Howdy James, Wow $10 per hour to start! I reckon I need to trade in my parts job for what you all are offering. I get paid a cool $8 per hour and most times do twice the work that the other parts guys do. I don"t intend this as a brag but I just finished our big fall combine parts order (25 palets worth) in 2 1/2 days. That includes checkin in a list of parts that looked like a telephone book, moving 700lb crates around, and stocking all those parts. Guys at the store are still shocked. I"m 23 and hard work doesn"t scare me, it makes me happy. There are a few of us out there yet but the numbers are dwindling. Especially if you"re like me and have folks who expect you to get a cushy job right off the bat just because you got a college degree. I am happy where I"m at but the folks aren"t so I get to trade in my parts job that I actually enjoy for some low paying degree-related job that will force me to move to some other state. Oh yeah, this whole cushy college degree job stuff is the life for me. If people would learn a little word called contentment they"d be a heck of a lot happier. Old Paul said in the Bible "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." That"s a tough row to hoe, especially when others don"t want you to be. God bless. --old fashioned farmer

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm.
