[quote=deadzone][quote=David J]My interview was July, 2008 (still have all the email correspondence). I was deployed to Iraq for well over a year and got back home in July of 2007. At that time, for my specialty, it was very common to be deployed again shortly after returning and I would constantly get warnings that my name was on a deployment list.

As soon as I got back the company I worked at while I was deployed just made everything so difficult. The company was based out of Los Angeles.[/quote]

It sounds like they were maybe just trying to makes excuses not to hire you. The real reason is most likely for fear of you being mobilized. The whole politics argument is non-sense, still unbelievable they would admit that to you.[/quote]

She didn’t need to make any excuse aside from saying, “we’ll let you know one way or other what we decide.” This was at the end of my last interview of the day and she just voluntarily told me this. It isn’t like I had asked her when I start or anything; it was completely out of the blue.

I have three children (2 boys and 1 girl); all three are strong in math and all three are in SDUSD. I’ve watched advanced math quickly fall out of favor in the district and from the looks of it, the problem will get worse. I’m hoping I’ll be able to enroll them in community college math courses, but we’ll see.

Since a lot of this thread has been about hiring biases, I’ll share my own personal anecdote. I’m Jewish, but I’m not sure it is very obvious from looking at me. Several years after college (same alma mater as Coronita) and during a stint in the Army Reserves, I decided I needed to leave my private sector software engineering job for something in government as the company I worked for really hated the fact that I had to take time off on occasion as part of my Army Reserve obligation.

One of my interviews was with a department at UCSD for a job that my experience lined up with quite well. The interview went really well from my point of view… The technical questions were cake and there really didn’t seem to be any problems. At the end of the interview, the female Asian department head thanked me for coming, but said that my military background would cause problems because the staff is very liberal and conservatives would not fit in with the other employees. I was taken aback for a couple of reasons. First, I couldn’t believe she was admitting this, and second, I was, politically, very much a liberal! I didn’t see a point in arguing with her, so I left. This incident to this day upsets me and has left me with a really bad taste toward academia.

You can check for yourself. There seem to be some people that have a base salary of $60k and then in the most recent year have $70k of “other pay.” I’m guessing those people retired that year and cashed in all of their sick leave or something along those lines. I have no idea how their pension is computed.

I believe someone already mentioned it, but I think you can find close to what you are looking for in Del Cerro.
