After working 6 years in 2 body shops (Garage/Carrosserie), I decided I wanted something else, so I looked and found a job in a bit older terminal that would hire me. I'm a hands on kind of person so I was very persuasive of this and got the job. I tried to learn everything as fast as I could on this job wich resulted that after 2 years they made me in "co-charge" of 25 people. After 4 years I got another job in a Petrochemical Liquid Bulk Storage Terminal where the pay was better and I still work there today.

As far as education goes, I started out doing 1&2 ASO and felt out of place there. I went straight into 3 BSO mechanics and later car mechanics. I didn't have to study for anything as it was easier to learn, not even throughout the years. I had a lot of free time in my teen years after school and until this very day I regret nothing.

Edit: Ik krijg voor elke shift, dag/nacht/weekend/ADV/Feestdag recup of ziektedagen 40% shiftpremie uitbetaald. De volledige rekensom: 38.31 euro x 12uur x 12dagen = 5516 euro voor gewerkte dagen. 38.31 euro x 12uur x 3 dagen = 1379 euro voor betaalde verlof(ADV/feestdagen recup) 38.31 euro x 1.5(overwerk aan 50%) x 12 uur x 1(1 dag overwerk gemiddeld per maand) = 689 euro (Op overwerk krijg ik nog een BV voordeel van ongeveer 150 euro netto per dag van 12u.) Totaal bruto 7585 euro
