ExiledInIllinois Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hey westerndecline... They have a lock in Seattle... Strong Northern union wages... It's Corps operated... And one of the busiest in country (if boredom and solitude get to you... But unlike lock tenders, lighthouse ops of yore... We got internet!) Look into them... Being a Coastie will help... The Chittenden (Ballard) Locks... Even have a fish ladder for the fish to get past lock. Pretty cool! 13 minutes ago, Gugny said: You can live like a king making $50K? Gotta hit Deplorable Central, Hinterlands... Won't cut it for the Coastal Elites. He's already getting a military pension. Helps too if wife or significant other is making 6 figures too. That's icing on cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) The jobs I am suggesting for westerndecline are wage grade jobs NOT GS jobs. They are hourly and set by local industry in the area you are. Local wages, blue collar work. This area is set with jobs in Chicago... Like Ford... Or Quad Cities, Peoria... Like Cat (Peoria) or John Deere (Moline). I did get in years ago when wages were high in those areas. COLAs make it go up even with years of pay freezes under Obama. Obama=why most at my work hate him. Saw years of no COLAs or very little. Again... Look Wage Grade, not GS. westerndecline, it sounds like you are more blue collar, trades...

Big dollars Why not just hook up with the US gov't... Get deployed after probation... Make x3 your pay... Get fed pension, healthcare, bennies, etc... Embed with the actual military... Not just a contractor. Edited December 19, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work smart, not hard. I am still a Democrat, not a bunchy whiny deplorable Republicans I work with that hate Obama. Trump has been the best for us! My TSP (401k) went up 80 grand in a year... I'd still vote Dem though... I got no hard feelings. Left BFLo with 80 bucks in pocket... Raised a family 500 miles from closest family... Never needed daycare and both my wife and I work. Shift work is great for something! People want it all now... And right away! Edited December 19, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
