    We've heard a rumor that it's up to 5 weeks waiting for a finisher, after orientation. Anybody have any recent experience with that? My roommate and I start 4-week school tomorrow, and would finish orientation the 21st of August, and hope we don't sit around for weeks waiting for a finisher. We are both female.

    Could be that long for a female ....might be longer for a smoking preference .... I believe they will pay you $75 @ day and room.u at la Quinta

    If it's true, it will be your first exercise in patience...you need it in this business....stay focused on the task at hand...if you can, don't give a smoking preference...take the first available.

    Good luck...stay focused

    Thank you, guys. I'm just trying to figure out where I'm going to get rent if I'm only earning $75 a day. And wondering if the rumors are true or not.

    I waited three weeks for mine & it was $50 a day starting after the third day. Complete waste of life. (Though I did have the room to myself)

    Do yourself a favor and say you are tired and need to sleep when your finisher gets there. Enjoy the hotel another night & get the extra 75.

    You'll have plenty of time for sitting in traffic & making $2 an hour. (Or zero if staying in the same town)!!!

    Joplin does suck doesn't it xD. I can tell u are over it lol. How many times the bums asked you for money while you eat your tots at sonic?

    This one time it was a lightning storm and lightning struck beside me and some old hag said all ghostly can I have some monnneeeyyyy orrr foooodddd.
    It was creepy like it was omen in a movie. Threw a tot at her and told her to kick rocks. :)

    Practice on telling ppl to screw off.

    :D
    .....
    Oh boy.

    Folks stay tuned to the finisher drama.
    If sonic is fast then so is road service!

    You are in for a treat.

    Walmartatlas.com will be your friend ;)
    I do Kroger's myers and heb....though you will learn to hate every single one of those places for actually costing you money. Not just costing you money by going thru the line.

    If things get real bad take your hammer and bang a few things up and claim they got damaged by the forklift guy xD. Food for a month!
