What does everyone do for work? I need to change jobs.

I'm a budget analyst for a local city. I split my time between developing the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, monitoring my assigned departments to ensure they're on track to meet their goals without going over budget, and completing various research projects for our director. I find it pretty satisfying and it's a good background to have if I want to be a City Manager eventually.

What degree, finance/accounting?

[Tremor14]

preconstruction development

[bonnie&clyde]

Telecomm

Man, i don't know how you guys can go to peoples houses. I just can't imagine going to some of the trashy homes.

Did that shit working through college, saw some fucked up shit, really fucked up shit. Try being a 130lb white kid and working Como at sundown.

I've been looking for a job in sales, but I don't want to work weekends. I'm paying my bills collecting cans as of late

You should sell frozen steaks, I hear they make great money if you work hard.

Refined petroleum delivery in the day sports gambler at night. The second one is more fun

Hydraulic engineering and sales. Not a bad gig in my opinion.

Agree with Strychnine, upstream is boring.

Farm and CATTLErancher. Full time deer hunter.

I'd like to "visit" the cattle one day

I work in the Collision Industry. Wanderer, what are your skills and what do you like to do? If I could do It all over again I would have gone Military for a while then Firefighter or Bio mechanical engineer.

Probably in the meat department

Fuck that shit! Front end manager. Mostly what I do is handle upset customers.
Now especially with the Dallas County bag ordinance in effect. I see worthless pieces of shit getting for $500 worth of groceries for free "EBT" bitching about a couple dollars for bags. About 50% of them do not buy the bags. Instead they'll take whole shopping carts. sometimes two and three loose just like that out the door. Fucking heathens.

[slow99]

Not NEAR enough, for what they have to do!

Absolutely agree.

What's the pay range for an ER dr, generally? $250-$300k? Any reason that'd be materially different in the Midwest (Ohio)?

I have a friend I graduated from residency with who worked in an ER in Cincy. She made ~$350k per year. She just moved to Tampa making significantly more.

Not NEAR enough, for what they have to do! I would think that different regions pay much differently than others. I would also think it would depend on how easy it is to get a qualified person to live/work in a given area.

Been a while, but when I was recruiting them, it was specifically for temp jobs. They'd make $150-180-ish per hour. I'm sure it's more now. So, I think your estimate is probably low.

As for the Midwest, there is definitely a shortage of doctors. Or, a worse shortage than the rest of the country, I should say. So yes, most of the jobs tend to pay higher there than your more popular locations. Even in Ohio, Columbus pays a good bit more than Cincinnati, so it just depends.

Cool, thx.
