I’m an operator. I know you didn’t ask but another poster did, my commute is about 35 minutes each way. Never hit any traffic unless there’s an accident or something.

I did some construction management/scheduling work right out of college for about a year on a plant. Really glad I did, it really helped me understand the lingo on this board.

HVAC or Plumbing. At the moment, HVAC is a super hot trade. Learn the trade and open his own business.

In Rentals for industrial cooling, power generation, and power distribution. But can move off to commercial or even residential, however industrial pays more.

I'd like to know average commute times to the plants.

Mines is about 45 minutes 1 way. Pretty easy drive.

Retired after 40 years at the same refinery. Life is good.


+1000. Same here. I Just don’t understand those people who retire then “can’t stand retirement” so they go back to work. Retirement is glorious.
