My 350-500 hours a year overtime funded this cushy retirement.As a side note, the government will pay in most cases for an individual to go back to school for an education in whatever they want be it Votech or whatever. Some fast food places like McDonald’s even offer education assistance.Over the years in my work life I attended evening classes at the Votech getting certificates in welding, electrical wiring, programming CNC machine tools, cabinet making and others. I was dedicated to never being without a job for the entire life to keep food on the family’s table. I would take any job and have the certification to prove I could do it. Employers don’t have a clue if you can do a skilled job unless you can wave that certification in front of them. Fortunately my career path never required it but was always glad a new skill was learned. Votechs everywhere offer free training if one qualifies. Very few don’t. Someone tired of minimum wage needs to be proactive in acquiring that training vs sitting on a keyboard biatching about how they can’t survive.</blockquote>
