    I wish I had learned to jump ship sooner instead of swallowing so much bullshit. The social contract is dead. Right to work cuts both ways bitches. Quit with no notice when employers haven’t done shit to earn your loyalty. The bridges we burn today light the path forward.

      That is exactly what I want to scream to young people! Stop bitching about your employer, take the experience you’re gaining, fuck 'em. Rinse and repeat until you land where you’re happy.

      Moved down here with two good friends. One went to work at an oil change place, way below his skillset and experience. Kept swapping jobs until he was a service manager making $100K at the largest dealership chain in town. Minimum wage to $100K in less than 10 years, and I’m sure he’s well above that now. Imagine that!
