I took this course last year and it changed my life. I had 12 job offers before I even graduated, and now I lead my own team for MASTEC. To this day, I can call Matt for anything highly recommended.

How fast did you get a job offer after finishing the course plus did they pay you to relocate outside of your hometown, is that where the per dime is coming from, if so where is that at ? You don’t have to disclose that info.. just curious

Too touch on starting pay; I make $22 an hour and $150 a day PerDiem, I average around 60 hours a week. I’m from college station and I currently work in PNW traveling on the road isn’t all that bad I still have weekends off and have plenty of time for myself. It’s truly a good career and it saved me from being a homeless vet. A year ago I only made $13k and now I’m making just over $100k a year. If you’re young and single than I say do it! Don’t stay in your hometown, screw those people, do a badass job and get paid to travel!
