I don’t know man I worked for GE, Fieldcore, Vestas. Total 11 years in wind the industry has changed a lot I got out and I am working in IT. Pretty much anyone who’s willing to climb can get a job.

How much of this video is still accurate I am going to AIRSTREAMS class in aug I'm getting out of the army and need a really good paying traveling wind tech position 8 weeks seems kinda steep...I was thinking it would be like 3 to 4 on and 1 to 2 off??
@@9justin8 its pretty accurate but you can make 50-60,000 a year then $50,000+ cash per dm not taxed, just depends on how good you can save your money.
@@sandorkatona2675 I’m 16 and when I finish high school I think I wanna be a wind tech. Do you think there are a lot of job opportunities and also which technician school would you recommend PSI?
I have worked for a water co. for just under 3 years starting in the last few years of college, when I graduated, I started to work for a water tank inspection company for better pay and more experience. I climbed 100+ tanks as a travel tech for 21 months and wanted to get in the renewable energy sector so I then took a job at a solar panel company in CA. I inherited a house in KS this last month and was hoping to get involved with this sort of work. Does my past work/ graduating from college help in this area? I would like to know what would be a good first step from here to get my foot in the door. Any suggestions?
Hey Sleuter McGavin, thanks for the comment and questions. Our Wind Turbine Tech lead instructor Aaron has a response for you... "Climbing experience pertaining to that is immensely helpful. Your work with solar panels would also be looked upon positively. Generally, the one thing that prevents workers with your experience, military experience, or both from breaking into the wind industry is a certification from an accredited college. These certifications-such as the one we provide-show an understanding of the fundamentals within various areas such as electricity, hydraulics, work at heights, and industrial safety. Your experience would make it much easier to find a position in this industry once you hold a certification.” Aaron Niles
Thanks for the quick reply Aaron. I hold a Bachelors of Science Degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia. During my time at Mizzou, I studied many of the above disciplines including Math; up to Calculus 3, Physics 1 & 2 (includes circuit theory), and Statics (material strengths; etc.). Overall, I feel the most relevant to this work would be the field vector forces and material strengths under certain and or specific environmental changes and conditions. Also, in my earlier comment, I did not mention my familiarity with OSHA, the site safety regulations and procedures. Which included confined spaces, electrical safety, and working at heights 100+ feet up, just to name a few. I would assume I would need to take the specific certifications provided to make an accurate and appropriate transition into this specific field of work. I would love to attend the next certification training, or schedule an interview if need be beforehand, to have an opportunity as a Wind Turbine Technician. In addition, I would like to send you a copy of my resume. Thus, I would greatly appreciate an email and look forward to hearing from you soon in order to get this outstanding opportunity started. Please feel free to contact me via email at codygriffin489@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you to get more information on the subject, as well as, the date of the certification classes needed to move forward. I would really like to further my knowledge on this specific range of information and develop my skills in the wind turbine field. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again. Sincerely, Cody Griffin

"Livable wages"
I live in Australia union wind turbine techs make 80-140k aus$ a year. However this is in 2023 and wages expected to grow massively due to demand.
Interesting. I've never heard of Union wind workers. Thanks for sharing@@ambrosefox8406
