That seems like a high number. When I started in the program, there wasn't really a large number of people in it. A couple hundred, if that.
Now, there's A LOT.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. That number seems really high

Oh I ain't moving to Lake Chuck, but if we get the portion we are chasing it will be on cruise control around the office all summer.

At this point, I'll move wherever and do whatever

Well, I hear North Dakota pays well.

Opportunities in Baytown.

Wish I would have know this. We just hired a new plant manager last week after ours quit...

Anywhere in south LA. I'd kill myself in ND

what company?
Would prefer not to put that on here.

Yeah, you couldn't pay me enough to go up there. Meth runs rampant, I'm sure.
Consider Houston as well. There will be a few opportunities there too. I've applied a couple places out there.

Probably, it was just hearsay.

What can you tell me about it? What's a good place to live in the area?
Country club pointe apartments in south LC are 5 minutes away from a launch on big lake and 45 seconds from a boat launch on prien lake. Three bedroom house up for rent directly across from prien lake right now for $1,600/mo.
Bring a boat, and I will show you where to fish

I have a hard time believing that. I know that PTEC is getting popular, but not that popular.
The plants have just about made PTEC a necessity, if you have no plant experience. Hell, I have 10 years of pump/valve experience, but still couldn't get anywhere with that. PTEC made a huge difference in getting past the HR screening team and getting in front of people for interviews.
With that said, PTEC doesn't guarantee a damn thing. You have to interview well, and not be a screw up to get an Ops job. That prior sentence isn't always true, but for the most part it is.

?
It's a three bedroom house a few hundred yards from prein lake park and the boat launch, what do you expect?
