I had to go to a workshop this summer so I picked one that is kind of of the grid for me. This was presented by Eastman. The really cool part was the PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY LAB at a local community college. This is an industrial course and takes 2 years instead of 4. Starting salary was about $45,000. Most of the work is inside monitoring systems on computers. The whole thing was very interesting. So if you are really not into the medical field or teaching you might want to look into this. I never knew this existed so was just trying to gt the word out.

I work at Eastman and am a part of the High School team shere we go out and talk to local high schools about our porgrams and our scholarship programs. We give scholarships to every single local school that has someone apply. We also have other postitions that starts out macking much more than the lab tech position.

Eastman presented this. It really was super nice. I think every teacher there was a chemistry teacher. I am going to say that going into a huge area that uses propylene did not give me a warm cozy feeling but everything was so well monitored that anything irregular was caught before it was a problem. All their wastes are taken care of. It was just cool. If I was forty years younger I would do that process technology. Actually a votec school is across the street from the high school and I am thinking about looking into something to take. I need to mention that Flint Hills had a lot to do with this too. I think they also have plants in MO. Maybe as Koch industries.
