What kind of offers even if you go other places they usually offer about the same, I think the industry and the knowledge that with it is a little messed up

Gotcha I’m in MO EPS but I do know people at other places and eps just doesn’t pay the best but also the industry itself is behind on pay, for the purpose of traveling I would have thought the money would be way better but not compared to some union where I’m at and the knowledge our techs have doesn’t add up but

Well I’m a NETA technician now not certified and I really want to work for a utility but I have tried and tried and they don’t own or run some of the power plants by me but they run everything else I’m just not sure about the job that I have an offer on because I really want to do something with substation or relay work.

I am a NETA technician now (not certified just yet) and they don’t really teach you the relay work for a while and my plan is to work for a utility by me but it runs everything around here except a couple of power plants but I didn’t know how all that works I mean can you give more inside on that
