I hate when people say a job is a job. Have you ever notice the people who mention this stupid statement are always the ones who have good jobs?

What most people don't know is, If you know somebody with some pull and slip alittle money under the table you can get a good job. its always been that way. I know people right now who work with a compamy right here in the shoals that got on by alittle help from their friends.

You know people who actually slipped a little money under the table to get their current job? I don't necessarily think that is right, but I don't blame anyone for using any connections they may have to get hired somewhere. That happens all the time and is no big deal at all, and I say if you get a job that way, all the more power to you.

That's right Heub,
The ones spewing this propaganda are usually the ones sitting at TVA or Wise with no skills and very little education who have grandpa or daddy to thank for their job.

I can't speak for Wise, but TVA has a very educated work force. Being heavily unionized, that means a lot of pre-employment union training. Plus, a great many of the employees (in certain groups) have BS or AS degrees. TVA spends a lot of money yearly training it's work force. When you are dealing with high voltage, untrained equals death. The days of riding in on daddy's coat tails are fading fast.

Very well said Alphonse, I believe you because I know that it is true also.

Well said both!
Don't know if it is still true, but just a few years ago this area had the highest percent of population with a degree in Chemical Engineering in the country, thanks to TVA.
My guess is that TVA probably has one of the best educated work fources in the nation.

I wouldnt doubt that at all! How are those people rewarded? Made a "professional" employee so that they can work 80 hours a week for a 40 hour salary?

I happen to know a certain someone who works as 'Trades and Labor', on a 40 hour week, he makes around $1200, but if they work overtime to the tune of 80 hours a week, he brings home nearly $3000 a week... BRINGS HOME... so I dont think it is a bad salary at all... And I also know for a fact that Nuclear pays the SAME wages per hour for the Trades force as does Fossil and Hydro. So where are you getting all this information? Whoever told ya that sure told ya wrong.
