I wanted to be a police officer when I was a kid, ironically enough I went the complete opposite direction.
Aside from that mess which is disappearing into the past I chose Industrial Offset Printing as a career. I now have a total of 6 years experience between my previous place of employment and current, and counting.........my goal is to achieve a very near future promotion and hold steady as an Assistant Press Operator.
I'm happy doing what I'm currently doing I am just a go getter, plain and simple. I know I can successfully and effectively take the next step and I refuse to settle for less. Not to mention the extra 15K per year will compensate for my 2.5 hour round trip.
Regardless of place which can change dependent upon circumstances, Offset printing is where I will spend my working years. I put in 5 years at my previous place of employement, was terminated due to tardiness and granted unemployment, drew maximum UC benefits for 16 months while I searched for a job pertaining to what I wanted to do, found that sucker finally............
Now I get gift cards for perfect attendance and have called off once due to a huge snow storm, nothing to stop me now.
I am a very firm believer of the little saying that, "everything happens for a reason."
