Pick your sites wisely and to be a JR, these days is very hard, not only wage wise also trying to get your time in. But it's a lot better wage wise than it used to be. pbooth

It sucks to get started in RP unless you have a connection. Lately it seems like as long as you know an RPM or a supervisor somewhere you can start as a JR with absolutely no nuclear history. Then you can sit at a SOP with a chip on your shoulder like you are someone despite the fact you dont know anything. (seen too many of them lately.) If you want to be an RP, and you actually WANT to be good at your job, just take whatever JR jobs you can get. In my experience, if you work hard, show people you want to learn, do your job and keep your mouth shut, do the resume builder jobs, and have a good attitude, then work will come find you. In the last 3 years I have met and worked with way too many JRs that feel entitled because they know someone, yet they dont want to work or prove that they are worth much more than the chair they sit on at the SOP. Just my opinion. Work hard, ask questions, prove you want to learn, and have a good attitude and you will be fine. (with that being said, if you run into that SR who feels the need to treat you like a POS because they think they are still in high school and they are the senior and you are the freshman, well, feel free to tell them off)

Radiationman85, thanks for your comments. That's the information I was looking for on this thread. It would appear that my post last week got deleted in the shortening of this old thread by the moderator (kudos to you, tell Mike you deserve a raise!), which I think was done to bring the new data in against the old.
pbooth & nickscott13, while your opinions are valid they belong elsewhere. We need money numbers here and other stuff really does detract.

Radiationman85, again, thanks for your input. It would appear as though there are now duplicate threads running now!
