Like many people here, I plan on taking the civil service exam this April. I'm trying to figure out if I should choose the MBTA as one of my town selections, but from what I've read here, it looks like a waste of a selection if you aren't a vet. I'm not a vet, but I speak two languages other than English (Spanish & Russian). I've heard that they sometimes call non-vets with language skills, but I don't know how often this actually happens. So, does everyone think I should put in for the MBTA or would it most likely be a waste of a selection? Any feedback would be appreciated.

You get your town of residence and 3 choices if I remember correctly. If you are not a vet there is little to no chance you will be hired anywhere except the town you are a resident in or the T if you have a language skill they need. Spanish is always big and Russian would be helful with all the terrorism stuff and investigations.

Nice screen name. Also, I love how you posted your real name and cell phone number in your profile. Good thinking. :no:

And drag racing as a hobby! Classic.

Dunny,

the drag racing helps him stay "Motovated" for those high speed pursuits.

People that still drag race into their 30s are the cool kids anyway.

Then again, who am I to judge?
