Comment a story about how life has taught you a life lesson the hard way.

I'm currently in the process of learning one about taking the job that absolutely no one else wanted. I took a supervisor/team leader position at my current plant. None of the more senior guys wanted the job(I haven't even been at the plant 3 months when job was offered to me). I always figured it was because the older guys didn't want to take on the stress of the job. As I've found out, it's a combination of not wanting the added stress, and not being able to tell a substantial difference on the weekly pay check despite the raise because of the new wages putting you into a higher tax bracket. Sucks but it's a good opportunity for a 24 year old to get valuable experience and another good looking job on the ole résumé.
