oh, little footnote...operators start off at about 50-60k a year... more than engineers, they start usually from 30-45 generally...that's why i originally went for that...but i like the engineering field better than process operator...but here's the funniest part...when it came time to look for a job it was right around the George Bush Oil War so everything pretty much dried up around here... so i got a job as a sales rep at billy navarre honda...we also have chevy and hyundai and will be getting cadillac and nissan soon....anyway, started there, i've been there for 7 months...im on pace to make about 60k my first year, and im getting ready to buy a house in a month so car mods are on hold...im a people person, i've managed teams and crews before...in a year or so i should be a finance manager (i heard that after my first month) and they start out at 60k base guaranteed salary...but with bonuses and commission most of them make 90-100k + a year....then it'll be off to sales manager...100+ easy :werd:
so have fun bein an engiNERD (and yeah u definatley got that word right)
