    So there are very few people who do what I do for a living and there are literally head hunters who go around recruiting people with my experience. Well I gained all this experience working for a local vendor who pays shit salary $28k/yr and was contacted by a VERY well known company who has an office in Nashville and they just offered me $50,000/yr plus 100% covered health insurance and 30 days off a year. BOOM! Snap said yes.

    I would tell you guys the name of the company but this is the internet and people are fucked up. But its been in the "Top 100 Companies To Work For" list for the past 12 years.

    Anyways, im stoked. I dropped out of college after 3 years and moved to Vegas and have never gone back to get my degree so $50,000k/yr with a company that I could EASILY move up in and retire from is ah-mazing for me.

    WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    You've successfully cornered the Hallmark leave inappropriate but not TOOOOOO inappropriate market of notes eloquently written but brash inside of a decorative card on car windshields?

    Will you still have time to post threads about music I've never heard of so I can easily click the red x button?

    Big congrats - sounds like you hit the lottery for college drop outs (other than Bill Gates type lottery)

    infact, I'll have more time, cause I will no longer be working 60-70/hrs a week for my current employer. strict 40/hrs a week cause its all internal, no more clients.

    That's great! Congrats on the new job. For first time in my professional career (except for when i owned my own company) I'm working for a company that treats its employees well and it the absolute nuts.

    Oh, and if only a few people in the country can do your job then you're the worst negotiator in history for that salary. :-)

    Does this job have to do with Managment Information Systems? had a speaker come into class and talk about it's rising popularity and increasing salaries. Worth taking a look at as potenial major? I have taken Finance and Econ classes that would probably mostly all transfer over. Are most the jobs sitting at a computer all day processing, organizing data etc..?
