If you like the idea of being alone on the road with time to catch up on podcasts, listen to music, or just enjoy the local scenery without too many complicated tasks while racking up the (hourly) money that even some suckers who paid $80k on a master’s degree aren’t making, keep reading.
That doesn’t mean you can’t work hard (because you will) or you can’t perform other duties (because you will) or that complicated tasks are outside your capabilities (because you MUST be capable).
If a steady paycheck working with a well-established business that values competence (and compensates accordingly) is appealing to you, if you like seeing the immediate results of your labor, little to no traffic to and from work, prefer action over sitting behind a desk, and team-mates just as competent and eager as you at proving essential to society’s food, medication, military equipment, and Amazon orders getting from A to B, Houck Construction might be for you.
