Indeed most of young guys get into it for money....
Most want it all now...who cares if I don't know nothing....
It's an interesting mix of operators now...old wise guys,in between ers like me,and a bunch of FNGs
We use to run our plant with 4 operators.....shut downs,start ups even if help wasn't available.
Now with 6 guys the young ones complain about being overworked on a busy maintanence day.
I'm almost to the point where I'm one of the old guys....5 years I will be
Attitudes of new guys is a whole lot different than older fellas
