Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wrote in his new book that his first job out of high school as an electrician's assistant and his working-class upbringing helped shape his work ethic.
says that his working-class parents and his first job after high school as an electrician’s assistant as shaping his governing style in his new book, "The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival" which was released last week.
"While it was common for rising college freshmen to spend their summer enjoying themselves on the beach and sleeping in until noon, I was up at the crack of dawn to start work just after 6 a.m., five days per week, as an electrician’s assistant," DeSantis wrote. "I made a mere six bucks an hour, but it felt great to receive a paycheck for a good day’s work.
DeSantis wrote that the job as an electrician’s assistant "was also my first encounter with the federal government’s regulatory Leviathan."
