Answer 2

I can tell you my uncle works down in the Philly Union and makes $45+ dollars an hours If i remember right. The actually Test is actually very easy I took it and now in as a first year, it is basically Algebra and easy Algebra at that so if you can do that and read you should do fine.

Above all if you know someone in the union your odds seem to go up a h**l of alot.

Just to note when you start you will be making mostly $15 an hour, whatever 35% of a journey salary
