QUOTE(tdgray @ Nov 1 2004, 05:17 AM) BS -Accounting / Finance, Walsh University MBA - Kent State Job - Chief Financial Officer - for a Forging Company. Do I like the job? - most of the time. It is rewarding to work in small / medium business... get to wear many hats blah blah blah. For me I like to work in manufacturing companies, actually producing a product. Just makes you feel better than selling air. Do I like the profession? - most of the time. Too many damn regulations (ie. Sarbanes-Oxley). Do I like the money? - DAMN RIGHT. I know that you do not have to make allota money to be happy.... but it sure helps to have some so that you can do the things that DO make you happy. As for college.... Yes if you want to. I see way to many of our children being pushed into college because that is what they are being told to do. This is why our trades are suffering. Kids that have more talent working with thier hands are being fed a line of shit that they have to go to college to get a good job. My father has worked in construction for many years, from being a Union carpenter to now he is a superintendent of operations for a large construction company. There is money to be made in any profession if you work hard. Hell I know automotive painters that have the ability to make more than I do. Moral of the story... do what you like, not what someone tells you that you will like, even if it is digging ditches (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) SOX SUCKS! Still working on my 2 year in computer science. I hate my computer job. Most of the good or fun people have been laid off and thier work has been farmed out to other countries/contractors. I was sucked into the computer world at the hieght of the Y2K hiring. I had pretty much no formal education. I started from the ground loading paper in a large production printers and eventually was writting software years later. Now I mostly answer phones and do help desk related crap for a large corp. Sucks, I hate this place, but I make good $$$ for sitting around on the 914club sight all day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
