Best Jobs in America

I like that they take numerous factors into account. Not just salary but satifsaction, long hours/flexibility or frustrations are judged too. Info came from a Money Magazine article.

Yeah - looking back I really wish I were my own college professor - he had 80 semesters and was so chilled out. The best and most awesome painting and drawing professor. Super duper supreme - yet I know he did more than sit there and be cool....I love him so much. Probably the only white man I adore lol hehe jk...... I got my easel fixed this weekend and posted it on FB and he was the first one within 45 seconds to congratulate me! <3!!!!! I was so excited and happy about that - he is like a father to me. (in my mind)

 

My job doesn't make the cut. . Lol

 

lol

 

Jordan,
You always present substantive, useful, directly-to-the-point material....I would rep you if I could......Re-tooling education will be the biggest challenge for most of your wide-eyed aspirants...........

 

Thanks arch, I try the share the things I find interesting.

 

nice thread!

i love it how they are all 6 figure jobs and more than one is in the IT field.

NERD = 6 figure income, 4 letter word

 

lol

adults don't generally take nerd as an offensive word, because they know nerds are a significant portion of the ones who go on to make lots of money

mathematicians, engineers, IT dorks, physicians, lawyers...bet many of them were teased for being into academics and sitting somewhere high in their class rankings

u really can't put enough emphasis on these kids to do the best they can do in school, while avoiding all the other shit

 

hey hey hey, i am no 6 foot whale penis...

 

i'm just teasing..

being as tho IT people aren't expected to be the most social of groups

according to the literature i've read anyway

it's all in jest



bottom line tho....being a nerd/geek or whatever you call it, has its advantages. especially with IT, since it's constantly evolving and is one of those fields where experience can be just as important or more so, than level of degree you received from college.

if you're really into what you do, the sky is the fucking limit with IT

 

your right and thats why i always get the job and get paid more than most. with my expertise normally people dont have the social skills i do. my mom says its because im her cutie patootie and i just tell her its because im AMAZING!

 

lol

use what god gives you

if it's the gift of gab and charisma, have at it

 

I read there is a rise in blerds. Their word not mine.

Aspiring blerd in training. :smt036

 

Blerd.

Better than a plain ole nerd.

 

similar to faded is better than drunk. hahahaha

 

Just because a person studies science doesn't make them a nerd.

 

And even then......there is no great shame in nerdism......There are some stunning statistics regarding nerds----to name a few:

-Nerds have some of the longest fulfilling marriages

-Nerds are the most efficient and successful parents

-Nerds as a rule are the most discipline and successful with their
savings

-Nerds elect to and work in some some of the most stable industries

-Nerds are the least inclined to cheat on their love ones

-Nerds are the least intrusive and the least demonstrative of all
citizens

-Nerds make some of the best and most dependable friends


-Nerds according to the Deity are "the meek who will inherit the
earth"

............God bless the Nerd..........

 

AMEN!

 

I'm currently a high school teacher by day, & a college professor by night. I love BOTH jobs! Teaching, even with the pay not being all that great, is truly a rewarding profession.

Now, is teaching the BEST profession in the world? I'm sure many of you would beg to differ......lol.

 

if you're double-dipping like that, i'd imagine the combined incomes to be pretty good

public school teachers around here make around 40-50k, and professors can easily make 60-100+ depending on if they're an assistant, associate or full professor. I remember a high school teacher I had who had a second job too. That second job is where it's at, especially if it's not too demanding. You won't get rich working 1 job, but if you can save from the other and invest.....:shock:
