A mobile barber sounds like a good idea.

The shortage of qualified drivers is pretty frightening considering the only solution they have is to drop the requirements for attaining a CDL

They are all in Midland making 100k a year

It either wasn't local, or they've broken your role into ten other positions that pay the equivalent of what you made..Most banks just hire third parties to maintain everything but an internal switch now

Software developers. We struggle to find top talent
Customer service representatives. The company I work for can't hire enough people.
Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers. My customer can't hire truck drivers fast enough. Trouble is finding them
Computer user support specialists We have multiple positions open for this. Can't find the people.
Network and computer systems administrators. You wouldn't believe some of the clowns I talk to daily that are network admins. They are hiring anyone who can fog a mirror and start a PC

That is complete bull shite..

The starting pay for any SA or NE out of college at min in Louisiana is going to be 48-58. After 5 years they will be making 70k+ if you are making anywhere near 40k with experience as a NE in Louisiana you are getting fricked.
