I actually had it pretty darn easy. About 6 months after I dropped out of college I caught a union job with a company that was rapidly expanding. In 6 months I was not only considered skilled, I was a foreman. At more than 5x minimum wage. I bought a brand new car and had enough money to put half down on my first house in two years. When I left the owner of the company gave me a TWIMC letter of recommendation. The rest of the story is that CAN"T be duplicated today. Wages and prices have not kept up. Not even close. Top level union jobs in the area I was in are about 2x minimum wage today. Which is, once again, a lot of words to basically say "Yep, that's exactly right".

There is growing competition for receding jobs in increasingly skilled areas. It is not going to be pretty when there are bread lines, but the "economy is doing fine". In Finland, I don't think the President gets 5x minimum wage ;D Posted Using [LeoFinance <sup>Beta</sup>](https://leofinance.io/@tarazkp/re-bigtom13-6v4fvx)

I was in the right place at the right time. Today the CEO probably makes 100x minimum wage. At the minimum :)
