Recent job opportunities!

Alright, so its a nice thing to know that when I pray, my pray is actually answered! Yes, me, don't forget I'm Christian, okay? I'm at work on Sunday, actually, I'm working the table making freakin' McDonald sandwiches... I was irritated ALL day. I did'nt even want to work! I was suffering anxiety all day and was just whining to everyone about how I hate it there!

Then I just could'nt take it! I look down and I just ask God, "MAN! Can you please give me another opportunity at some better money?"

2 Days later, today, I'm having a problem to choose between 7 jobs! I guess thats what happens when you pray and not pray specifically, LOL!

Alright so the real deal is this, I have one that I could get in Seattle, Portland, Pullman, and my hometown. 3 in my city, actually!

My positions:
1. Glazing (Installing windows)
2. Painting
3. Heating and Air conditioning

LOL! Get this, I attended an apprenticeship program through my school for the painting. The head guy is through a union. I gave him my resume, showed up on time and was ready and was serious about it!

Now I find out, he comes to my school today when I was gone and was looking for me! I was at the dentist... So I call the guy up, meet him at his place and he has 6 options for a job! Union job! I get $12 starting out, benefits, blah blah blah, the whole 9 yards! I also get an extra $65 a day for my relocation cost to stay in a Motel until I get permanent relocation! He said in 3 years I can make $45+ an HOUR!!!

Anyways, then the heat and AC job I applied at before I went to that guys' place calls me up 2 hours later asking me to come into an interview tomorrow!

Okay... SO! I'm overwhelmed with the job offers, and I have NO idea what to do! LOL!

I was thinking about Portland. He said I would make the most money there, and I can have a permanent relocation! Plus, its nice and warm there, right?

Well, what do you guys think about all this? Anyone from Portland wanna tell me how it is down there? What about Seattle? Pullman would be temporary! I would help install windows on the new "Cub" building they are doing...

Looks like someone heard my prayer!

that first one sounds sweet! per diem until you are permanant and good pay. if i were you i would want to get that 45 dollar an hour deal in writing somehow. that really seems to good to be true, especially when they are starting you out at 12 an hour. but i would say go for it, i am sure that it is way better than mcdonalds. and unions are nice but you gotta watch out for the lay offs. i am not trying to get you down, hell it sounds like a kick ass deal, just want you to keep your eyes open.

like i said he works in mysterious ways congrats and good luck with whatever you decide.

Lol, I forgot to say...

I get $12 an hour because I would be apprentice. I get paid %55 less then that journeymans pay. So when I become a journeyman, I get the pay raise!

I'll be getting all of these in writing tomorrow, matter of fact!

My city and the region have been experiencing a HUGE boom in growth! So, everything has a window, so there I'am! Lol...

I'll have to let you guys know what job I take! I definitely wish I had more than a day to decide!

that is cool man. i also forgot where you are located. haha. 45 dollars an hour is a ton of money down here but in other areas it is hard to get by on, you know. i am glad things are working out for you. the wife and i have been struggling for years and we finally got out of major debt and bought a house, so i know how stoked you must be right now. congrats bro.

what is it you will be doing anyways? you said painter right? what will you be painting?

im glad to hear that man i used to work at mcDonalds too i hated it also, glad to hear you prayers were answered. I have been praying for a new job also i work as a dishwasher now for minium wage, but theres a new auto parts store coming to our town and i applied on the phone and they sent me a paper saying i was wanted for an interview today. oh i would go with the windows, i think air conditioning pays good too.

I was a glazier for like 8 years....pays good and is not the hardest job around.

the a/c business is good. my cousin had b een in the business for 5 years and he makes good money. now only if he could spend it on something important other than crapt hed have it made, sorta

I still think the bggest money in the trades has got to be in the elevator field....those guys can print their own money.

considering that an elivator sale is any where for 10g's to 25g's
Im looking at getting a job at the post office. I already got 2 years toward my retirement from being in the military Im going today to fill out a application and find out what my options are if I get the job hte first thing Im gonna do it get the new Toyota fullsize pickup or the ford f 350 and A nice trailer so I can tow my toys to shows and the mud hole
