Yeah considering the job is a very high risk job they dont make too much but at the same time its still a good chunk of change, at least here in MO it is for most people.

Where tom works, the painter makes amazing money and he is a very good painter. When you get into maaco and crap low end shops like that you wont be expecting any good pay checks.

Well for me if I just shoot down 94 to 40 its not too far maybe 20 minutes with traffic.

Yes there are a lot of jobs to get but the question is do the shops want a female working for them. I know of a couple shops that refuse to have female workers in the shop area.

Some of you know I go to Ranken for Auto Colision Repair, and the teachers and second semester voted me to paint the Ranken Promotion car, which is a Scion Xb, that was totled and and fixed up by the second semester. So im really stoked about that but I dont have much time to get it all done YIKES.

So if anyone is in St. Louis anytime soon im having a graduation party come on out!

You may think you're done with school, but it's just beginning, granted it won't be day in and day out school but you'll be in school for quite some time yet to come. Congrats and good luck.:bigok:
