Cammmmmmpell is a llllooooooooonnnnnn.
And quite telling...his statement that he's "entitled" to anything. Generally people who feel they're entitled to one thing feel they're entitled to pretty much everything. It's a loser's mantra.
Loser................LOL!
Began as paper boy in 1944...I was nine years old. Pay $3.60 per week
Began to mow lawns in 1946. I was eleven years old. Averaged $20 per week during summers
Continued both papers and mowing and began to buy my own clothes when I was fourteen
went in debt for my first car before I was able to legally drive it
Began working at a full service garage when I was barely sixteen
Worked 40 hrs junior and senior year HS and 60 hours during summers...$0.60 per hour
Hired at a Uranium processing plant in 1952...rotating shift...Pay $1.71 per hour
Worked five years and was drafted into the army infantry Pay...$73 per month
Returned in 1959 and continued my job as process operator pay $3.10 per hour
The company gave me seniority credit for the time I was in the army, continued in national guards
I play keyboards and piano so I was drawing checks from three places when my kids were young. My regular job, the national guards and playing when I could with small bands and combos. Discharged from guards in 1964 as a tank commander on an M-48 Medium Patton Tank
Was laid off because of seniority in February 1961 but relocated to the data processing center where they were installing a new $2.5 million main frame computer. Continued to work rotating shift work. Took a $200 a month cut...about 30%.
Worked about 18 months, learned to program in C T and Fortran 1 and made shift supervisor. With overtime about $700 a month.
In 1968 was set up to computer operations supervisor over three shifts and 40 employees. Pay...approximately $800 a month but worked straight days and no overtime
Our center had $66 million of computing and telecommunications equipment installed on 18,000 sq. ft. of floating floor. Our power bill to TVA was over half a million dollars per year and the center required over 400 tons of refrigeration. We installed Oak Ridge's first super computer...the Cray XMP 2/4. We later upgraded to a 4.
25 years later I retired after 41 years with the same company. Good pension and at age 62 began to draw social security...about $48,000 per year total. My wife has a similar career path and between the two of us and her part time job we make about $75,000 per year.
We both have a high school education but I did complete an electronics school which lasted about two and a half years in the mid 1960's.
We have a 4br brick rancher with 220ft. lake frontage. I have a dock, well pump in the lake with six outlets for irrigation. I have a pontoon boat with a 115hp Evinrude engine and we hit the lake every once in a while for a little fishing etc.
Two of my three kids have masters degrees and the one who doesn't is a project director for the DOE earning six figures. We're all losers
