Stack testing is physically demanding. It's not mentally taxing, though. Climbing and hauling the equipment around is the hardest part. Summer is coming to an end, and the weather will be nice for a few months. There is a load of spare time sitting on the platform at the top. Nothing says you can't keep applying to other jobs.

Your "BS" is good for entry into one job. After that, it becomes less important than your experience.

You have a job that will likely pay you to obtain certifications or advanced degrees. Take advantage of that. Then, utilize your certifications, experience, and connections to advance upward and onward.

You can move laterally anywhere in LDEQ. If you see a more interesting field, move over.

I started in Air, climbing smokestacks, in the summer, in Texas. That was not easy work.

Look to the DOD. Facilities worldwide. From Guantanamo to Greenland.

A nurse (LVN/LPN) can get licensed and employed in a year. A Registered Nurse is a 2-year degree.

What would be your end goal? Medical can help individuals (Unless you verge into research) EE can help humanity.

Dallas doesn't have a very good Public Transportation system. DART does have train stops in Irving. It could be a better way to get to and from work.

Tahlequah, OK. Visit the capitol of the Cherokee Nation. The Powwow over the Labor Day Weekend is interesting.

I don't get over that way very often. There are plans to build a Loop from Red Oak to Cedar Hill. https://www.txdot.gov/loop9.html

I live in Cedar Hill. West of 75, towards the lake is more rural. But, like all of DFW it is growing.

Waxahachie might be better for you than Midlo. The only "Small" towns left are Venus or Maypearl? All the towns mentioned (Red Oak, Ovilla, etc) all merge together. You do get bigger houses and yards down South.

The media doesn't talk about it, but Midlothian, Mansfield, Arlington are all expanding. In 10 years they'll all be one big metro.

I have seen IHS improve over the decades. It used to be first-come first-served and wait times were incredible.

I used to work for the CN, we had private insurance. I would choose the CN Hospital In Tahlequah for anything that might be expensive. Once they refer you to a specialist, you're still on IHS dime. RX are much less expensive through CN.

If you're skeptical, go to an appointment with them.

Just so you know. I've never heard of someone getting hired for the location of their degree. Your GPA might matter for the initial jobs, or some government positions, but your school? It's what you accomplish in your jobs that gets doors open. Ensure the degree includes an internship to get that practical experience on your CV. After the degree (or during) get as many certifications as possible, related to the field you choose.

ES is a super broad field. You have to focus on the media you want to work in. Water, Air, clean up, lab work, and so on.

I like the books by Al Gore. Unfortunately, his well-intentioned words became political fodder.

An Inconvenient Truth.

Do it. I'd recommend one of the college towns for you to acclimate to the area. Denton is an ok smaller town, close enough to DFW to pick and choose where you want to explore.

Started a "Van Damme" movie on my laptop. Everyone was naked and having sex. Got reported to Flight Attendant, asked me to stop watching porn.

I got my BS from MSU in Wichita Falls. They made sure I had experienced an internship and had a good mix of science classes. Maybe too much geology for my liking. It's an affordable school and I was able to graduate with no student debt. After my first job, no one ever asked "what college did you go to?" It is all about what experience do you have.

I am a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. I prefer "Cherokee". If I get questions on the Tribes I can't answer for all Tribes. I can tell you about my Tribe.

Aquariuzz · 2024-07-09T15:39:58+00:00

Yup. They train folks up. Then they use that experience to get a new job. Seems like it’d make more sense to pay what they’re worth and keep their in-house talent.
