I am a Master electrician here in Maine I can confirm. Most helpers are starting at 20 to $25 an hour non-union. I think the union rates are a little bit lower actually initially, but that's a trade-off where further into the apprenticeship you'll be making more than the non-union kids. I'm self-employed and charge $105 an hour.

Water/wastewater operator. Job security for life

More healthcare workers are needed very bad. Trade jobs can always be used because they are incredibly useful, especially up North where people are building houses and camps.

Is it going to be close to where there was one before that they removed and a hotel was built?

Machinist, and I'm not talking about "button pushers". Quality machinists that have critical thinking skills.

Thank you, kind stranger!

Most likely not. The hospital should bill your insurance and then send you a bill. Depending on the amount of your deductible you will probably be able to pay it in installments as well.

I also don't get the urge when turning left, to leave the right lane, cross the entire left lane, cross the parking spot that's left of the left lane and hit the pole....drivers must be 40 feet off from the normal course of travel before the pole is lined up with their A-pillar blind spot. Anyone off course this far when traveling a regular street would find themselves in a field or woods beyond the left-side drainage ditch. Let's try to save 30 seconds of listening to a great song on the radio, waiting for people to cross so that we can stare at the 75% lean and 80% lean ground beef an extra 5 minutes, deciding whether to spend the extra 25¢ "for health".

I don’t buy it.

But the other solution is to just get rid of the sign.

I’ve never see another parking lot that has a stop sign at the end of the row on the building side like that.

Nah give them some credit... at least half a day... maybe a full week.

Well... then the store would close lol

Water and wastewater operators. 5-10 years from now will see massive amounts of people in the field retiring creating an intense need for new professionals. Benefits are insane, pay is good. Work is mostly stress free.

Here's a crazy idea - remove all of it.

General labor honestly

I just got ditched from the Vocational training for being an electrician because I don't have a car, so Fuck You, Maine. I've sent for my passport, and I will move to Canada and become a truck driver or whatever they need. Fuck America and Fuck Maine and I am NOT fucking around. Get fucking LOST.

As an RN I can't agree enough with this statement. I would never encourage anyone to be a nurse. The abuse from all sides is just not worth it.

Bus drivers & postal workers are top that come to mind.

This is the world famous Walmart bollard.

Maine is in desperate need of therapist ever since the pandemic started. I think there will definitely still be a need in 6 years

Yeeeeah...speaking as someone that was in a heavy traffic jam going onto this highway, this is definitely needed. That line going to the light that connects the off-ramp to Industrial Park Road can get pretty insane.

Unfortunately there is a lot of stress in labs due to short staffing and severe underpayments, our job is invisible to many 😕

You are right! The most undervalued profession in the medical field along with paramedics.
