Do you regret it and why? If you could do something else what would it be?

      Please techs, read this post a few times and then compare your compensation and benefits package to what u/Quicksix666 is describing. They didn’t even mention the holidays and overtime pay. I’m retired now, but my fleet paid night differential and Sunday premium as well. Of course, with seniority, we generally worked 6:00 am to 2:30 pm from Monday through Friday in positions that were open to periodic bidding. 8-hour days dudes! Uniform allowance! Heck, my fleet even bought our tools!

      Oh well Quicksix666, what’s the use? They probably like those lower paying jobs with long hours and poor working conditions. Otherwise, they would be asking us two questions ASAP.
