Yeah, no I'm not thinking of doctors. I'm thinking more along the lines of office work. There are a lot of programs and offices in the Portland city government that are specifically on my mind. I wasn't thinking on a Federal level, but you make a good point.
I took an archeology class last year, i enjoyed it but don't really think i would enjoy it that much as a career.
Hey, if i could get decent money for that, i would be the best damn civil war reenacter this side of the Mississippi!
Database manager was a pretty good one listed earlier. Man are those folks in demand out there. And nobody understands you, they just know you're valuable.
Get a teamster job like me. Going to school doesn't mean shit anymore, a lot of people are getting degrees and can't find jobs in their fields. Job security has meant more than it ever has before.
Sociology BA, stats minor. My profession will be unemployed sports geek ripping on John Hollinger's formulas all day.
Do it! I just read that there is like a freeze on USPS hiring cause they don't need anymore people or something..
agree, Bachelor's degrees are basically what high school diplomas were 15 years ago. Just as long as you have one, it does open door for interviews....things like trade schools aren't bad if you're into that stuff. probably won't get super baller but you'll do ok.
UPS is always hiring. Tough job though, you need to have a little hair on your chest to stick around. Great company to work for. FedEx also just built a huge plant out in Troutdale and I know they're hiring a ton of people.
It takes a lot to become a UPS driver. You can't just walk in and get that job. They make you slave away in the warehouses for a few years first.
