re: How much are plant operators at the LNG plants making per hour?

Hey don’t reveal all our secrets. The OT is supposed to think we do 12 hours straight of back breaking work for pennies on the dollar.

It’s a career where you put in hours yes. I get 7 vacations per year and we go on multiple weeklong trips every year with some out the country. I am on track of retiring with just over 5MM in my mid 50s. I don’t get to see every one of my kids events but I get to see most. I have no problem when it comes to purchasing cars for wife and kids, house remodeling, or any large expenses. Yes I’d love to have a job that I could work 40 hours a week for $200k but I haven’t found it. The only ones here making 200k+ besides operators is probably our plant manager. You put in the work you reap the benefits.

Most operators in my unit hit $200k every year. There are a couple that get close to $250k but not very many. There are several of us that have hit over $1MM in retirement accounts before 40. Excellent 401k matching, health insurance, and vacation time. Most here retire somewhere by mid 50s. I’ve heard several of our engineers state they wished they would have gone the operator route. An unscheduled weekend day you earn over $1200 for the day. You have every other Friday-Sunday off. To answer the question I’m sure the LNG plant operators are earning in the mid to high $50 per hour
Where to send kids to school?
Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/24/25 at 6:30 pm
Looking at putting 3 kids in school options are narrowed down to Episcopal, Dunham, or Parkview. Looking for priority focus to be academics. Which would the OT recommend going with?

I saw the post about the LSU basketball budget and was thinking that would help the budget out

They gave him a 7 year contract he’s not going anywhere. I take that back. They gave Kelly a 10 year and that didn’t mean anything.
Can we just extend McMahon’s contract but just lower the pay?

Has any school ever kept a coach on but just lowered the next contract amount due to performance?
re: What is your golden rule for retirement?
Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/10/25 at 3:32 pm to sharkfhin
What do you do with all your time to fill your week? I don’t like being at work all week but if I have over a week off from work I do start running out of things to do around the house. I do plan to retire early but I also wonder what I will be doing to fill all that extra time I’ll have from not being at work.
re: How bad is the real estate market in BR?
Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/7/25 at 8:20 pm to TigerDL
Personally I like the garden district/bocage/hundred oaks general area. I find it easier to get around coming from that area and I feel like there is more history and originality in the older homes in that area. I think it’s a more convenient area to be in to access lsu, downtown, government st. businesses, Towne center area, and not a terrible to drive to things in south br. You are also within 3 golf courses city park, Webb and BR country club as well and tennis for Bocage racquet club. I do see the desire to be in college town area and highland road also. At the same time I think the rouzan and willows also have nice homes in it. That’s just my opinion and the market is priced as others opinions see fit based on demand. I understand the areas I mention are adjacent to high crime areas but it is obvious given home values that it doesn’t bother most people as there are homes there priced high. Crime generally stays within its own neighborhoods and most people from BR know that.

Well, probably 80% of BRPD do just that. They live in Ascension and Livingston Parish.
That’s probably true but how many BRPD are in the market for a 800k house and can afford private school? I’d say not many so they choose to buy a house they can afford outside of the parish for a better public school. My point was if you are spending 800k on a house and you work in BR then you are most likely buying a house in BR and sending your kid to private school so you don’t have to make that awful commute outside the parish everyday just to live in a better public school district suburb.

Y’all are talking about homes located in two completely different sides of town. Yea, you can find a capital heights house that is pushing $250/sqft or this house off highland at just at $200sqft. That alone shows there is definitely those out there that value the capital heights location more desirable and are willing to pay a premium for it. That doesn’t mean that OPs house off highland isn’t also a desirable house for someone who spends more time in south BR. CCL isn’t too far up highland from OP and there are plenty in that subdivision that find that location desirable on that side of town as their willingness to buy homes there.

How much per sq ft have other homes in your subdivision sold for in the past 3-6 months? Are you priced at what other homes have sold for? Like others said it appears to be a nice house and it is puzzling while it hasn’t sold

The crazy thing is, if you move that house to Prarieville it would have been sold. The schools sell houses.
But then you would have to live in Prairieville. No one buying that house is sending their kid to public school in BR unless it was a magnet school. No one is paying 800k for a house in Prairieville and have to commute to BR for work. Chances are they are spending 25k on tuition to send their kid to Dunham or Episcopal. I don’t think schooling is a concern for that budget

That’s a good deal where is this at? Might scoop it up as a rental

Not sure why yours hasn’t sold but I know several people who have bought and sold in BR in this price range and $1+ million over the past couple months with no problem. Several instances where the homes didn’t even hit the MLS. I don’t see anything that sticks out in your listing that draws any red flags. Have you had any offers at all? Your price per sq ft actually seems low to me based on other homes in BR that I know have sold in over 800k to over 1 million.
How come all of our business savvy people manage LSU sports but not BR or the state?
Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/4/25 at 9:48 am
It seems like if they can budget and raise funds for LSU sports at a high level and be successful they should be able to manage the city or even the state. Why aren’t these great minds running for mayor or governor?

He said in a presser the other day he doesn’t know how much he makes. How do you budget for a house like that? We should’ve gave him a low ball offer if he wasn’t even going to look at the numbers
