The only thing I will say is that there are alot of companies that source labor overseas... the difference with Nike is the extremely high standards we have regarding how the workers are treated as well as the average pay of the workers is higher than most :shrug:

I've never had a job for more than a year, my resume includes:

Dairy farm labour hand
Apiary worker (3 businesses)
Concrete worker (1.5x)
Hog barn washer (6 years)
Masonry labourer

This summer I'm going back to masonry, only for the pay. The job is killer. I once calculated that I moved 6000 lbs of stone in a day. Often to 8' over my head. Thats just the stone, nevermind the mortar...

I also just finished my first year of Engineering with intent on a Mechanical degree. Nowadays, I'm not sure if it will suit me though...

I also have 4 mx-3's. One to go to the scrapper/parts car. one to drive, and two to sell, and make some cash on.

With a degree in Mech. Eng. you can do anything. The applications of the knowledge you will gain are literally endless. Any company in the world will hire a MechEng grad with good marks and a good attitude simply because you have proven that you can learn basically the hardest thing there is to learn. Maybe 10% of the population is even capable of earning that degree. You will be glad you did. Don't give up.

Pcli. My son's joining to be a Combat Engineer and I have no idea why.

I've been a lab guy analyising oil samples, doing NDT using liquid penatrant, MPI, ultrasonics and eddy current to check for defects in materials, course instructor, ground safety officer, been on a ship with helicopters and now retiring in Nov. :) I've also done some home reno stuff, furniture building for friends and I'm tech support for anyone who knows me and wants their computer fixed for free :(.

I worked for DND (Department of National Defence). I worked at the Royal Military College of Canada (similar to West Point in US) at the Massey Library cataloguing books..getting them prepared to be put on the shelves for people to take out...

I retired on April 24th, 2009 after a little more than 35 years...just recently I have been retired for a year..woo hoo! It has gone fast and I love it! :mrgreen:

On June 20th I am heading out to Canmore, Alberta and hoping to move there. I have rented a duplex for about 34 days to give me time to see if this is the place....so exciting!
