redimsok, if you were to work 12 months out of the year, you might see between 75 and 100K, if you include perdiem. The commercial outages these days are all seasonal. Most techs are lucky to get 7 months of work per year. It’s OK if you’re single, but tuff, if you have a family. I myself, have been fortunate, been following the Steam Generator Replacement Projects for the last 10+ years as an Alara Tech, but I’m always on the road. You might want to look at taking a house job where you get decent pay, and benefits. Look into DOE, DOD jobs also, these usually are year around.
