Amount
« on: August 16, 2005, 04:57:48 am »
...because I get paid absolutely nothing because I'm a student. I have the words student written on my forehead and that makes it ok to pay me 75% less than everyone else. It stinks.

At some point you'll start earning the money you deserve.  Hang in there, college will help you get more than you otherwise would.

actually~ i'm not complaining. My job is great, i doubt I could find a better job while I'm studying. Yeah the pay sucks but at the moment it is better than nothing~ and the experience gained is also very valuable. So i take back my complaint

You know, if its pay you're worried about, the best job is just going out and selling cocaine


or you can become a lifeguard, if you can get a job at a swim resort or something, the pay is just dandy :)

That's a good long term career, I have heard.

Yeah, the demand is high, and I think it's fair to guess that the demand will continue to grow.  I also hear that the market targeting young adults (from 18 - 30) continues to grow rapidly.

Meth seems to be the fastest growing "market segment".  Anyway, by good long term career, I really meant that you could do that for the rest of your life, which would probably be about 3 to 5 years :)

That doesn't sound so bad.  They say, "Life is short, party on :) !"

I work in an IT firm, I program Visual Basic, access database programming and administration. I get paid the same as they do as they do in McDonalds. Though I get flexible hours, a job I really enjoy, real experience in the industry and career oportunities. So i shouldn't complain.

Like everyone else is saying~ if I was in it for the money I'd be selling cocaine.

That's a good way to get in to the industry.  What do you want to do "when you grow up"?

Well I'm don't exactly know at the moment. At the begining of the year my aim was to be a software engineer. But now, I think I've changed my view~ i'm really getting into this modelling of fluid dynamics. So I'd like to end up somewhere along this line.

I would imagine there is a good market for fluid dynamics, with everyone trying to learn java and be web programmers these days.  I do think that having a good CS background will help you in developing models or control systems, so it's probably worthwhile to have the experience you do.

I started out as a EE, then a programmer, then a unix admin, and now I'm stuck in management.

Sounds like you don't like management? Why not go back into programming then?

Earlier in my career, I told myself that I would put up with a lot for money, and that's pretty much where I'm at.  I am working toward a "C" level position, so I have to get used to it.
