I've been at the Exxon Refinery as a tracker for a few months now working for my dad in an office and my boss's boss has been so impressed with my work he is wanting to put me into a planner boot camp that the company I work for offers. Basically it is an 8 week program (8 hrs a day 5 days a week) that teaches you how to be a Refinery/Chemical Plant Planner.
I'm going to jump on this but this my inevitably interfere with my finishing college (going to college for Construction Management to become a planner anyways). Due to the nature of the boot camp training, you sign a paper saying: since we are training you and paying you to be trained, you have to travel where you are needed. One of my friends recently completed this boot camp and they sent him to a plant in Alabama and Texas where he was payed for his room/board/food/dry cleaning and $40 and hr on top of that. But since I will most likely be traveling I will have to put off school for a little bit but I want to get my degree. But at this point this is going to be my future and I think I will jump on the training and start making money.
My dad told me at my age (19) I will most likely be making $30 an hr., so I will take this time while I'm nice and young to get this experience and training and money! I think my system will be coming sooner than I think.
