He's looking to hire a geotechnical engineer for his tunneling company. That just happens to be what I am. The pay is unreal, benefits are crazy good, and the work is extremely interesting.

I'd have to move to Nevada.

Would you work for Elon?

If I had the skills he was looking for (I don't!)...I'd work for him in a heartbeat!

My guess is he's pretty demanding of excellent results. (he wouldn't be where he is, otherwise).

But to be a part of the successes his companies produce...priceless!

Worry about it once you apply and get the job offer, doubt it will happen if your asking for advice on this site.

Can you take coonman with you for an assistant? You know answered phones, emails, proof read your reports, make coffee, picking up supply and such kind of a package deal.

If I had the skills, it was good for may family, and the compensation was right YES so fast all you would see is my vapor trail.

Yeah I thought I had it all figured out in college and I broke up with her for awhile to chase after other women. I didn't make it long before I really got to missing her.

I ain't afraid to admit it. I think God makes someone for just about everyone and ain't a doubt in my mind she's the one for me
