TDCJ

Not a bad job if you don't mind working for an employer that breaks every federal employment law on the books. Not to mention being belittled by every one with alittle rank. Oh, and you will also work with some of the laziest excuses for workers anywhere.
One of the up sides is that you will meet some of the most resource people alive. Lots of true talent being thrown away. Don't ever think that an inmate is dumb, because he will be smarter than you. He just fooled you.
But in all serious, if the area you live in doesn't have any other jobs. You can survive on the pay, the works not hard, and the worse part of the job will be tolerating the idiots you will be working with. TDJC has a saying about dealing with the offenders: be fair, firm, and consistent. Great ideal, seldom followed. But if you follow it you will have few problems with the offenders.
Working for TDCJ allows me to live in on the family farm, and to hunt most weekends. Before, it I was on the road over 6 months out of the year, and missing my daughter going up.
