[QUOTE="Ranger107, post: 564695, member: 4357"] Reminds me of a funny story from years past. In HS had two older cousins, Wilton and Tommy. Will was the studious type, straight A's. Went right from HS to FL State. Got his bachelors, then Masters. Right into a teaching job at the school. Got his PhD and 2 years later, full professor. So after 10 years of school was probably making 30K a year. Remember this was early 70's. Tommy, who barely made it through HS, and only cared about fast cars and fast girls, got a job as an oiler/ laborer on a union crane crew in Jacksonville. He was very likeable, and the crane crew got him into an apprentice program. 2 years later he is a fully qualified crane operator, pulling down 70K a year. By the time Will got his profesorship Tommy was pulling down close to 100K per year. Yep union jobs back in the day paid very well. [/QUOTE]
