Purplehaze Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hello SMD! I just wanted to take a min to thank Steve and everyone here who puts this site together. As we all know, the economy SUCKS, many people have lost their jobs, and the cost of living gets higher daily. I, like many others, got laid off several months back, and let me tell you, un-employment is just not enough! So for the past few months, I have been job hunting like a mofo! And finally my efforts have paid off. I start my new job tomorrow at Car Stuff Unlimited, the best shop in my area! And I have to be honest, had I not stumbled across this site, I probably never would have had the knowledge or confidence to even try to get a job there. The same day they called me, Dairy Queen called too, and I would have had to take the job. But instead of flipping burgers in a fast food joint, I get to work in an area I love and respect. So again, thanks to everyone! Tomorrow will be the beginning of something really good! I feel extremely blessed! Also, much more pics will be coming to the site now as well! Some really sweet rides come out of this shop, and you know I will share my experiences! So keep a look out, new pics coming soon! And again, THANK YOU SMD!

Yeah I wanted to do both jobs, but DQ needed someone for days and evenings, and I couldn't do days. But they may still call for me to work evenings, I'm down for as many hours as I can get! I had applied for some construction work. You can make decent money at it. But in my area most people in construction get laid off thru the winter, which I am trying to avoid.

hdorre Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Congrats man! I bet you're psyched. You've known a ton of shit, even before you came here I want to work at a CA shop when I'm in college. If you dont mind me asking- how much do you get paid? It may be a little personal for you...

Thank you, that was a very nice compliment! I may have forgot to mention, but the plan all along was to start back to school this fall. So this job will be perfect for me - work thru the day, classes in the evening! And that sounds like a really good idea for you too! And I don't mind, they are starting me at $9/hr, 40+ hrs a week, to do mostly tint and vinyl stuff. The pay would increase if/when I were to move up into fab. I am just pumped to get to work with some people I can learn so much from! Their top fab guy has 30+ years experience, and does some really nice work! This is the first job I have ever truly looked forward to starting!
