i need a new job!!

Computer Engineer for the ARMY.....I hate my paychecks, its bad when a 19yrold doing the same job is making 70+ grand a year and I barley clear 40 with a BS in Bio Phys. and 10 year in the military....Got to love cheap labor..LOL
 
I work in IT I was talking about my personal experiences and those of people I know :shrug:

IT is not the great field with super high pay that it once was. More and more companies are outsourcing IT to contract companies like CSC and EDS.

As for "you better not be talking about me" what are you going to do? Take away my birthday? :rlaugh:

Ironically, you are the one that needs to know WTF you are talking about before you speak :nice:
 
darkside, notice in his post he quoted 'whyask', not you.


back to topic


im in construction, in the sheet metal industry. i make good dough, but it could be better. not what i want to do forever though. im trying to get into the fire department. less pay, but a much more satisfying job.
 
Whatever job you have (or want) make sure it has a good retirement plan. I've been retired for 16 years after working for 32 years for a county government in MD. Between my pension and Social Security I make well over 55K/year to ride my motorcycle and polish the GT 'vert.
Most government jobs usually don't pay as well as the private sector but it's tough to beat the benefits and pension plans. Keep that in mind when you're job hunting. I know to you younger fellows retirement is a real long way off but it comes quicker than you can believe and , hopefully, can last a long time. And, it is FUN!

you better not be talking about me. no wtf your talking about b4 you open you start typing. Im a federal tech

i take it that job doesn't require proper grammar huh?:)


i'm in the automotive business as well so no help here

interested to hear what's out there though. both my brother (hospital dietician) and my sister (not exactly sure what she does but it involves designing the booths at expos) love their current jobs and are well paid and while i do like my current job as a tech i'm very poorly paid so i might be looking for a new job soon as well


should've listened to the folks and stayed in school or followed in my dads footsteps and joined the border patrol, still not too late i guess:shrug:
