A friend from high school got a two-year tech degree for auto mechanics. He went to work for a new car dealership out of school and had two new cars fall off the lifts so they fired him. He then got a job for Union Pacific Railroad driving the train as an Engineer. He then told everybody he was a Mechanical Engineer! During that time he was in the union making $80K a year with extreme plush hours and a zero stress job. They sleep on the train when it is moving! Then he slipped on the job one day, derailed the train, and tried to sue the railroad for $$$millions for his "bad back". While laid up from that job he would do tile work on the floors of his house and refinish the woodworkings. Some bad back I guess! It only hurt when he was outside the house. How strange... Maybe it was the sun. They fired him and paid him $10K, but he owed the lawyer $20K for the case.
Today he works as a Customer Service guy for a food distributor making $35K a year. Probably one of the stupidest Engineers I have met. Or was he an Engineer..... Oddly he still tries to get back on with the railroad every chance he can get. He can't figure out why they won't call him back.
