When I got out of the Army in 1974 I started working as a shop sorter, which was sorting out the stuff the Union Electricians brought back from there jobs. I started at $1.25 a hour and was happy to get the job. A few days later they had me diging light standard holes by hand that were allmost 8 ft deep 4 ft square in hard pan. 3 to 4 days of this I got the 2 holes dug. I mention to the boss if I had to do this all the time I need a raise cause it was real hard work. He agreed and brought me up to $1.50 a hour and I was thrilled! Now I had a Wife and Baby I was also raising off this wage. Sure glad I stuck with it cause I ended up being a Journeyman Electrician 5 years later making a lot more money! PS I was doing illegal electrical work for this company at the $1.50 a hour pay since they were a Union Shop and got my experiance to be a electrician in the process! Mark H.
