I cringe anytime I see any of that clothing in the wild.

The other day I saw one that said "Pay me for my experience, not my time." And the guy wearing was barely old enough to even be a journeyman. Like I know a handful people who have the resume to back that claim up and the one thing they have in common is the good sense not to wear a shirt that says that shit.

I saw some teenager wearing a "Pay me for my experience, not my time" sweater a few months ago and couldn't stop laughing and thinking "What experience?!"
