    I really don't like that area down there for employment. It seems to me that there must be a lot of folks down there who are willing to work for not much money.

    I would think that a temp agency might be worth looking into.

    I signed up with Express Personnel back in about 2004. They got me a temp to permanent job with an oilfield chemical company over in Calallen-Robstown. I'm still in that same business, but am up in Victoria making about 22k more per year than I was making down there. That is a switch not only in location, but in employer.

    I'm finally going to say something. I have noticed that on this forum, you will consistently put a $ sign after a number. I hope you don't do that when you produce your resume or apply for emploment. You don't want 22$ per hour. You want $22.

    That water suggestion is interesting. I occasionally train with a local group up here. One of the instructors works water for GE. I think he may work some sort of desalinization project.

    I think it's an argument against evolution. If we eveolved from something, we should be able to drink salt water by now.

    In any case, good luck.

    If you would be open to moving a bit, I could check to see if we need more cable guys for my company. They get paid an hourly rate so not sure what you are looking for but they basically run ethernet cable and audio/video cables for installations.

    Would he have to change his name to Larry?

    Yep, craigslist is pretty good. But don't limit yourself to just one avenue.

    Surveying is usually always hiring; a company doing lots of construction-type projects might make you competitive. Sorry to hear, and good luck.
