toolbox scale 

The Toolbox scale is meant to best represent the jobs most suitable for societal misfits within Canadian industry. Some jobs are simply meant for the more unconventional types of personality. While these people in many cases cannot hold down more normal jobs in society, in many cases they thrive in their ideal occupation. The list is not all inclusive, and only encompasses positions where observation based data has been collected.

Toolbox Scale in ascending order, with a higher level of misfit at the top.
1- Roofers and Basement Cribbers
2- Asphalt Crew, Road Crew, Welders
3- Pipeliners, Oilfield Camp Staff
4- Tree Planters, Drillers
5- Seismic Workers, Well Completions Crews, Wireline crews
6- Vacuum Truck & Picker Operators, Earthworks & Heavy Equipment Operators
7- Hazardous Waste and Sanitation Workers, Painters, Plumbers & HVac Workers
8- Pipefitters, Boilermakers, Iron Workers
9- Electricians, Land Surveyors, Carpenters, Warehouse Personnel (incl Shipper-Receivers)

10- Truckers, Bus Drivers, Industrial Health & Safety Workers
Those seismic workers are weird, but they rank higher than tree planters on the Toolbox Scale.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
