RE: cool jobs now, but?
Paving asphalt in the middle of the summer down here in NC where it hits 95 and humidity hits 95%...The asphalt has to be kept at 85 degrees or hotter if I remember correctly for it to spread properly...And this was done during the weekends after working 55 hours elsewhere...
I am lucky though, this was a part time job...I'm 53, started working when I was 13, dad was a John Deere dealer and by the time I was 16 I was rebuilding diesel motors by myself...Good thing I had that training because 5 days after my 20th birthday my dad died and we had to sell the dealership...
At 22, I moved to Atlanta and was teaching diesel motors, hydraulics, power trains and electrical systems within 6 months to Deere mechanics...I stayed with them 13 years, lived in Richmond, near Greensboro and near Savannah...In 1990 my father in law passed and I came back to NC to start my own business...I recruit medical device sales reps...With this economy it's tough but I'm making it work...
