wolfwingsI... well, I just got called by the TSA. =o.O= Not in a bad way, either. It's been just over a year since I applied, pass the screening tests, and was put in the queue for a background test and all that. They just got back to me finally, asking if I was still interested.
I said yes.
If I get the job, I'll have to move down to Tulsa, but that's okay with me, means I'll be far enough south to not worry about any road-salt at all. I just... wow, didn't actually expect to hear back at this point anymore. Glad I answered my phone when I didn't recognize the number. =^.^=
If I get the job, it's GSD pay scale to start... so, $23.6k to $35.4k... I really need to think about this now. =-.-=
Thoughts, folks? I get the feeling it'll be 'now or never' soon for picking what career I'll be doing for the immediate future, should I really look into trucking at this point, should I stick to security work, or should I take the TSA job if I get the chance?

2) You'll be getting your foot in the door. You can move within the system once you're there.
3) You'll be working your way up the pay scale.
4) From what I understand,it's Civil Service with Federal Employee benefits & retirement benefits.
It's the last that's the best. You'll be hard pressed to find a 20+ year job today, with great benefits & vacation time. Besides, you can always keep doing what you like on the side.
Trucking's fine - in the short term - however, do you want to be doing it for the rest of your life? You can always go to it if you decide to do something other than TSA, after you've tried it.
