This is the problem with people today. The Americans don't want a measley $10/hr, but the mehicans would line up for that work.

Actually, thanks for this. I'm calling my buddy in BR who just got laid off from his pipe-fitting job.

sit at home for 0 or work for 10? No brainer there. If I did not have a job I would give it a shot until I found something.

I'd be interested in the experience alone as a safety professional.

I am going to head over to their Kemah office and check it out. Sounds like a pretty good summer gig for a college student.

ETA: I went over to the "Main Office", looks like a two man show. They may or may not have a contract as we speak from what it sounded like. He has an office room rented in a bldg over by the Kemah marina.

Breakdown: 2 dudes, 2 computers, 2 desks, 1 fax machine, 1 water dispenser. Who knows what to expect from this?
