I dropped out of college in 1969 when there was a major labor shortage going on. Worked for Manpower doing mostly warehouse jobs driving a fork lift. I just had to turn up at 6.00 and pick the job I wanted that day. Loved those inventory jobs. I could do double shifts for a week and make a bunch of money, then take a week off to drink beer.I just found out that our inventory count at work tomorrow has been canceled and corporate is going to send some people in to do it for us so we can stay open tomorrow. No one here is really crazy about this.
I went through a union course to get qualified to drive a fork lift. Turned out to be the only formal qualification I ever got.
