re: What do plant operators do? And how much do they really make?

---

Anywhere from a 2 year tech degree to a 4 year degree. Experience. Willingness to spend a few years in the weather turning valves and learning the operating unit inside and out. After that, willingness to sit long hours staring at a control board monitoring the process and adjusting as necessary. Willingness to stay in the middle of giant bomb with the knowledge and information required to prevent it from making a lot of light and noise and becoming a smoldering toxic crater when it decides that its sole ambition in this universe is to make a lot of light and noise and become a smoldering toxic crater.

Must have a good gumbo recipe and contractor mocking skills.
