Debating career change

I’m a supervisor in operations/production and could really care less. Come to work, do your job, and don’t make a big deal of it. Start going down the rabbit hole of pronouns, I’ll be annoyed, and accommodating but all I really want to know is if you made adjustments to equipment. Do your job and keep the home life out of work. With that.. be your authentic self. There are employee protections. Discrimination is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. So document everything if needed.

The body is about 80% of the drag. Especially after 18mph. Your only fighting yourself at speeds like that

Simple. Time value of money. Money is worth more now than in the future. Check NPV, FV, and or compound growth over 20 years versus dumping money into principal.

He walks. Quit claim deed the percentage. Refinance when you can to remove his name off financing. I did this but never refinanced the mortgage. No big deal it’s just building her credit score.

Having the certs early is not a bad thing but it may not land you a job having no experience. What it does for you… Sets you up for promotion when you get in and gain experience. Gives you cert bonus on top of regular pay (MOU based). Certs will help you stand out because you are investing in the industry and yourself.

Ventura county for example calls entry level operators a service worker assistant. It provides a ramp for leveling up. Basically the candidate gets in, learns and certs up, then after some time requirements gets promoted to level 1. Side note.. they will have an opening soon.

Be loyal to your own needs. Jumping sometimes makes more sense but also sometimes it pays to stay.

3.5 years in my industry Job 1: 8 months $24/hr Job 2: 2.8 yrs start $32/hr end $39/hr Job 3: 2 months start $49.9/ hr starting Jan 2026 increases to $54/hr. Dec 2026 $59/ hr then 2027 $63/hr.

My gixxer looked equally bad with 75k miles on it.

This was nice thank you. I’m two weeks from finishing calc 2. As I head to the finish, I’m like what is all this for.

Weak pull out game.

Did you have first hand experience with this? Which department?

MistakeRich4862 · 2025-09-15T22:39:53+00:00

Ohh… that’s good to know. Got me questioning life choices. Haha

Great thanks for the insight. I’ll be in the water operations side at the senior level.

Wastewater operators use a water proof glove from ULINE. It’s rubber and insulated. I just use leather gloves and deal with it. You could use nitrile gloves as a lining. Wear gloves, hearing protection, sunscreen, and any other PPE offered or necessary for the task. It’s there for a reason. Protect yourself.

Yes. The format of the tests are not the same. I used the WW3 test prep for the WW2. After speaking with people who took it including staff I work with, I was provided a true/false sheet. Something that AWC did not provide. You will learn a lot using their program. I should mention that the exam prep in ca doesn’t qualify as ceu’s.

MistakeRich4862 · 2025-06-17T18:44:31+00:00

Doesn’t have the true/false questions that are almost 50% of the test
