I have an associates degree and 3 years of experience as a process operator at a oil distillation refinery. It’s shutting down and I really feel lost/ scared. I’m applying everywhere but hate this feeling of uncertainty. Not for me but for my kids. I don’t mind learning something new , any advice? I was thinking truck driving (CDL) or lineman school… I don’t mind moving but I love being a process operator

considering kids, I'd probably not do CDL

If it came down to moving with the kids to a new home or CDL which would you choose? Just curious on how you would think it through and why?

There’s a shortage of truck drivers - don’t think you’d have trouble finding a job.

My dad was a truck driver though and I didn’t get to see him a lot as he was doing runs to Texas, NYC, CA, FL, etc. It’s a tough job and not really any work/life boundaries. Of course, he ended up switching to a more local trucking job and hardly ever went outside of our state. He would be home every night. It’s possible - good luck to you!!

Are they offering any kind of placement assistance?
