CHAD: "I'M GOING TO MINE COAL!"
Isn’t that what happened to Wittgenstein?
Wherever I see this meme i think of this Monty Python sketch. Yearning for the mines jokes date back to the early 70s

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I'm by no means fit enough to be mining coal but I'd happily do it because I'd be employed.
That's when training courses and learning from your comrades enter.
Also, coal mining isn't the healthiest activity. But coal miners in socialism do get extremely high benefits, a decade earlier of retirement, extra wages and holidays, very regular medical checkups, preferential position to go to sanatories and vacational complexes...
Feel the call of the coal
I'm in! Sign me up comrades
Plus, if you're north Korean, you get to wear literally coal-made clothes (the material is Vinylon, AKA juche fabric), which is absurdly cool, epic and based.
Mining wouldn't be necessarily bad if you actually were given some form of the share of discovery and were properly compensated otherwise for the labor regardless of success. Like if hitting a gold vein for your job was tangibly beneficial it'd be kinda sick.
So long as health and safety are respected
I think it might be better to reward people for following procedure and, when relevant, responding to crises appropriately. Rewarding people for striking a vein that hadn't been discovered yet seems like a good way to get people to overwork and endanger themselves, because you're basically giving them a slot machine where the input is labor instead of money and it's particularly a concern here because even ethical mining practices still carry substantial danger.
meant it more as rewarding for everyone not just the single worker gets the benefit
It still applies if it's the whole group. I originally had wording about the problems of competition here, but I assumed what you specified here is what you meant. That doesn't do anything to fix the issue of it being a "physically dangerous slot machine"
maybe I think a physically dangerous slot machine would be cool
