You'll work with some interesting people. My associates for 2 summers included an ex-con (armed robbery), heroin addict (operated the heavy machinery), and an illiterate alcoholic 42 year old (had his first kid at age 11). Opened my sheltered eyes to the real world, a real motivator. My friends and I actually had a lot of fun working with these guys. |
lol. my first job was a construction clean up boy. the ppl i met were local business men and intellectual property lawyers that managed this project as a side business, raking in more than their daytime jobs.
