Actual Comments from the holder of this Actual Career
How do you feel about this Actual Career? Was your degree helpful in your career field? In your opinion, what kind of education did you need to get this career? Associate Degree, Anything & everything about mining, and safety Experience, Skills, Specialized Training, Licenses, or Certifications: Certified by Federal agency MSHA (Mine Safety & Health Administration), Hazard Training, Task Training for any Job, or equipment operations. Mine Rescue Training, Fire Team, and Training, turn out gear, Breathing apparatus’s Fire Extinguishers, Fire hoses and nozzles etc. Just one more thing…. A person can start by entering College courses, for Mining at Vincennes University or Wabash Valley College. Takes at least 4yrs of experience to receive all certifications, but after two yrs a person can start getting certified in each of the above areas. If a person starts the College route, it is a lot faster, 2 to 4 years, I went the old way, on the job experience, it took me 13 years, now I have 34 years, and I am still adding to my Certification list. |
