What companies have you been talking to?
Are you looking for a job on the road or are you looking to be a house mouse?
Guys, they just said they would find me employment. I would like to go on the road or anywhere I can work at least 60hr/wk. Have known of anyone completing their program and their success? I'm making 30k before taxes so its been really rough here lately.
Not sure who you are, but my graduates that get hired usually keep in contact with me so I can help them with employment.
The way I interpret Iguana's post is that he is making about 15.00 an hour. (30K/2000hrs). If you take that 15.00 over 60 hour weeks, he needs to make about 50-55K a year. Since DOE mostly works 40 hour weeks, you are looking at having to make in the neighborhood of 25.00 per hour. As a new junior, I don't see that happening. Working commercial outages as a new junior won't get you close to what you need. The only two possibilities I see are 1. obtain a house job at a two unit site (overtime possibilities) or 2. work with Bartlett to do commercial during the season's and back to DOE in the off season's. They started that program a while back and may still be doing it. Give them a call, the worst they can do is say no.
