I have no idea Kyle.

I can stay with my company and continue going to school to get a Project Management degree and become a PM for my company but with the economy the way it is I wont be making the kind of money I was for atleast 4ish years.

I can go to New Orleans and just about double my pay for a 2 year job doing what I do now but no time for school.

I can go work with my dad and make triple my current pay but it only lasts for 6 months then after that who knows where or when the next job will be.

Or I can continue working for my company and go to EMT school so I can become a fireman.

I really like construction and my company, buuutt the construction industry is so up and down Im nervous about having to move due to the economy. Once Im settled and start the whole family thing, I do not want to have to move at all.

So, I have no idea what Im going to end up doing. Just trying to get my ducks in a row. My roomate and I are looking at a couple different job options, I kinda want to go out of state to do something just have no idea what.

Im bored and looking for a change, did I mention my attention span is short?

I dont know, hadnt really thought about price too much. Just wanted to see who all could do it first of all. Now that I know, if it comes down to me needing someone to do it I have some options.

Don't sweet the economy, there not gonna stop building crap, and they sure as hell aren't gonna have less safety inspection stuff! lol. If your good at what you do and people know it, then you'll always have a job.

Still waiting to find out whats going to happen with the job stuff. Found out today they may be sending me back to my highway project(not really excited about that) which will be good money again and I wont have to hurry to get the truck back together. But who the hell knows, **** changes daily. I wish people who know what they're doing lived closer, Id throw a nice party in exchange for some labor. With a couple extra hands that know what they're doing I could have it running in a day, but i'm retarted and all i's gots is James

Up here they start at 4 and in 3 years make 6, and with all your certifications can make 12. Thats enough for me, especially when the GF will be making 100K+ in two years when she graduates with her masters

The retirement plan is nice too, 20 years and Im out.
