I worked at a farm equipment dealership from 1972-1984. I did everything from parts inventory once- to small engine repair(lots of lawn tractors and chainsaws) to set up and delivery work, to all kinds of mechanical/welding /electrical work. Except for the owner, I was the only one there who had a handle on where everything was in all departments. I definitely wanted into the business. The owner had other plans. I became very disillusioned. I turned down the offer of shop foreman. I walked away from a fully furnished company vehicle, full health benefits, paid vacation,etc. and started farming from scratch. And almost starved. Now 25 years later I doubt I could find anyone I'd like to trade places with. So be careful. Take advantage of all the education you can stand. I've never seen anyone who gets dirty working for someone else ever have much more than a job. Maybe it's different now. I don't mean to be discouraging, but want you to achieve your full potential, AND enjoy life. So, again, be careful, and proceed with your eyes wide open. Best of luck.
