I drive so Wifey can have a good time, her company makes money out the ass. If they don’t make 40% off a job, they call it a bad job. They pay people right out of college 90,000, starting engineers 120,000.

Most managers are ex military, Wifey about the only exception. I’m about the only uneducated person there.

Nah, hanco. You’re just educated in things those folks have to hire you to do.
