[QUOTE="5575, post: 399479, member: 410"] He's telling the truth. You'll be making about that at most of the gas plants, power plants and mines after 2-4 years if you want to work some ot and learn. Most I work with make at least 90k and those are the new 19-21 year old kids that just started. Majority of the operators that have been here 5+ years make 140-175k with overtime and still only work about half the year "hourly, not management". We had a big retirement group go out a couple years ago, average age was 55-58, and with the great benefit\retirement packages most walked away with millions. Not bad for a 1 year associates degree from BSC in the 80s.. The degree now takes two years, and we have a hard time getting young folks to apply its crazy. I had to live out of state for 9 years working at plants to get enough experience to apply in the 90s here at home and there were over 1,000 applicants fighting over maybe 20 jobs. Now we can barely get a handful of young folks with zero experience to apply even, must be allot of great paying jobs around I guess. [/QUOTE]
