Question by Trixie: Who makes more money in a year a plumber, or a computer technician?
My husband an I were sitting around discussing money. We got on the subject of plumbers and how much they make, because he asked about my uncle and why him and his wife/family were living in such a small house. I told him that, after I finish my degree(s) and eventually find a job, I could be making equivalent to what my uncle makes. He disagrees. So, now we are on the discussion of who would make more in a year: plumber or computer technician?
Went to school for plumbing and own a computer repair shop……WOW borgtj, what area of computers did you go into?

Harlingen, TX (PRWEB) February 17, 2010

Larry Keim Harlingen Texas wraps up his 3 part series with Executive Zoom by discussing green jobs in the state of Texas.

On February 9 of this year the Texas Workforce Commission announced that they were offering $ 15 million to Texas Employers as incentives for hiring out-of-work Texans. According to Keim this is a good time for those job seekers to look at the possibility of acquiring jobs in the Green Jobs (a.k.a. Green Collar Jobs) industries.

There are several issues to be considerred. First, what defines a green job? Keim says it’s not as complicated as some people make it. “Green jobs have been around for a long time, such as: jobs in air quality; biofuels; renewable energy jobs; green construction jobs; weatherization and much more.”

Special training is required for some of these jobs. Keim says, “Green jobs training is here and more is coming. In Texas two HB 516 & SB 108 bills have been introduced to supplement training.” We found that Texas Governor Rick Perry’s Competitiveness Council stated that 2/3 of new energy sector jobs over the next 10 years would come from renewable energy sector. Keim also pointed at that some certification, specifically LEEDS certification may be required.

Not all jobs are yet available. Keim says that many are available now and others, such as wind power generation, solar energy and smart grid jobs are on the horizon. “The time to prepare is now. The highest paying jobs will be in these areas, where technical and professional skills will be required.”

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2009

A New York electrician who suffered a brain injury after falling from a ladder was awarded a $ 5.5 million pretrial settlement. The plaintiff was represented by attorneys Stephen J. Murphy & David L. Scher of Block O’Toole & Murphy, a New York construction accident law firm.

The plaintiff, a 40-year-old electrician, was repairing a high bay lighting fixture when he received an electric shock and fell approximately 14-16 feet from an aluminum extension ladder. The accident took place in a Federal Express warehouse in Brooklyn. As a result of the fall, the plaintiff suffered numerous serious injuries, including skull fractures and brain hemorrhaging. This brain injury has resulted in severe cognitive deficits, including memory loss, confusion, and depression. In addition, the plaintiff has been totally and permanently disabled from employment as a result of his injuries.

The plaintiff claimed that the defendant violated New York Labor Law by failing to provide him with any type of protection when he climbed the 28-foot ladder. The court granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on liability, and the parties negotiated a $ 5.5 million pretrial settlement. Astro Electrical’s carrier contributed $ 5 million and FedEx contributed $ 500,000.

The court of record for this case was Kings County Court in New York, Index No. 1643/2006.
