You should have no problem getting one of these $24 an hour jobs. I will even bet that you will make more than $24. But if you want to make the real big money, look over seas. I have seen where people in your profession can make $100k a year over in Dubi, and the United Arab Emeraites. (forgive the spelling). They have the most money and a desperated for people of your abilities. The point I was tring to make was, you make more depending on where you live and work. Unions had a place at one time. But I think they hurt more (now) than they help.
Excuse me i have a college degree... I have a degree in Criminal Justice from Eastern Kentucky University.. I worked heavy construction to pay my way thru college and i love being outside and working outside... i would work for several months at a time so that when i was in school i didnt have to work but a part time job and for 2 or three semesters i worked construction full time and went to school of the evenings so i could be able to still get out and hunt and fish on the weekends and have the money to do it..... so yes i do have a college degree and no i dont want to go overseas and i am actually in the hiring process for a conservation officer so unless u have anything else to say bub i think this conversation about me is over with.....
