As a wastewater or water treatment operator, you can climb up to the highest level, which is typically the "Chief Operator" or "Superintendent" role. These positions often require a combination of advanced certification and years of experience. For education, many operators pursue an associate degree in environmental science, chemistry, or a related field, along with specialized certifications. Some states or employers may require a Bachelor's degree for top roles.

As for income, it varies by location and experience, but Chief Operators can earn anywhere from $60,000 to $90,000 annually, with potential for higher salaries in large cities or utilities.
