Let's see: The guy works 8 or 10 hrs a day and get a payment twice a month. SO it is a real job!
A "real job" 4 ya is just sitting in a f*cking office making $50/hour listenin your idiot boss? And tell your friends "oh im making 50 a hour" but deep inside you HATE your f*cking job and wanna kick it away... Ok if sounds good for you, have fun!
i'm not saying bike shops are awesome... i never said that!
i'm just saying "if you're feeling fully happy working in a bike shop that's the best way to go"!
i don't fell happy bout working in a bike shop, i didn't before and didn't like at all (working on 50 yrs old bikes isn't exciting for me)
What i'm saying is: Your JOB shouldn't be the most important thing in your life, shouldn't be on 1st place, never! Cause if you do that, before you die you'll get ALL regrets...
2nd: How dare you call me a "idiot"? Did i call you same way?
I've been polite till now, so YOU BETTER BE AS WELL.
But if you love working on bikes or in the bike industry and love going to work, then why not.
Personally, I'd pick the second one. And what's wrong with working in a bike shop & putting yourself through school, or just see where life takes you. As long as you are happy, always learning and not some coke headed ski & / or biker bum, who cares what you do for a living.
I know people from all walks of life, with all kinds of jobs, and it sure as hell isn't how much you make that makes them happy.
word!
You can do some price checking online, and they will email you a quote for just about anything. I especially like there "double-d deal" section where they often list clearance price items. I picked up a set of front/rear Avid juicy 7's c/w rotors, mounting brackets and hardware for $159.99 each set. Hard to beat that deal.
