Quote:8 years ago I had no experience in automotive, no tools, no degree and it was 3 of us in 4 bay shop. As the company grew so did my experience unfortunately the owner and myself disagreed on my worth. I didn't require government to dictate my worth to him, I valued my work more than he did so i found a company that valued my work more. I could've left 3 years ago and probably should've left for more pay. but starting with him and watching the company grow from the ground up to multiple locations was intoxicating. At one point I was even pondering purchasing the original location from him, but I decided not to get in bed with someone that had such loose ethics.


My point is more socialism/workers rights in my case would've just prevented me from getting into automotive. 8 years ago no one was going to pay me what I make today, I'm worth what i make because of the knowledge and experience I have. Guys that have done this for 20 years make more then I do because they have more knowledge and experience.
