It's his first "real" job, and he's rocking it. Makes me proud. Of course, his first comment when he saw it was "what the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is $16 bucks taken out for?" (Taxes) Makes my libertarian heart swell with pride

Base pay for him is $12/hr out in the field, and 7.25/hr on the drive there and back and during lightning stoppage. The bus stops at 2 other towns and they ride about an hour away.
