The Menial Jobs You Went Through

And? What's stopping you now? Ray Kroc of McDonalds fame didn't make his break until 54. The Zagats were in their 40s when the Zagat guide took off. Harland Sanders (Mr KFC) didn't sell his first KFC franchise until 65.

Set a goal, even if minor, and go to it. You'll make it.

Yeah I have heard stories like that which does put it into better perspective just society likes to make you look bad for "oh first job at 29 lolsobehind" . But I agree small moves are ok it can be hard to plan for real long term. So many in recent times thought they had a real plan and did the right things only for the economy to change.

When I was apprenticed as proces operator my very first task was to sweep the floors.

Then I had to help a smith carry his tools around and push his heavy as fuck wheelbarrow filled with tools around.
And if he needed a special tool while working somewhere I had to go to the maintnance building and get it for him.
Super embarassing because I did not know what a spanner was or a ratchet and had to ask others what it actually was for a tool he wanted me to get.

Start from the bottim, woork your way up

Corporate bankruptcy is different than personal bankruptcy

With that mind set, it sure will be.

getting someone else's coffee is far more demeaning than cleaning a toilet.

Yeah I can totally see that being embarrassing I've in a way felt that before with helping someone with tools related stuff.
Hmm , how so? Curious.

Dishwashing for a year not terrible but recently quit. Hope to get a job at my school although I'm not in the Coop program (one of the best in the world) which really sucks

I'm currently working part time in a warehouse, while doing a little post-grad to get a CPA.

I consider it the cheapest gym I've ever joined, and way more motivating.

Yeah that's one thing good that might come out of me working in something similar though right now the tasks don't really involve heavy lifting , if any it would probably be light. I aint really strong myself.
