Look, I am just fine with my pay. I have worked for more but at a job I did not care as much for, but I think I am being paid fairly for my work. That is all I need for now. I wouldn’t oppose a better paying job in the future but I am not in dire need. I am sure I could negotiate a raise when...- Matthew Dudley

I also thought this may be an efficient way to limit tools from disappearing or being out of convenient reach. If I do end up running my own shop, I...- Matthew Dudley

Advice wanted for an apprentice beginning his tool collection
I am currently an apprentice with Williams Industries in Monroe, GA. Most of our measurements are standard and we convert the metric. My plan is to have a box per machine type so that I can just roll my box to the machine that I am operating and not have to gather the tools for each job. I may...- Matthew Dudley
