[QUOTE="gimmie11s, post: 16065146, member: 17953"] Good way to look at it.. def some truth here. Everyone has to "earn their stripes". I went to college to be a lawyer. Graduated with a degree in Political Science then decided that a BA was enough and I was done with school (stupid). So... no lawyer. I took my first job in trucking (go figure) as a dock supervisor for Roadway Express in 1999 working nights Wednesday through Saturday 2130 to 1030. My job, as a 22 year old kid right out of college, was to tell 30 year veteran Teamsters old enough to be my dad what to do--EL OH EL. I got told to Go **** Myself more times than I can count my first month there. I refused to call in sick or EVER be late for work, ever. Did not want to give those pricks the satisfaction that they got me. I pounded that concrete working every shitbag shift you can think of for YEARS. My feet would hurt so bad it was crazy and NOTHING you could do about it. Worked my way up through pretty much every management job you can do in trucking up to Regional Director of Operations for another company years later. Fast forward to today.... now work from home as an advisor/consultant for a private equity firm that buys and sells trucking companies. Make more money than I ever have and actually have to find things to do some days. It's crazy how things have changed for the better. But yeah.... Everyone's got to earn theirs before things get easy boys!! Keep after it. [/QUOTE]
