LOL aaron, Im a Professional Engineer. my job has its good moments then suffers through periods of tedium, just like any profession I suppose.
Specifically I work on suspension bridges. In construction management. I dont believe engineers are compensated nearly enough, given the education we have to have, and the responsibilities we have. Honestly Im thinking about a career change,but I dont have a clue what else I can do though |

Check it out... 3 loops! Group: Members Posts: 208 Joined: 23-April 04 From: elwood, ne Member No.: 1,970 |
I’m webmaster for a network of agricultural radio stations, and I do a lot of in-house Java programming. I’ve worked there since I was a sophomore in high school, so when I graduated I became full-time and took my old boss’s job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The work is awesome… I’m a one—man development team, so I get to learn and experiment a lot. The only problem is that there’s no money out in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, and there’s no place for me to advance from where I am now. Anyway… I’m going to college at Phoenix Online right now. I tried a local university, but I hate the “college lifestyle” crap. Who wants to be a poor, drunk, indoctrinated college kid? |

I am a porn star. My stage name? Shorty.
Seriously though, I'm in medical sales and love it. I recommend a sales career to all who are outgoing, can take the pressure of weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual quotas. The financial rewards are only limited by your desire and imagination. BS in Information Systems from the Univ of San Francisco. |
