Started passing papers at 12 years of age and I haven't been unemployed since. Worked two jobs most of my life. Owned and operated an income tax preparation business and still working at Cat 39 and a half years. Will retire in 4 months to come to TV.
My father worked at Cat for 32 years and his dad worked there for 33 years and was there when Holt and Best combined to become Caterpillar. My father said to never quit a job until you have another job lined up. It was great advice.
