Now im not doing this for need as in bills backing up or bookies knocking on my door, Wife and i own our place no bills other than the normal. I retired in 2019 (blessed to have had a good job to retire at 56) We got in a Vacation to Texas and then the bottom fell out as in Covid, so for now our traveling has stopped. I have worked hard all my life and know about long hours and time away from home. But that is the long version. Short version I am looking to want in before the end of this month, so the digging around continues.Sirscrapntruckalot, pumpkinishere and Chinatown Thank this. -

TDI is a good school, so go with that one.
We can give you plenty of choices for companies that hire from that school.

Looked at the TDI website and it has something about a 15 day school. That's not long enough for many companies. Another place on the website has 3 week school.
Contact the school and ask how many hours the school is.Last edited: Jan 10, 2022
