[QUOTE="XxJamesAxX, post: 226325, member: 4808"] My grandmother broke her back daily working for a cleaning company until she was about 45 years old. Reading the paper one day she read an advertisement a local dental lab had in the newspaper. Something inside her told her to go apply and she got the job. Turns out the owner of the lab was well known for taking people that had for lack of better words very low class jobs and giving them a opportunity. She worked very hard for him for many years and after he passed away a new owner came in and made her manager over the lab. At 16 years old I was rebellious and walked my own path. Didn't want to listen to anyone that told me I "had" to do anything. I dropped out of high school and started working construction pouring concrete. A few months later my grandmother not wanting me to end up in a back breaking career much the same as she did for most of hers offered me the opportunity to come work at the lab she managed. I agreed and the rest is history... I consumed myself in the field and learned all aspects of removables (reasonably well anyways) and even a little bit of management. I was 21 when she decided to retire and instead of staying there and being the manager over the removable dept. me and one other tech decided to leave and start our own lab. We opened 2 months before I turned 21 and I turn 31 this month... Also about 2 years after opening my grandmother approached me saying she was bored and wanted to know if she could help out a few days a week.... She's still with us and pretty much comes and goes as she wants. Everyone knows she's the real boss in the lab because without her none of us would be where we are today... To sum it all up and answer your question in one word....... Mamaw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
