I don't know where to even start, lol.



I will probably just stick it out here until I really can't take anymore...


Also, sorry for late replies, didn't get notifications.

Check out line crew work.
Yes, it's work. Dirty hot sweaty or cold wet frozen work.
Ive been at it for 30+ years and don't regret a thing.

Most want a CDL, or will train you to get one. Clean record, piss in a cup.

Start out in the teens hourly.
Apprentice lineman or equipment operator gets in the low 20s. (A year or so of experience).
1st class lineman bumps 30.
Foreman and up , money comes with experience.
City of SA. New Braunfels, San Marcos.
Bluebonnet co-op.
LCRA.
