My job experience? I attended a vocational school and studied printing for 4 years. After graduating I took a year off and worked for a small printer then enrolled in college. I earned a BS degree and while attending school I worked 2 part time jobs to pay for my tuition…..no help from family as my dad passed suddenly at 48 years old when I was 13 and mom didn’t work because I had 5 younger brothers and sisters and moms stayed home in 1969. We lived on welfare food and help from our extended family. Mom had to go to work and learn to drive while we all took on the home things.
After college I took another job as an assistant pressroom super at a local printer eventually assuming the supers position for 5 years. I left that job to accept a in -plant print manager position for a large manufacturer. I managed 15 employees for 20 years. During this time my brother and sil purchased a 75 employee web printing company. They had perused me for 5 years to come to work as the VP but i got along very well with my brother and I didn’t want to jeopardize our relationship being an employee. As my current job had hit its course and after much prying and my brother wanting his company to be ISO Certified I accepted his offer. 2 years later we, including myself purchased the 5 acre property and 60,000 sq ft facility. I spent 18 years working for my family business and it worked out incredibly well. We sold the business 6 years ago and the real estate 4 years ago. I retired 6 years ago.
Nothing was handed to me asshole.
What’s your story?
