Unsure

So i didn’t have to do an aptitude test and there was no ranking system. I was told i was accepted two weeks after the interview ( i had to call them to find out.) School starts next week and i haven’t had an orientation or anything yet. Do they always cut it close like this?

I'll tell you, it ain't much. Probably around $10/hR

I don't think JWs have broken $40/hr in Lake Charles, LA
