Where in NC you looking to go? I am just west of Charlotte. You could do what you are doing, they are also hiring cops here at most levels. I work in IT consulting, cool field. Love doing it. It is still one of those fields you can buckle down, work real hard (focus on the REAL HARD) and even without a degree potentially make it big time. Quote
1inStripes Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Support/Bios/Bio.aspx?bio=23 Indifferent on it at the moment. The hours tend to stink, but it pays well enough, and I try to give them what they pay for. Call me only if you intend to buy. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted March 3, 2009 Super User Posted March 3, 2009 From HOME, I'm a money manager/investment advisor, so I am tied to the markets throughout the day, but have only a handful of clients so I'm not constantly trading. The cool thing about it is having a lake in my backyard. Quote

Branuss04 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I work at the corporate office for a medium size supermarket chain in California and Nevada. I support our companies time and attendance system for 15,000 employees and 150 stores. I am the first line of defense to ensure the employees get paid correctly. It's a really cool job. It's a set schedule, 40 hours a week, great benefits. It's a desk job where I work on the computer all day, but at 22 years old, I'm fortunate to be able to use my degree to my advantage and have a secure job. ;D Quote

Red Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 i work for a company that builds stadium seating, bleachers and press boxes for school stadiums. i build the press boxes. i am currently working 10 hour days (standard for entire company), been there a bit over a year...love every minute of it, cant wait to get busy again and get some more OT. the pay is crap but the benefits are pretty good and it is a good company, i see myself being there for a while. i would rather enjoy going to work for less pay than dread it each day for more money.

Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 3, 2009 Super User Posted March 3, 2009 I'm retired and have been for the last 5 years. I owned a scrap metal co for 35 years in addition started several other companies, new steel sales, steel slitting co., enormous pressure but I loved it. I've made payroll for hundreds over the years so I know both sides of the management/labor equation. What I'm most proud of is that I never laid anyone off ever, even during recessions. Quote
