Gear to get started

I have to agree with all here who reccommend the hard shell.
The only area that you might be able to cut back on in starting out is the shoes. The first couple of years that I worked, I wore a pair of black steel toed rubber soled work shoes I got at Sears for $45. Once I knew I was going to stick with this, I purchased a pair of Gerry Davis Patent Leather plate shoes, can't beat the protection, but those will run you $140.
