Damn dude. I work for Fed Ex Frieght right on butterfield road. I know they are hiring. You can drop your application off anytime. Starting pay is $14.00 for training then you get a 80cent raise. May not be as much as you are looking for, but it can at least afford your car payment.

that sucks dude, go for unemployment if nothing else if you made enough you will still be able to pay your payments till you get another job your payment will be late but unless your a problematic payer they generlly wait for 2 or 3 backedup payments(or so im told) before they repo and your unemployment will ahve kicked in long before that nice part about getting laid off is 6 motnhs of 75%ish free pay
as for that fed ex job..so where on butterfeild road? i hate my job and i only put up with it to make my payments, and starting apy is what i make now

www.KBRJobs.com Submitt your resume....or Dimen-intl.com

Those are overseas contractors. They pay nice. Just not for everyone.

Start looking at your lolcal clubs, see if they need help with Staff or security or what not....Just about the easiest money you can make.

Ok, that's like exactly where it is. If you are on RT. 59, with the gas city on your right hand side, you'll turn left onto butterfield. You pass under a viadoc and the fed ex freight building will be on your left.

KBR is safe, for the most part, the contractors that had teh shitty job (having to drive a truck being escorted by our convoys) were usually romanian or something crazy lol they must get the shitty ones.

The food places and housing on the big bases (Like TQ for instance) is frickin' amazing. If i could have been there I'd spend easily over a year there, esp for 130 grand
