To be a rodman you don't need anything.. you can learn that way, and move up.. but there's like 2 year courses you can take that'd help alot, if you want to be a crew chief or something.

i am a luthier (stringed instrument builder and repairman) and also tour with bands as a guitar tech. I toured playing for years with various bands... thats how i got my foot in the door. i alsoworked in the Gibson custom shop for years. entry pay is about $400/wk + per diam. since i have been doing it for a while, my pay is around $750/wk + $25/day per diam. hopefully i will move up to stage manager in the next year or so. that would mean $1000/wk + $25/day per diam.

I work in a pizza place, but am hopefully going to be working in a plastics factory in the next few weeks.
I never thought I would ever hear myself say i will hopefully be working in a factory, but the money isnt bad for someone with no real college education. I'll keep that up until June, when I will be going to bonnaroo, and working at a local day camp as a camp councellor during the summer. I did it last year and its an absolutely amazing job! The kids are amazing and i'm outside the whole time. Getting paid to run around and play sports with a bunch of 11-13 year olds.. Ahh, the life.
And hopefully i'm going to school next fall. I applied to Johnson & Whales in Providence, RI, and Johnson State College in VT.

I'm a full time student, 4th year university B.A in humanities and a B.ed in P/J. Basically in 2 years I can teach k-4, considering picking up a minor in psych or european studies next year.
I work full time hours at a part-time job waitressing/bartending and still don't make enough $$ I model for extra cash on occasion. I'm trying to find a flexible second job from April-September I was thinking parks & rec or day camp, but I'm not sure how flexible that will be, if not that then maybe a bookstore or coffee shop.
