I livein central illinois and want to start my own business eventually but what shoudl i do after college? Union, local carpenter?? please tell me what you think! Thanks!

Central Illinois? Dam Backhaus, is that you?

If it is, you know where I stand on the Union thing.

You can't beat Union benefits, yet you stand the chance of having no work.

Some are perfectly happy in the Union, some people think Union workers are the plauge. Its all personal preferance. If you enjoy it, go for it. Nobody can make that decision for you.

Strive to be the best in your chosen profession. Locate old timers and persuade them to unload on you. You won't need a union.

Not to be rude but shutup and LISTEN!! Vendors are the best place to find a job! Be nice to them because they can wreck ya!!

I mean LISTEN like TEETORBILT said. Old school work ethic with a little of todays technology makes it work out, union or not!

I have never paid anyone to allow me to work. It's un-American.
I don't care how you do it up North! If it's so good up there, why do y'all keep moving down here?
