1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

On my first day of auto tech school, the first thing my professor did was turn on the projector and open his inbox. He had like 3,000 emails spanning 5+ years of dealerships, lube shops, speciality shops, and everything in between asking for auto students. He said if we wanted a job, we could get one the next day.

Definitely a huge lack of skilled labor nowadays. I’ve found that it’s easier to find good paying jobs with a trade degree versus traditional four year degrees.

 

Guess it just wasn’t really a thriller, story was pretty good though

 

I am deeply offended.

 

Because I said he was from Cali? Don’t blame you

 

I spent alot of money on a 10 month trade school. And got a decent paying job right after.

But ive always heard i could do better if i went union.

 

He needs to keep himself and his rust far away from me.

 

I was just messing with you. Do you honestly think, Kalliphorekneeia would allow me to live there? Or be associated with them either?

Gary is a lost cause in my opinion. Just going down main street I feel like I need an APC lol. The mood is tensed all the time. I know there is some good people there but for as much "activity" that's there I just avoid it.

 

Im on my parents benefits till 25. Though i can get good ones through sears just no need yet.
Which reminds me, my packet came in. Gotta set up my 401k.

 

You know I'll be looking for a job real soon

 

Good for you.

 

Sadly sears doesn’t offer matching but still some 401k is better then non

 

In general, skilled blue collar jobs and industries are being pushed away in favor of white collar industries like engineering, business, and accounting.

 

absolutely and when you leave them, it will follow you or you can roll it over. just keep it going. I saw many of my friends and associates when I was first starting out ignore it, not good. Guy I grew up with - he didnt start really paying into a retirement account/option until he was in his mid 30s. He had to max his contribution to try and make up.

 

My mom worked for a 401k company for awhile so ik all to wel how it pays to have 401k lol.

But yeah. I wanna retire at a decent age. Not work my as off all my life

 

Well the ones that came from over the border understand its not easy and dont mind working hard to get where they want to get.
The ones that grew up in the usa all their life don’t wanna do shit

 

So true

 

Yea.

 

this 100% - you have the commitment and the will to succeed, you most certainly will make it happen. Doesn't matter the sacrifices.

 

You can do good with either one, it all depends on the company. Union hats treated me well though
