I hold stories and experience in high regard. So to elaborate on what I think wisdom is, I think back to my most recent job.
I worked with three other fellows for the S.S. Badger as auto-attendants. My co-workers will be known as Mr. H, Mr. D, and Mr. Y. All three of us are the same age, but that is where much of the similarities end. Mr. Y was a super intelligent person. He was class valedictorian, scored a 33 on his ACT, and was going to attend an honors college for physics. Mr. D was average. He liked any car that was manual, and was the only one of us who had worked this job before. Then there was Mr. H. His ACT was a 14, and was ranked lowest in his class.
This job requires the loading, unloading, and directing of cars on to the ferry. Cars can be packed so tight that a vehicle has 4 inches or less of clearance on all sides. It can be considered a stressful job. This is mainly because, you do not want to damage any vehicles. …show more content…
Mr. D had experience, but that did not help him. A new management system had been put in place, but Mr. D was still function on the old system. It was not long before the sailors were giving him so vary choice words.
Mr. Y had an even worse first day. While unloading the last car on board, he managed to cause more than 2000 dollars in damages. This was more money then we would get paid for the whole summer. He managed to do this by trying to take a turn that was impossible for the vehicle, and jammed it on a steel
