Man, you guys are fired up! Keep it up. Its good entertainment.
[quote=bearishgurl][quote=jstoesz] . . . . I just met up with an old friend who graduated with the civil engineering degree. He lost his job recently in the private sector, and just got a job in the public sector. Guess what he’s making more then he did in the private sector, a lot more. He rides around a few days a week in a large 40k 4 x 4 Ford that’s brand-new, thanks Katrina for your levee caused freak out And that’s just salary I’m not talking pension here! Wake up CAR we’re getting fleeced, at least my buddy knows that he is riding the gravy train. That’s all I ask of public sector employees, a little gratitude![/quote]
jstoesz, if your “buddy” just obtained a public position (in the state of LA?) he has yet to be “vested” and there is a chasm between his potential for a “fat pension” and his actually being in a position to begin collecting it.
jstoesz, aren’t YOU a “civil engineer?” The State of LA beckons and undoubtedly needs your help. Why haven’t YOU applied to any of those jobs? Perhaps the living conditions there may not be to you or your spouse’s liking or taste??
I’ll leave it at that …. ;=]
LA is the most political state in the country, IMO, especially NOW.[/quote]
No, he works in Sac.
Fun Fact: Sacramento’s risk of flooding is the greatest of any major city in the country.
I graduated with a Mechanical Degree, but I could probably go into some sort of civil field. I am just not real interested in the work, nor do I plan on staying in the state much longer. My next job is more likely to be in MN.
