I don't think the driving will be a good place. I know a bunch of veteran drivers who are not getting enough miles to stay ahead of the bill collector's .. I'd look at the line man deal or some thing else. IMHO

Went to votech for electronics and can climb poles great class sounds good but don't pay the bills till u graduate. Hw lng till u can intern??? I been doin tree work by myself on the side no haul off, just me getting the trees down safely and at a heck of price bc I can travel farther without big equipment. Can even get insurance for real high risk jobs for peace of mind. Thanx

I would say the lineman gig but if you need money now that is out. Try a union building trade electrician, plumber, pipefitter or a sheet metal worker. You go to apprenticeship school to learn a couple nights a week and work your normal 40. The pay is good but the work is hard but you are used to that. There is retirement and health insurance. Down here in OKC you could go to work in Sheet Metal as a helper immediately and put in your paperwork for the apprenticeship. But I think Tulsa may be slow for work. If any of these jobs interest you I would call the local union hall in your area and ask them about work.

How u feel abt wrkn cnstrxn? I no a guy who may be lookin fer sum help. I talk 2 him n let u no.

Seriously, you are on here asking for recommendations for jobs I would write like you would talk in an interview. I will second the post earlier about take the time to write like you aren't some kid making plans to go to the movies.

I do know a guy who owns a construction company but based on the info you have given I'd be a little weary of making a recommendation. Also, in my opinion your statement earlier of "good license" is a little misleading. Maybe you should just say, "I have a drivers license". To me "good drivers license" means good history, which would matter to a company that may have you driving a company vehicle and having suspensions on record will probably be a tough sell. Telling you the truth so that maybe in the future you will better your odds. Best of luck to you.

Gotta love the BS construction zones where no work is going on or has gone on for weeks or months that is used as a speed trap.

Don't know about the neon tag light but I'd have fought the "loud music" ticket in court.
