Thanks, I'll let him know. |
+1 commercial work is where it's at. My wealthiest relative is an electrician - and now CEO of a large commercial electrical contracting company. |
That's still studying exceptions. There's no job, trade or otherwise, where everyone gets to be the boss. People aim for jobs that require education because the average outcome is better. My BIL is working for builders, not making house calls. He's in an area where there isn't much else. Yes, that's his issue wanting to live where he does, but he's not alone in that. Half of Silicon Valley has moved to town and that's why luxury residential is booming. He's not hurting for work, but compensation doesn't reflect demand or approach the work-from-home salaries that are driving cost of living. |
So she leveraged her Fed position to get the government contracting company to place your kid? Sounds highly unethical. |
I am PP...not even talking about this...mean going to work for Lockheed or an auto manufacturer as a welder or electrician or pipe fitter. These jobs have apprenticeship programs and are paying well over $100k, especially if you consider overtime. You work normal hours at a factory with good benefits and opportunities to advance into managerial operational roles, and they will pay for you to attend college if you want to "up" your skills. |
I did it by myself, I mean teamwork with spouse, both phd, got the snake from home depot, took us an hour with cleaning and everything. More and more people are going to DIY. |
I know several UMD & UPitt CS seniors (all MoCo) doing internships last summer and getting FT return offers. If school is T20 and GPA> 3.0, then should have no issue. |
Are these employers asking to see a transcript in their review process? Sincere question as you mention GPA. |
I'll have to ask my DC but the GPA is in the resume, yes, I know from all the resumes I've seen while hiring in my field. |
Chesapeake Shipbuilding is hiring electricians.

Happens all the time It’s gross and unethical |
I was laid off after a year from my first job in the early 90s. It was the best kick in the pants ever. I eventually ended up in a different field, earning much more and also much happier in that field. I live by the "one door shuts, another opens" motto, and I'm not normally a "glass is half full" kind of person. But, you have to hustle. I was poor for a couple of years before I eventually found this new career. |
You are fooling no one. |
Disgusting! |
What does this mean? How is PP fooling us? |
