A power plant is just like a car, so a SCR = Catalytic Converter, Baghouse is much the same as a Catalytic Converter ( it just works like a giant Air Filter), it takes the fine particulate out of the air. Then the ductwork connects everything to the tall stack

True, but is it good for entry level? Cause that's where I'm gonna have to start... no degree for me I'm afraid. ugh. Not to mention, it's hands on.

entry level for me was in the 20's an hour, i didnt go to school to do construction/project management i just kinda fell into it. How old are you and what do you currently do? A degree isnt always required but for this it helps a ton!

I was a Weapons Director, before having all of my duties taken away for BS. So I'm on the track out. My job has nothing to do with construction, but I'm good with my hands and know a decent bit about basic construction. And a quick learner for the more specific stuff.

Either as long as I have enough for Z. At least I could work, school, then eventually manage if possible... but I doubt I'd go straight to managing, although I wouldn't turn it down if offered. :p

Oh I agree it's gonna suck, but the current events weren't in my plan, soooo I'm having to make due. Wasn't planning on having to get out of the military before 20 years/retirement.
