[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4146578, member: 5412"] Be prepared to accept a lower pay if that is the dream job. Those are easy to find without benefits. The spoiled ***** would have hated my career working 50-60 hour weeks and taking call outs at 2am, having to drive 18 miles to the workplace, then back home to catch an hours sleep before getting back up to shower and go back to work on that 18 mile commute. Sometimes just slept in the truck in the parking lot. The young college graduate pups with this mentality in my crew wouldn't answer their phones at night to take the callouts even when they were on call. The old man always answered the phone, it was part of the job. The pups always complained at the end of the year when my annual income was 1/3 more than theirs at the same hourly rate. The old guy isn't there now. Wonder how they are handling it. [/QUOTE]
