Alo Coffee
AVEC
Maintenance Man
Alo is the maintenance man for
AIJEC here in Marshall. He is employed by both the city and AVEC. Alo
needed training to be a generator operator which he got in Anchorage.
Alo mainly works in the generator house with the AVEC mechanic and
his brother Andrew, better known as Hitch.
Alo has four job responsibilities
which are, to fuel up the generator, check and add oil, clean the
generator, and check and tighten the bolts. He likes his job because
he has a lot of freedom, and he makes over a thousand dollars a
month. That is pretty good for a ninth grade education. But there are
also some bad things about his job, like overhauling the generator.
Although this is a decent Job, Alo expects to retire soon. "You can't
work forever," he says.
Alo's advice to younger people and
students: "Go to school and get a better education so you could work
at AVEC or maybe even get a better job."
