Nope. I didn't really enjoy some of the jobs I had either. MN winters can be pretty tough. We have a couple refineries in our jurisdiction here. I can't think of much worse than dragging ****ing lead across a pipe rack in January.

But that's where the $$ was. I passed on a lot of referrals slapping copper together in better conditions working less hours. What's it gonna be? 40's inside or 7-12's outside? I chose 7-12's almost always.

As an apprentice I saw a lot of new F-150's in the parking lot and there was one way to get one; work. Now? They all want the new truck but not what it takes to get one.
