Wind Power - evidently it's where the jobs are...
Interesting story...
It seems the wind power industry can't get enough workers... http://www.latimes.com/news/science/environment/la-fi-wind-bootcamp1-2009mar01,0,6425035.story?track=rss

Also it's putting a shortage of fiberglass. A ton going into that industry for blades and such.

We went to a party last Friday, hosted by a "green" interior design company. Very successful, I might add.
The design company invited other companies from within the building, socially responsible companies, with vision. I have to say that I have never met a more motivated, excited collection of employees. Almost gave me hope for the future, as well as a new respect for the younger generation. |

I may seriously look into this. Stuff like that doesn't bother me.

We're trying to hire a welding engineer and seems like half the resumes show wind turbine manufacturing experience.
One of the students we talked to said those companies aren't hiring right now. BTW, I'll be at Ohio State sunday night, if any Columbus pelicans want to have a drink
