Having taken both the LSAT and the CFA, the LSAT is a walk in the park.

Journalism seems to get a stability rap more than money rap. If you were working at The Daily you’d likely have gotten laid off last month.

journalism gets a bad rap moneywise. when i left the daily in 2002, i was making just over 50k/yr

no clue what it would be now. just before i left they started making 5% paycuts, then later laying folks off

“You’re not stupider than a monkey are you?”

“Well how big of a monkey?”

The job is repetitive tasks, with only some minor decision making and improvisation. So…maybe the monkey from that new NBC show could do my job?

My problem is I have no idea what else I’m qualified to do. I feel like you could get a fucking chimp to do my job.

I’ll be fine. If she does med school (wants to be an abortion doctor) and we’re still together it means I’m doing my PhD at the same time, and having already done two graduate degrees, I’m used to dealing with emotional trainwrecks.

Lotsa learnin’ up in that relationship.

Yeah, I’m making about 43 per in STL. I can’t stand the job most days, don’t like most of the people, and think the profession is not what I hoped/wanted it to be. (TV journalism). The wife got promoted to GM of a movie theater and with her bonuses, she’ll now be making more than me. She’s really good at her job (saved the theater over 100k in less than a month of being head honcho) and loves what she does.

If I could go back in time, I’d tell college me, “listen you little shit, you’re talking architecture classes and other labor stuff! That drama/communications degree won’t get you jack shit!”

Mr. C – solid question that I’ve thought about many times. I want the work I do to be meaningful. my job doesn’t define me, but the meaningfulness does define my job satisfaction. I have no other option than to work, so if I’m not personally satisfied with the type of work I get, then what the fuck did I spend 8 years in school to do and why am I spending 50-60 hours a week working/commuting?

That’s a better way of putting it, I think. I wonder the same thing, but ultimately reach the conclusion that because I have to work, I need to find where satisfactory time demand meets reasonable compensation.

I didn’t spend any extra time in school to get my job, but I did get a professional certification and work is the single largest thing that I spend time on.

ha. I hope you’re prepared for 4-6 years of her emotional roller coaster if she does well on it and gets into med school.

Most irritating “new workplace culture” thing: employees that are looked down upon for “only” working 40 hours a week
I work 7:30-4 and I’m out that door at 3:59 everyday.

7:30-5. Out at 11:30 on Fridays.

I didn’t mind the LSAT at all. I’m sure it’s changed a bunch since I took it, though.
