>"BUT MUH DADDY'S DADDY'S DADDY'S DADDY WAS A COAL MINER AND THATS ALLI WANNA BE." Which is ironic because Daddy's Daddy's Daddy didn't even want to be a coal miner, that was the only job that was available, and freaking sucked back then as well! There are countless movies, books, and old country music songs about how CRAPPY HORRIBLE AND DEGRADING it is to be a coal miner! 16 tons, Coal Miners daughter, [Just check this Spotify playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7F0ueEz3sY8Q0c4BQzzumd). For literally over a hundred years Everybody has agreed that a coal miner is one of the worst and most degrading jobs available, and then all of a sudden within the last 20 years there was this strange change in opinion where breaking your back and your bones for barely minimum wage, getting black lung disease, not having enough money to raise all your children, being part of a company town so you never get out of debt, etc all of a sudden became what every West Virginian wanted from their life!
