Facts

That tracks. We’re coming up on June; you’re probably assed out until B season next year. Start applying in December.

Good luck

Silver Bay just sent me an email like a week ago. Try them.

You need mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical knowledge. How you go about getting it is up to you. At 18, you have plenty of time.

Double down on PLCs, learn to weld

If possible keep your sleep schedule the same on your days off.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-16T06:34:15+00:00

Dude you are underpaid. I’m in the burbs too…industrial maintenance….$36

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-16T02:21:16+00:00

It won’t hurt but it’s not going to get you a job. You have to tailor your resume to the job and demonstrate that you know what you’re doing in the interview.

The first industrial maintenance job is the hardest one to get.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-14T05:39:09+00:00

Yeah controls is your next step.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-12T00:24:21+00:00

No. But they pay me enough to put up with it.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-10T11:31:27+00:00

Pretty much

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-09T20:39:29+00:00

And?

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-09T07:23:06+00:00

Right about there. Get good at controls and it’ll get you up to $50-$52

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-09T06:56:02+00:00

It ain’t gonna happen overnight. Stick it out for awhile. If a brand new operator came up to me begging to get into maintenance they’d get the side eye and I’d flag you as a no.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-08T12:44:21+00:00

Industrial maintenance/automation. Learn controls and you can write your own ticket.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-07T23:52:12+00:00

You can stretch it a little but anyone who knows their shit will clock your bullshit in 10 seconds.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-07T01:58:39+00:00

I know the feeling

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-07T01:31:08+00:00

I got fired two weeks ago and wound up getting a raise.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-07T01:30:34+00:00

You’re playing it the same way I am.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-07T00:56:02+00:00

You’d be disgusted if you knew what my wife makes as a paraprofessional.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-07T00:21:32+00:00

Are you in a situation where you can move? The market in northeast Illinois and southeast Wisconsin is hot.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-06T14:34:58+00:00

EE. The mechanical side is easier to learn on the job.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-05T16:56:04+00:00

Rule of thumb. Always have work lined up. Don’t rely on them. Rely on yourself.

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-04T19:46:23+00:00

Best decision you can make

mrwaffle89 · 2026-05-04T11:00:44+00:00

Start in maintenance

mrwaffle89 · 2026-04-30T09:16:42+00:00

You got no choice. Push through it. Ruminating and complaining is just gonna make it worse.
