In 2003 I learned to drive in a 1986 Hyundai Pony. The breaking point was when I got a stop sign on a slight incline and my dad had to get out while I floored it so the car could get moving again.
I’m going back for a degree. I’ll be over 40 when I graduate. I found that a lack of formal education was a filter for a lot of positions.
I wrecked my back a few years ago, and that made going back into heavy equipment or high access positions pretty dangerous. So I started looking outside my field and what I found was basically any bachelor’s degree open doors.
I’m just mad as hell at how many things seem to have topped out in the 1940’s. My car is basically the same. Five wheels and I chase an explosion around. Air travel is basically the same. Big aluminum tube that’s expensive size as hell. TV is basically the same. Tune in, sit on ass, watch.
You look at how life changed between 1900-1945, and how life changed since then, and we’ve really stagnated.
That’s not to say it’s all the same, phones are amazing, but they don’t change my life fundamentally, a day without my phone is very much the same as a day with my phone.
What the company profits from my labor, less expenses.
I make $19.40 as a solo arena attendant. We charge $130 minimum for an hour of ice time up to $250.
I’m not privvy to what the lights/ refrigeration system cost to run per hour, but I’m sure it’s not the total difference.
