[riderseventy7]

Apprentice electrician.

I took a significant pay cut when taking this new job, but having nights off and weekends to ride have really made me so much more damn happy. And also because I'm learning things I can actually apply in my house. Love it.



To the younguns mentioned earlier re: Mum and Dad paying. You may have paid for the bike, but who pays the bills, for the food, for the clothes, for the roof over your head etc. Sure makes affording stuff easier.
Good on you for getting into the workforce and doing shit for yourselves, real big ups there. Also well done on setting and achieving the goal of getting your bike. Don't be afraid to try a few different jobs in different fields while you are young to find waht you like. Don't do what I did and get stuck doing something you hate for 14 years.
