Just trying to figure out a few options for when I finish school in 6 weeks. CM Associates and Supply Chain Mgmt Bachelors. I know some people that could maybe get me in the door, so I'm just trying to see what others have to say about it.

You might want to check out the Sulphur area. Parts of south Lake Charles are nice too but too susceptible to hurricanes, IMO.

Either or. I know some guys with Turner and Sasol, and I know James is bidding on the civil.

Look for a place in south lake charles then or if you wanna party then downtown but not gonna be able to have a boat there.

If you are worried about traffic which could get bad at the peak then look into Westlake, maybe find something by the river. I live in wl by the river and will look around and see if I see anything.


Who you going to be working with?

I'd go for south LC, look for the Barbe school district. It's close to everything in town and Big Lake.

This. I've been working on this project for several months, this is a large enough project with a lot of money to be made. For Places to live, South lake Charles area around McNeese area is a good place to look.

How long is this job supposed to last? 5 years? 10 years?

3-4 years for the first phase I believe. If they do the GTL I can see it getting close to 10.

Axiall Corporation will has a permit application to the Army Corps to construct yet another world-scale ethane cracker. The proposed cracker is to be located between the Sasol project and I-210 bridge. Your work skills may permit you to extend your stay in the area.

Construction has started to allow a new access to I-210 for traffic coming from Southwest Lake Charles. This project will greatly diminish traffic on Lake Street and the Nelson Road/casino area.

Honestly, when this thing happens and OP is working at Sasol and lives in SLC, you're all setting him up in a clusterfrick when this thing hits it's peak.
