Reminds me of my first job in an auto machine shop. Being the new kid I got all the 'good' stuff that nobody wanted. I'd get a shopping cart full of sbc conn rods to do and if memory serves I was getting two bucks a piece (piece work). One things for sure though, I got good and FAST at doing them. The other job the noob's got was pinning cracks in cyl heads. We got paid by the inch or the pin, cant remember which but it was at the poverty level for us young punks. sorry, side rant over.
