Hey bros, after being in the paper industry for 20 years and now being in the automotive sales for almost 2. It appears to me the shit is getting worse. Just wanted to know what it's like in your part of the country and are you in sales or what. Just curious
Recession; are you better off now than last year

Not wanting to speak too soon but I'm in the final stages of getting a new job which will almost double my current salary. It's away from offshore, land based in Nigeria teaching first aid and emergency first response, kind of my ideal job with a top day rate to boot. Not sure the rotation but it's looking like 4 weeks on/off. Should provide a better standard of living for me & my wife.Comment

Financial-wise not as good, but OVERALL-wise 1 million percent better haha! To elaborate, the factory I worked in for 23 years closed down at the end of '08. However, due to a clause in the contract, my time there combined with my age qualified me to begin recieving my pension immediately....I was the youngest there to qualify at 45 y.o. Sooooo, my income is much less but I don't have to do dick now!lol Not to mention I hated that job...saying I have much more peace of mind is an understatement. The clause also lets me keep health insurance for a small price. I was blessed indeed.Comment
