For me, education isn’t the dipstick into your text book history of life.

I had an opportunity last year to get my foot in the door at the Local 7. I would need to put in 4 years before I came out ahead. Had I been in a different situation (House;Cars;All the hobbies), and a little younger, I would have jumped on it.

It’s not for everybody. It’s not this GLORY HOLE at the end of the rainbow. It’s years of hard work, education, and experience to get to the pot of gold.

If you suck at life…and are a lazy slob complainer “BOO HOO unions are lazy too and they make more paper.”, you will fail at the union game just as bad as your other life.

Union wages are not god awful staggering…“HOLY SHIT HE IS RICH” status.

Bust your ass at ANY JOB…in ALMOST ANY field, you can get yourself to high earnings with little formal education.
