Well it sounds like you have a little familiarity with a press at least. My problem is there is a vast amount of experience I have slaved for in the past decade to get where Im at. Ill admit I was flakey the first 2.5 years but I havent had an unexcused absence in 5 years and I hold the record for most hours worked last year at 2880 and I barely cleared 40k after taxes last year.....meanwhile this guys working a no skill job not paying for benefits or a 401k probably not paying taxes and clearing that much with 0 experience.....how am I suppose to take that....
