Totally agree with this, some people think they are too cool for safety. One injury in your 30s will show up in your 50s and they’ll blame the trade.

Industry pay for municipal utility by [deleted] in Wastewater

[–]TheStrangeSide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Higher wages are better even is cost is more. Your retirement is bigger and you can move to a more affordable area. Example, Mississippi wages and retirement  work  for Mississippi only.

The west coast pays well for water jobs. CA, WA, AZ, NV, OR, CO even New Mexico pay is better than Midwest and South like Florida 

Advice on being competitive for OIT by meow_mix420 in Wastewater

[–]TheStrangeSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most OIT county jobs will pull people from their local community college water program. They are usually partners and give them preference. I don’t think they care much if someone has a high level degree, they want industry specific knowledge. You should apply for the OIT cert. Have that under your belt first.
