with major employers to train and educate workers...
Gee that’s funny. I didn’t know a ####ing thing about Graphics. Was the bookkeeper in the department.
Nice guy, Joe Rabinowitz, took a liking to me and trained me for six months, setting up a 20 year career.
Started paying me a (much higher) graphics salary while I still barely knew anything.
There’s your “training and education”.
Not these lies.
Every single major advance I’ve had came about precisely as you described. Show up, work hard, opportunities present themselves and the guys in charge would rather promote somebody who is a known quantity.
Along the way I’ve had to learn bookkeeping, accounting, finance, negotiating, basic legal concepts, project coordination, concrete repair, commercial plumbing and electric. Wouldn’t trade my OJT for a Harvard degree, because the best part has been the friends I’ve made along the way.
