I work for a public utility in So Cal. Work is booming.... now dont get me wrong, I was a certified Service Tech for a GM Dealership long ago, and found out in my younger years that flag time is a losing proposition....
Its nice to have a job that people depend on more and more.. electricity is always in high demand... and with summer fast approaching, I am already starting to see the double time kick in..
If you are looking for a job with decent pay, dont overlook local utilities... you may have to take 1 step back to take 2 forward....
