God my dad is a perfect example of the boomer mentality:
“You tell kids these days about a job opening and the first question they ask is ‘Do they drug test?’ Because they don’t want to give up smoking pot!” He said right before taking a rip on his bong and had a job that paid for a two bedroom house that never drug tested.
I'd still rather have that piece of paper because surprisingly enough, people quit spending money on repairs once they ran out of money. Some weeks I took home less than 300 bucks because work was slow and all I'd do is sit around the shop and bullshit or shoot the shit with neighboring businesses. Plus the whole 20-30 grand in tools that you'll end up needing to acquire over the years.
