Education: High School job: Machinist (Manual Turning and Milling) hourly wage: 17.00 weekly: you do the math. I did exactly the same thing dex did, started out on the floor doing bitch shit for 11.00 an hour, worked my way up. Currently laid off so i figured, what the hell and im now working on my associates in engineering. Id love too get back into the job. I figure at least an AE would give me a stronger base in math and science and up my wages quite a bit when i go back. I also plan on taking CNC courses somewhere along the way. ---

I graduate in May, start in July. Already signed all of the contract/paper work… beats making 9 bucks/hour part-time at Best Buy. ---

They used to like it a lot…they said the culture there got super :tinfoilhat: last year when it looked like they might go under… I guess it’s better now but they still get all paranoid about outsourcing ---

> [@d3x](#): > > You guys are both missing my point. I’m not saying that furthering your education is a bad idea. Just calling out the universities for their profiteering tactics. In order to get a degree at any university your are required to pay for and pass classes that have absolutely nothing to do with your career path. And these classes are easily 50% or more of your curriculum. So at least half of your money and your time is basically being thrown away. That would be like a muffler shop charging you for a whole new exhaust when all you need is a muffler. This would almost be acceptable if that piece of paper you payed out your ass for guaranteed you a good job…but it doesn’t. stop trolling, go read the threads on this instead of trying to digg it up again. I would have paid a heck of a lot more than I did to not be making $20/hr… ---

Most IT jobs just seem like another left brained job that will be done offshore. I realize some will stay here but with 999999999999 kids in the US looking for IT jobs the supply and demand seems out of wack. I would think with advancing technology this shit would take care of itself too. lol A couple people have mentioned security.
