Whatever

My oldest son is a metallurgical engineer and his wife is a physicians assistant. They both worked their asses off and acquired a lot of school loan debt but they are both pretty much guaranteed jobs anywhere they go. My son was guaranteed a job before he graduated and has been head-hunted twice into better jobs. Bottom line is, a comfortable lifestyle doesn’t come cheap or easy. In my world there is no, something for nothing. I’m not a wealthy man by any means but my wife and I worked hard for what we have today and we’re proud of it.

 

Nothing is promised in this world.

 

Well.. There are exceptions..Death and Taxes.

 

Most give up after 6 months to year in my line of work. Been here 20 years and probably another 20 if I live that long.

 

Good for you!!

 

Let’s not forget there is something to be said about being smart with your money and live within your means also.

 

Hang in there. It will pay off in the long run!

Absolutely... we have 0 credit card debt...Wifey wouldn’t allow it!!!

 

None here either.

 

I gave this same speech a few days ago. Lazy bastards.

 

To me, and this is old school I guess, the problem I see is the work ethic in a lot of younger people is shit. If you start a job, be it a decent job or a shit job, it is on you to at least put in some effort. We go through 20 somethings like Tnredneck goes through toilet paper. A young dude was fired last week for sleeping. He has a wife, a child and he also has a serious liver disease. None of that was important enough for him to stay awake at work. This kind of thing happens all the time where I work and it's really not a horrible paying job for the area.

 

The problem where I work is...They don’t fire enough people, good thing I’m not in HR.

 

I actually made a list one day (on the clock) of the people I could fire without the company missing a beat. I stopped at 50.

 

That is what the kids these days need to hear....

 

Did you start with the guy sitting there on the clock making a list? Just asking.

 

I'm at 7, then same.

 

I did. They don't need me.

 

I'll be painting this next week for a friend. Boring pics to follow.

 

I concur. My stepson installs windshields for a living and on rainy days he asks if he can warehouse work and he learned that from me. I get my 8 hours no matter how when system stoppage occurs. Going home early is great but doesn’t pay my bills
