You don't have to have your degree to get hired on by exxon, just like ls2 klr said they want young kids to mold into what they want.

And it's not what you know, it's who you blow.

I was wondering how often you were involved in heavy maintenance and repairs as an operator, and what a typical day consists of. operator are involved in maintenance and repair activities. What does a typical day consist of for you? People tell me every plant is different so I am just trying to get some different viewpoints.
