That with no health benefits and the expense of maintaining a vehicle. Why would I chase twenty dollars an hour when I'm spending a third of it between health insurance and car insurance?

Because, I don't know, twenty an hour is entry-level salary and most people end up making significantly more after five years?

I've been fed that line of woof on several other jobs, including electroplater. It never materializes. They just use that as carrot and stick.

I know I'm headed to where I can buy a house outside of this state (and lots more square footage) without doing any sort of work at all. Sound boring? Then, spice it up with some wood crafting classes or some international travel. With no bells to answer, life will be sweet.

That sounds dandy, but you could have been working and lived in a better place with your own car and have retired with even more money. But whatever. C'est la vie and all that shit. 1
