Anybody working in the vicinity of the DuPage county airport? I start Monday 9/25/06 across the street and wondered if there was anyone else working out in the suburban boondocks. While I have been through the area off and on over the years, it is kind of like being at home, not much around. Any good restaurants nearby?
Alas, it isn't plc's, but at least it's electrical. Lights, switches, wires, motor starters.
And AutoCAD (yeh!), and Promise-E (BOOOOOOO!).
Reminds me of the guy who cleaned up after the elephants. When asked why he didn't quit,he replied "And leave Show Business".
Out where I live the are probably 10 people in three counties that know anything about plc's. Most places around here, electricians and maintenance supervisors can recognize plc's, but that is the extent of their knowledge. Ironic, mostelectrical engineering jobs in Peoria and Rockford that have been eliminate the last few years have had the programming and enginneeering functions taken over by the electricians.
I was offered a plant electrical engineering job local last year for $65,000 with $20K in bonuses. The offer was recinded the next day, and the following week reposted as an electrician, for $18 hour, 50% travel, with 12 hour rotating shifts. I am probaly never going to understand the new corporate work paradigm.
