Indeed!  LOL!

Dad didn't want to move to Indiana with the job.  I was 12, my sister was 8.  We had a stay at home mom.  All our immediate family was within 10 miles of home.

He took odd jobs, found a full time with our church...and got fired with 18 months of earning a pension because we got a new priest who decided to "save money".  Dad offered to work for half or free just to get the time in and was rejected.  That ended up being a blessing in disguise because his next part time job turned into a full time job he had from the late 80's until just this past January when he retired at 74 years old.

Hard work will get you places.  Greedy businesses make it hard though.

Edit: Long before he lost that first job I strongly remember going shopping with him and he ran into a coworker who asked if I was going to work there too someday. Dad said "No way. He's a paper pusher." and he was right! LOL! It took awhile to get there, but it's pretty much what I do now. I worked hard at various jobs from flipping burgers to moving furniture to lots of other stuff in between and around though.
