj3507 Weak "man"
I miss doing construction sometimes. I really loved being outside. It made it easier to have a positive attitude.
not when you have to work with a big crew mix with lazy, greedy, envious workers!
Until its cold,muddy,raining or snowing. Then summer comes and its 35 celcius in the shade. I love working outside.
@@bassrutten9838 I've worked in -20f it's not fun I'm happy its finally spring
I love construction. Sun, rain, or storm, gives a sense of purpose
Dude, I totally resonate with this. I worked for a startup, behind a computer, for two years and I couldn’t do it anymore. Being outside has really helped with my health/mental health. I try to be conscious of how important that is
This comment section is pathetic. To suggest he didn’t work that day is ridiculous. Just because he had 3-30 second clips documenting his day (the reason you clicked) doesn’t mean he isn’t working
He was running bs errands all day. I'm sorry but if youre able to count down the time left until lunch consistently 2 hours before its due you aren't working lmao. Everyone dislikes the person thats just there to get hours and not actually there to get the job done.
I looked at a few of his vids yesterday, he actually seems like a really nice guy. Been through some shit recently though. He's a very good video editor too. Terrible laborer however, and Jose & his crew know it.
Cry more pussy boi
WyvernX Glad to hear you’ve seen some of my other vids man. Thanks for chiming in
FriendofEddieCoyle dude you hit the nail on the head. Being new means you’re the most expendable. You do the odd and end shit - work for the outside in.
Lmao at all these people bashing this guy because you have to work harder than he does to support your mediocre life. Imagine bragging about how you get up earlier and work longer hours digging holes just to make yourself feel better. Good video dude.

As a fellow construction worker (now working in Remodeling), but spent years in a ditch connecting water and sewer lines, I respect anyone in 2023 doing this type of work. I’m 44 and helped put myself through college with construction work and started building things at 5, when my dad introduced me to a hammer. I have a Bachelors degree, but construction has been my bread and butter most of my life. I’m thankful to physically be capable of doing the work.
Does it pay well in USA
Are you hiring? Do your accept entry level and are willing to train?
I’ve worked in roofing for about 3 months, being out in the sun especially in Houston tx, and it’s 100-110f outside is no joke. Respect anyone who pulls it off.
What is the pay like
@@ihat3friday832 probably shit lol. I install solar panels on roofs for 12.5 and hour.
I spent three weeks on roofs in between welding jobs and it was the most miserable job I've ever had and the worst paying! Pick up a skill and get the fuck out of roofing!
@@connormcquaid7462 where you located ? cz holy fuck not even a mcdonald’s worker gets payed that low
I worked roofing as well for about a year & a half before I left for a better opportunity somewhere else. Not shingle roofs but metal commercial roofs, repairing rusty panels that cause leaks of all kinds, applying certain chemicals to preserve it for 10+ or so years. It was a bitch at first especially after not having worked for about 6 months, first day was 110 degrees with only 2 5 minutes breaks to get off the roof & chill but a good 1 hour lunch. Once I got used to it it was nothing but good times with good people working under the same heat I was. Those were my brothers on & off the roof, looked out for one another but it was the management that made me say "fuck this" & I moved onto something better. Salute to all the real homies that thug it out under the sun.. black, white, Asian or raza, tienen mi respeto. 🤝💯
I got mad respect for what you do, or what any blue collar/ construction worker, pipeline worker does. I’m terrible with tools, therefore I marvel in amazement of how hard y’all work. Mad Respect.
Thanks man! What type of work do you do?

I can't understand how people can disrespect this man. I appreciate your work man
HE AINT DOIN NUN
This guy looks so goodhearted and so commited to his job. I admire that.
You’re an inspiration man. Purely for keeping as positive as you do . I feel ungrateful. Thank you for pulling me up out of my bull crap. Life is precious
Thank you for this video. I’m looking to become a laborer in NYC and I’m grateful to see a little of what you do from your perspective. 🙏🏽
When I did construction my boss would have breathed fire if we stopped on the clock for frosties lol
Your boss doesn’t respect y’all at all. On occasion you have to treat your employees hahah otherwise they’d fuck off and the turnover rate would be unreal. It’s the little things. But I agree with you that if it was a regular thing any boss would kill someone.
No one is scared of the boss ,do whatever u want
I never said my boss disrespects me at all lol but he definitely expects a day's work. And I'm paid to work.
Not every supervisor is a asshole, I've got a pretty physically demanding job and there are rules stating that people can't wear headphones or have their phones out. I'm one of the fastest workers there and break both of those rules daily. As long as I get my work done noone has a problem.
Must of been an alcoholic
I subscribed because of this video, pretty much explained everything my girlfriend needed to know with what most of us construction worker going thru. Love the part that you had your personal time and the part that you looked for something in the trailer, I can soooo relate.
construction workers are never appreciated for what they give up and do with their own hands
Man, a bit sad for all the negative comments. This guy took a few minutes of his day to film it and register some personal thoughts, a few minutes out of one day in a 10 and a half hour shift. Good for you man, never mind the mindless robots. You did it.
I can oddly relate to the point of the day where you're literally just counting down the minutes until your lunch break. Respect for what you do, man.
2:38 someone said. “Nomás ta parado”😂
Meaning, he was just standing there doing nothing. 😂
😂hell ya
Xtrong TentaXion i caught it too and went back myself to see if I heard that right 😂😂😂
ALV!!!!😂😂😂
He says anda pinche idiota nomas esta parado which means he don't do shit but dick around
Lol I caught that to
I could never do what you do. Tremendous respect for the people who keep this world going, whether they are noticed or not.
Dude that was so dope im a construction RUclipsr and u inspired me to show my day in the life. Keep posting, u r still inspiring ppl bro
Been in construction my whole life and I love it!
U r civil engineer?
Stay positive bro. I respect your grind and I already know you headed for great things.
You’re adorable! This was a great perspective of an average job site labourer’s average day. Great for the old fogeys and youngsters to get a real glimpse of construction sites. Thank you for sharing, I will share too.
I am looking to persue doing constfuction work as my full tike career and it looks like loads of hsrd work but also lots of fun just working with your teammates on certain projects and then feeling like you actually accomplished something when the work is done. I absolutly love the connection that construction workers have towards eachother.
Great video man! I love the hard work and dedication!
Great video dude. I’ve just gone back into working as a skilled labourer for a local company after being off work for a long time, I’m getting so much fitter burning over 6,000 cals a day and I sleep better too. It really is good for mental/physical well being.
@@jesuscarrillo8890 🤷🏼♂️ I do I’m 6ft 3
That's why construction workers are able to eat those high calorie foods.
I’m medical and sit in an operating room all day... I commend and praise construction workers... that’s some hard hard work. Great video editing man!

Aaron MacQuesten that's right princess
2021 - this video is still giving value . I am a musician- contemplating joining the union of some kind . Have no clue at all what it would or will be like . Your video is GOLD. I feel so much more informed. Thank you
If you're still considering, keep in mind that your life will vary tremendously depending on what trade you do and what industry you work in. Our on-site electricians and plumbers work 9-5, while other places can have you pulling loads of overtime (and the associated extra money too).
I love your editing style! The time stamps and short clips really pack in your long work day. Keep it up brother.
Hang in there brotha, I’m a welder in a shop and 6 days a week I can get stuck anywhere from 9 to 16 hours depending on deadlines! Luckily Saturday’s are usually short
My happiness in construction differed job to job. One they had me and another guy mixing cement, moving the bricks that were just jack hammered; easy stuff like that. The foreman was really cool and everyone was chill. That was actually sad to leave the site when it was finished. The same cannot be said for waterproofing basements, though.
I think its cool that he lives on site. Its smart and it allows him a bit more freedom to ponder his future. Good man.
Thanks for this amazing resource, I really liked the part of the video where you describe how much you look forward to your lunch break.
You got the easy job bro . You must be related to the owner , definitely related to the owner
That or the moron on the job site noone wants to work with so they give him the easy job that will keep him gone for huge chunks of time ... I have 2 of them on my site now lol
He has the shit job, he is a goffer. You know go for this or that all day, plus works too much, mining is much much easier for twice the pay.
@B T yea too much running around what a hassle. When I go to work there lucky am there and better not ask me to do shit like that.
@B T am a sparkie so yea God's gift lol
@@yarrabarcreek5708 lmao
Jose's right!! dude is just standing around
THE MEXICAN haha this is not real job site if u got so much time to shoot videos on RUclips!
I know right he's just being the boss's bitch.
bob marley ya I’ve never heard of anything like that happened that’s very unheard of, but you definitely have to have thick skin because some guys just like to fuck with the apprenticeship on purpose
bob marley mexicans talk to other ppl like they would talk to other mexicans its not that their harsh or fucked up its just that their used to talking shit not in a bad way but in a joking manner. In a mexican household we are taught tough love thats why most of us arent pussies. Anyways just dont take shit from mexicans too seriously we dont talk shit cause we want u to die lol just know that different ppl are built different
Cool
Thank you for sharing your experience with the rest of us.
I don't know why people are hating, this was literally my experience one winter.😂 I also love how he counts each minute until lunch. U don't know how amazing lunch is or break until you work these jobs. Props man, I feel you
I see literally no one bashing on him. lol
Love the video! I'd love to see more construction videos
Thank you! I just reached my expected lay off date for the season, so I'll be putting the construction videos on hold for now - maybe when I go back in the spring I'll pick them back up. For now though, Rock Climbing!

I just started construction approx. 5 months ago. I have never done construction before, and most of the time is spent sweeping the floors, keeping the job site clean, and basically finding stuff to be active with. I usually wake up at 6, leave by 6:35, and get to the job site by 7. The company I work for is brand new, approx. 2 years old, run by 2 brothers who have 40+ years combined between them. I learn a lot, and tbh there are days when the task they have me do extends through the whole week. There are some days when I have just enough work for 1 day. When it rains, there's barely any work because the mud becomes a safety hazard. Hell, there are days where I get sent home early because everyone else has their responsibilities and I've finished mine (whether it be sweeping floors or doing tasks like installing door knobs, base molding, driving from one job site to the next, etc) and am now waiting on them for an opportunity to arise. What I'm saying, is we've seen him work 1 day, but how about we also entertain the fact that the 1 day he recorded, isn't everyday, but perhaps the 1 rare day in the week where there is barely anything to do? Construction isn't at all like I thought it was, at least on film. Its hard work, and living next to a lake makes it unbearably humid, but the people are friendly, the supervisors give you shit, but in a friendly way, and you learn valuable skills that you can use wherever you go or wherever you live. Soon, I'll be tasked with doing more important things, but as far as I know, the construction you saw in this video is the rarest day you can ever get.
Rare is right, and on one of these rare works days I took the opportunity to make a video about it. Maybe the title lead to a lot of people being mislead to what they were actually going to watch, but regardless construction is tough. How are you handling it? What type of work do you do? It sounds like carpentry maybe?
@@TylerSchwab I'm actually a general laborer, doing the odds and ends my contracting company doesn't see the need to pay for like sweeping floors, picking up garbage, and building miscellaneous items inside the buildings. So far its not so bad, but I live near a lake so...the humidity is god awful lol. I do hope to go into plumbing, carpentry, or hopefully an electrician.
You have great energy! Keep making videos, this was fun to watch!
I can relate to that over thinking it really tears my plans apart then I find myself overwhelmed doing nothing but thinking and wishing I did it instead of thinking...
Really cool video! I am a construction 'worker' as well, from Sweden! Right now I am just studying, though. But it is really cool that we do similar stuff, it is so nice to be outside every single day (yes, even during the hellish winters). One day I would love to work in another country. Thank you, Tyler, for the amazing video. PS: I subscribed.

Yeah I don’t really miss the days of go look in that trailer over there for that tool that ain’t there 😂😂😂
To all the people who havent done this kind of work dont judge the person until you have done it yourself. Serious respect man ! Aint an easy line a work. I know myself.
Great video,nice seeing the things we do get recognized to do a life of our daily routines.....Keep the videos coming....
We work shitty jobs to buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like. - Tyler Durden
That's deep
I don't do any of that
besides working a "shitty" job. I'm also a construction worker. It's less shitty considering how well compensated you are for the work
@@kurt1s53 construction workers are typically super underpaid and work long hours, but respect to you if it’s working for you
@@JoShsFITNESSnFUN where are they underpaid? I'm payed $42 an hour as a carpenter and yes I do long hours. but when I do overtime I am payed $84 an hour
I am a female landscaping subcontractor and I have much respect for other labor workers. (And yes I do the same work as the guys, it's not easy but I kick ass). You work longer days than I do, but at least you don't have to work in the snow! Snow removal is no fun at all, lol. Loved your video man, I dig your personality.
Thanks for dropping a line! I fortunately get the winter months off and don't have to plow/remove snow. In what state do you work? I'm glad you like the video - I think it came off a little sad....but more positivity to come!
@@TylerSchwab I'm in Colorado. You?
Comprehensive and realistic. Good shit!
My son want to work in construction, thank you for this amazing look into the life
If my foreman saw my phone in my hand at work, he would tear me a new asshole. Especially being an apprentice
EthanB95 haha what a bitch
Funny thing is he hasn’t realized that the reason he’s changing crews is cause the guys he just bought frosties for were sick of seeing him take a cut of their job
I hope you make good money Tyler. I left the landscaping industry in England just over fifteen years ago, and I'm glad that I did. It is very hard to earn when there is so much cheap labour coming over from Europe and elsewhere.
Damn that's a long day with a little break. Respect to all the construction workers out thier!!
The whole virus thing has lead me here. My school recently let seniors automatically graduate so I have 5 months till college. My dad owns an electrical contracting company, and I’m getting a job there. I’ve never been more nervous. Thanks for posting this
How's the job going?
Interesting to see how a Labourer works across the pond. I'm lucky that I can get up at 7am and start work at 8am as it is only a 2 mile drive (after I'm collected). In the UK we call a "crew" a gang. I'm only on small projects though. All the best to you and admire that you're using your spare time wisely. Peace - From Cornwall
Thanks for dropping a line James! Construction has its various forms, and this is just mine at the time
I really appreciate what you gus do construction is hard ass work
Thanks! I appreciate the positivity
Love this video 🙏 wish you would do more like this. Especially about the living situation on site.
Great video bro really enjoyed it! Keep them coming. I like your honesty on your living and work life!

Nice video bro, yall laborers on site are the real mvps! - Carpenter
Great video, really well made. Looks like you doing some good work there.
Hey hombre, you probably already know this and I know you work long hours, that your cabin may seem confining, that you feel sometimes stuck in a heap trying to find that better life whilst having to do something that doesnt fulfill you but pays the bills.
Just remember this, don't quit, where I am at kids younger than you are taken out of school just to work in low skilled jobs, they work non stop, often their job sites don't have machinery, those big trucks you have over their imagine doing that with handtools.
Don't get me wrong, I am just saying you have got a chance to make it work out, so go for it, that little cabin may be small but you have a sewer system, work rights, great prospects to advance your carreer.
All the best
Thanks for sharing what your day is like in your field. Never mind the trolls, everyone in the trades has there own unique experiences when it comes to the job. Those that complain about others standing around are usually the biggest offenders themselves. You'll get no hate from me, much appreciated.
this is a hypocritical comment. you don't know what construction work is like and you're being fed a false idea of what it's actually like. rewatch the video except this time look at the people in the background actually working. I've been in this environment and I would be pissed watching this kid filming a selfie video while I'm digging a hole. any young people watching this who want to get into construction prepare to be surprised.
Daam imagine if you were actually working
Lol... no Mms, Lol
For real dude was driving around until lunch and had all this free time to play on his phone
You’re all a bunch of un-empathetic assholes. Keep up the hard work bro, your sacrifices will pay off 🔥
What a kiss ass.... buying everyone ice cream
lmaoooo
Really fun to watch your video, I enjoyed it! :-)
Amazing video, keep up the great work man
that lunch part for like every trade guy is so true lol nothing beats lunch time xD
Not for me lol I usually work through it because as soon as I'm done with my work, I can just dip. I usually only have like 4-6 hour days and still get a fat check
@@ilivelifeso1 I mean a 4 - 6 hour day is significantly less than the 8 - 12 hour day's I typically work and a lot of people do in trades... I'd end up killing someone on my crew if I skipped lunch everyday sometimes ya need to but otherwise fuck that I'm taking my breaks especially since my company pays for lunches
Fastest 30-45 minutes of the day lol
I'd get an extra 45 min of sleep but that's just me.
@Phil Mccrevasse what does carded out mean
@Phil Mccrevasse its called a tradesmen.
That's not true... At 2 years thru my millwright apprenticeship I was a foreman. Once you get your card, you may switch contractors jobs etc. But it doesnt mean you "know enough to be a foreman"

Hey man I see all this negativity in the comments but alot of these people just hate their jobs fullstop so they seem to take this as an oppurtunity to express themselves in a way theyd never do so to their own bosses at their work in the construction site. Youre doing great and i aspire to be in the same position youre in bro!
Jose said in Spanish “ that guy jus standing “ 😂
Where’s the part where you rail a fat line of coke? Did you skip that part while editing?
I couldn’t find context for it really. I needed to keep the video length down. You know, stuff like that.
Lol that was always a necessity on my old site 😂

Hey, I'm 29 and will be turning 30 this year.
I've worked for a Pepsi.co branch right out of highschool and manage the warehouse, but don't have any enjoyment for what I do anymore. I live far up North in Canada and am ready to move on, maybe start driving a haul truck for one of the diamond mines up here.
I've been trying my best to do some homework on what it takes to get your Heavy Equipment Operators ticket for some equipment. I've been told that taking courses for driving only gets you 30 hours of experience and isn't taken seriously and could be a waste of money. Apparently the best way to get into a seat is to work on the ground and gain experience on the ground. What I didn't expect is that even having your heavy equipment ticket, it sounds like you still do plenty of labour work on the daily routine.
So I've been trying to get an idea of what construction is like, which brought me to this video. My dad is a real man and taught me how to be one when it comes to your work. If it's a job worth doing, it's a job worth doing right. Always outshine the people around you, and if you're trying hard to outshine everyone but it isn't obvious that you're putting out the most effort, than you know you have a good group of co-workers.
I guess I'm worried to start in this type of work because it seems grueling and I can't tell if the pay is worth it or not. Are you always dog ass tired every day of your life? What do you get for time off? Do you work 6 days a week until your dead? Do you ever make enough money to retire or do you die with a shovel? I'm worried that I'll get stuck on the ground and never get put into a seat of heavy equipment. If I could get into heavy equipment, I believe it would be a healthy balance of labour work and using your skills to drive, but I just can't tell.
Is everybody that gets into construction like you trying to get into the seat of equipment? Or are there shovel boys that never get a chance to shine and live that grueling type of life day in day out like a slave building the pyramids in Egypt until they die?
Join a union and never worry about retirement again.
honestly you have to know people otherwise you will be doing the shittiest and hardest job on the site for the least money. but no harm in trying
I’m 27 and have my own landscaping company laying patios / walling / machine work I started off as an apprentice bricklaying and slowly met other people who have different skills and I have built a team of trustworthy people who are happy and in turn make me money I can have days off and earn money I learn skills that will help me buy property that I can refurbish and sell for a retirement. I work outside for a living and have a far more peaceful enjoyable work like than my corporate friends. Jump into it head strong take each hurdle as it comes, listen to experienced people and work hard you will be amazed on what you can achieve in a short time good luck to you
BELIEVE ME BUDDY STAY AT YOUR JOB. i frame houses and everyday after work i am so tired that i just fall asleep without even eating anything and i get paid dog shit in reality, only way you will be making money in construction is when your a contractor, or have your own company otherwise dont even attempt and waste time.
Nas Mobbin or if your union
you got a real tough shift man props to u homie
Hey Man enjoy you time being young and healthy, out in the weather , working. It wont last for ever. Protect your knee's and you back. cool vid
Will do man! Thanks for chiming in with some positivity. I’ll take your advice seriously!
I am going to try out construction this year's enrollment (late career bloomer here)
I would enjoy working outdoors dawn to dusk over packing shelves from dusk to dawn.
Just hope the culture within the industry isn't as tough-headed like its stereotypically explained.
THE OUTDOORS! That's something I think I've been taking for granted, and need to keep in perspective - I love that I work outside. Best of luck with your transition man! I made the switch from barista to construction worker last year, and it has been treating me well. Do you know what type of construction you'll be doing? I'm doing excavation and specifically underground water lines.
It is. Get thicker skin.
It depends on the company some great some shit you will know quickly. Just work smart avoid the people that put you down and before you know it you will be boss but you have to learn as much as you can when you can good luck
One more thing the new guy always has to earn his place and respect so be smart .try to be the guy the foreman wants on his job (because of your work ) and remember this if some one is fucking with you for no reason tell them( YOU Don,t SIGN MY PAYCHECK AND UNTILL YOU DO YOU CAN LICK THE UNDER SIDE OF MY BAG ) shuts them up every time
Love the comments below, i don't necessarily get involved with the politics of people, I attended My civil construction course and now actively seeking a job for it, but damn its hard the course only went for 5 weeks and only had 2 weeks of skid steer/roller operations while the rest was theory plus 2 days of traffic control. and in those 2 weeks it was limited use for the bobcats because there was 17-20 people with only 3 old bobcats with a 15 minute rotation. I picked up the skill real quick because i play a lot of pc games for eye-hand coordination.
But having only 2 hours on the bobcat and an hour on the roller just doesn't fit the criteria when employers are looking for minimum 2 years experience so its kinda fucked for new people trying to get in.
I was aiming the John Holland company thats developing the underground metro tunnels in Melbourne but they require people with experience in some sort of construction industry.
But i'll figure it out. hopefully
Nice video man. I’m joining the National guard (hopefully) and looking into what I can do as a full time career, this seems like stuff I would enjoy. +1 sub
Good for you getting your head in the game. Just wanted to share my experience real quick. I'm currently in the Michigan National Guard as a 12W (Carpentry n Masonry Specialist), enlisting was the best decision I've ever made. I'm also a Union Carpenter working in commercial Carpentry. It's definitely not for everyone but personally, I find great pride in working in the trade. Good pay, benefits, job satisfaction and brotherhood!
Glad this video connected you too
You just inspired me to take that step and finally do my own videos. I work as a construction painter. Thanks!
Wow, glad to hear this video reached you! Keep after it man

My company wants me to look for vlog ideas for our workers in norther canada area to promote our company and definintly going to use your footage as an exmaple to show them!

I love water why the fuck would you shower to go to a construction job you shower when you get home
Have no time to even think of filming at work. Things need to get done.

G'day mate just found your channel...interesting video and I don't even work in construction...but you seem like a good bloke so I've subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos 😀
I started construction last year when I was 16 and I watched this video before hand and I was like oh it’s not that bad but then you I realized you forgot to mention the part where you’re miserable
Did u need experience when u started?
haha girls don’t like little boys that work at grocery stores keep it up fellow blue collar!👍
Lil Shade no, you just need the will to work.
@@derekpescio3037 girls don’t like guys who resort to construction cuz they couldn’t get a higher education
