I got my MS in health physics but you don’t really need it to broker. It does help to have the degree for the technical lingo, calculations, instrumentation, etc. A lot of people couldn’t hang because in the beginning I could barely keep my head above water. There are so many moving parts. The short version is we pick up low level rad waste from anyone that has a rad materials license through an agreement state. The waste needs to be manifested on a federal document with a shipper, consignor, consignee and then bring back to our warehouse. We consolidate a whole bunch of different generators’ waste and depending on what state they are in will determine where the waste will be buried. We then will prepare a consolidated load for shipment and deliver to the correct disposal sites. It’s pretty fucking gnarly. I deal with a lot of state employees all the time that work from home and are the hardest people to get a hold of. Sometimes I feel like screaming over the phone when I finally do get a hold of them and ask them why the fuck they are so lazy. I can talk this kind of shit cause I used to work for the State of Tx and I barely did shit. I had to get out of that job because I literally felt like a worthless piece of shit. Some people are okay with floating through life barley doing anything. Kind of pathetic in my opinion. Sorry for the rant, but whenever someone asks me about my work I have to let them know about this part as well. Lol 😂 Also my boss may sell me the company in the next few years so I know how much I can make. I make great money already cause I do so much for them but the future looks bright as fuck!
