This is Louisiana across the board, not just in operator jobs. It's why so many bright people leave. Not because they don't want to stay, but because their careers probably won't go anywhere no matter how smart they are or how hard they work.
If you want a career in process technology and you don't have connects, your best bet is to go to San Jacinto, Lone Star, HCC, or one of the private trade schools and look for jobs near Houston.

It's the contractors fault, it's always them.

As far as Sowela goes, it’s prolly best program in the state but for every operator position there will be dozens applying and with the Westlake layoffs, many have experience
All of this. Sowela is pumping out more and more PTech degrees every year and there’s only so many operator positions in the LC area. You better have some experience or something to set yourself apart. I’ve seen people post on FB about being graduated a year or more with the degree and can’t get an operator job.
