I went to a new job in an auto body shop. The boss asked me if i could do arc welding. I had done some, so he showed me an old Jeep Wagoneer and said he wanted to fit a snow plow onto it. Only trouble--it was a plow off a little Jeep and the wagon was much larger! But, i got to work. I had to cut the thing into 4 pieces, then had to make splices to lengthen and widen the frame-work. Then i had to tack weld it while it was bolted on, then remove it all and weld it solid, so it would be good to use. Fortunately, old Charlie Koegler happened by that evening, saw how i had it all tacked together, so he finished it. He was a retired welder, and knew much more han me!] I guess i made a good impression, as i stayed there for about 8 years.
After i got out of Army, they had the "On-the-job-training" thing for Veterans, so i signed up for it, to learn the auto body trade. All i ever learned at that place was how to sweep floors, and polish the boss's Cadillac every morning. The owner got the money and i got the shaft, but i did learn something there, too. And went on to make my living at auto work. So--stick with it! When they find out that you want to learn, and can follow orders, and do the work,--things will improve!
