![](/profile/get-photo.asp?memberid=1571&type=profile&rnd=908) Ludington/Manistee MI area | I’m a process operator for a chemical company I’ve graduated to a more specialized role within operations. My advice for younger guys is get a trade, be a welder, electrician, or fitter. Do something that gives you a trade. I make the same base rate as a craft BUT with a craft a person could retire early and moonlight part time on the side to make a little extra money in retirement. |
