Lol. Well as tempting as that may be for someone, I think I'll have to pass

I was going to suggest becoming a civilian contractor overseas in the Middle East. My father is over there making well of $100K per year and if you stay out of the country over 300 days or somewhere in that ballpark, the first $100K is untaxed.

He has been a union electrician for 40 years, but since the construction market tanked he was forced to find work over there. He works on a US military base in Afghanistan.

I know this thread is old but try local 399 if your still looking. The economy has effected all trades but from what I hear Stationary engineers the least.

ya i was looking into them but there isnt any info on the apprenticeship on their website and when i called i was pretty much told i have to find someone I know who works there and talk to them. Can you or anyone shine a little more light on this or tell me what to do.

 

[RenoReno2]

I go back to work sunday I'll ask the engineers there. I work for Dupage county I got hired into there and they are a 399 shop I didn't go through an apprenticeship.

He said you have to find someone to sponsor you is pretty much the only way in. He said 150 was the same way as well, and that he thought they were hiring. There was an ad in the paper not to long ago

thanks 150 is hiring or 399?

 

[RenoReno2]

He said 150 possably

 

[ajdereicup]

I'd try doing garbage. Not sure what the unions are. But they get paid damn good. They usually hire in the spring I heard as "temp help" and work you hard and if you do good you get to stay. Thats what I'm hoping to go for once I become old enough

IUOE Local 150 was taking applications for their program. Check their website or their apprenticeship website.

ASIP: Local 150

Waste Management was hiring drivers (union) but I don't know their salary. I know a couple of stationary engineers in Local 399 and you normally have to go through some sort of training or at least pass the state/local test for certification (unless you get sponsored) for a job. Have you considered getting your CDL to be a local truck driver. What about being a police officer?

check out railroads as well, i just finished my first year as a conductor and love it, should make over 50k this year too, and im only at 80% and work an on call schedule so i get paid even when i dont work

 

[1quick]

chemical plants pay well, I think you have to take classes now tho to get into it, just something else to look at

Which one you at?

 

[RenoReno2]

I use to apply to those all the time never ever got a call back and I use to build the motors, turbos, and assemble and wire high voltage cabinets at EMD for 10 years. Not that would make me qualified for it but I figure being comfortable around locomotives would at least warrant a call back even for a mechanic style position.

CSX in ottawa

If you are still looking I saw a posting at school today that the sprinkler fitters were hiring apprentices.

I think your talking about getting your Stationary Engineers Licence for Cook County. You need to have a former or current employers licensed Chief Engineer sponsor you.
