    Looking at taking a hazmat response job?

    Is it really fun and exciting/dangerous?

    Or is mainly a static powerwashing job that is really boring?

    Thanks

    No mention of the nomex suit in the summer to add to all that excitement?

    Take the job anyway. The money can get astonishingly stupid.

    They say they are starting at $25-30 an hour. (Nebraska) I'm thinking I'm just going to say $30 an hour for my 3+ years of CDL exp and no accidents.
