I started in this industry with no more than a hand shake, welcome aboard, we will show you what you need to know. I did not go to college till my 20s and now I will be 36 this year and only took me 13 years to get my Bachlors degree and paid for by my own money that I made while working 40 hours aweek. I got my college degree for self improvement, thats it, plain and simple. Do I want to move up to a managers position, no not really as I have turned it down twice allready and I am not looking for a job else where. I actually find being a forklift mechanic easy and enjoy the people I meet and the company I work for is not that bad, being a blue collar work these days is a money maker for a company where a white shirt is more of an expense. I am actually using my business degree and knowledge for other people to make money using other venues outside the forklift industry and it has paid off handsomely these last few years for me and my family.
