both my parents worked labor jobs all their life.
My dad left school after Grade 8 as money was needed for the family.
My mom finished high school and both of them worked in the fish plant for most of their lives. Mom upgraded and got into the quality side of the business before she passed from cancer at age 42.
Dad worked labor jobs until the facility shut down and is now retired.
Their goal in life was that neither me or my brother have to do the same kind of work they did while growing up.
They did pretty good I think as both of us are well established in our professional careers.
