30. Yes skills and an excellent work ethic.

Working in a beef packing plant is not at all like working at a grocery store or butcher. They are working side by side others handling knives making the same cuts over and over all damn shift long with line speeds that are ridiculous and grade changes. Go sit outside a processing plant at shift change and see who is working there. They work their asses off all day, every day.
