You think? I worked 12 hour night shifts in a factory and it got old fast. I also worked in retail and loved it. Needless to say the job in retail lasted the longest. It's strange that I generally don't like people and find them boring yet when dealing with most customers I found myself enjoying it. It's probably because they needed my help and it made me feel good knowing that.

I think it depends on the company you work for or the work you do. I've worked for a couple of manufacturing companies - never on the floor myself - but I knew all the guys down there.

One guy I worked with did finish work on the products, basically cleaning them up, making sure the parts fit correctly, that kinda stuff. Kind of like a non-engineering version of quality control. Anyway, dude basically just chilled listening to Metallica (not my first choice) and shit while he relaxed and worked. He just did his thing and nobody bugged him. It was a super chill gig for him.

Conversely, at the same company, they always had to bring in temps for the buffing machine because it was such a pain in the ass to work with. The room was hot, they had to dress down in what basically amounts to hazmat suits to do the job, and it had the added benefit of possible breaking your bones if you fucked up. That was not bueno.

As long as you're okay with monotony and your boss lets you listen to books, radio, whatever then it's fine.
