I love being a Nurse, and you don't have to be around sick people all day there are actual Public health positions which never deal with patients.

As for being a gremaphobe, don't worry, we all are, that's why we don't get sick often.


Haha that was funny.
How often do you deal with patients? And do you really only work 14 days a month?

One of my friends is a lawyer. She works with an attorney that went to Stanford. She went to Regent. They make the same pay.:|

what kind of law do they practice?

Your minor means absolutely nothing when it comes time to get a job.

Philosophy majors are the ones who come online and complain about how they just can't find a job at all...Well, DUH! You picked a useless liberal arts major with no application in the real world. May as well major in Latin, Art History, Humanities or some other pointless degree.

If you want to major in Philosophy but still have a fallback, you have to double major.

However, if it were me wanting to become a lawyer, I'd double major in Political Science and Business.

I realized that after a few hours of research LOL. One of my brothers is actually a double major, i believe business and finance. He graduates on the 10th of december.

Philosophy would only be my major to help me out on the LSAT and i believe i could get a high enough G.P.A. in philosophy to get into law school. Thats why i want to double major in philosophy and business now.

This is a good hangout thread. I just re-entered the work-force after 7 years as "self-employed".

F1 would be nice, but I just settled for $9/hr, +benefits. Beggars can't be choosers. Not bad after the better part of a decade with no verifiable work history. Good luck, OP. Follow your dreams, but listen to the advice of your older, more experienced, peers. Be a realist, a pragmatist.

Thanks. And good luck to you too, with the new job:thumb:.

12 hour shifts, 3-4 days a week. i squeeze in an extra day here and there, since it's about 800 a day for an overtime day.

Taxes eat me alive, but believe it or not, male nurses are quicker to be hired, and paid more than female nurses.

800$ in one day!? OMG...uhmmm can i have a job? :sneaky: haha.

:ohdamn: I didn't think about taxes..
 
Nurses in California Prisons make 8k a month?WTF
To Start, it's a State Job. So with that comes great benefits, retirement, and annual raises of 10%.

Nice huh?

I'll Clarify a Bit I'm An RN BSN with over 10 yrs xp. and have a Shift Supervisor position, the most I do all day is hand out Meds, and do basic triage. It's mostly a paperwork job.

You can definitely have a job, pretty much anywhere too, starting pay is between 28-35 per hour depending on what hospital, and area you work in. Night shift differentials are usually $5 per hour.

With 5 years of XP, especially in critical care you can....Work for LifeFlight, and be a chopper nurse, or a traveling nurse, and work all over the united states, for excellent, pay while they put you up in a sweet Apt, and Pay Per Diem.

There are Alot of opportunities, just takes a 5 yr Bio Degree, and a 2 yr RN program(some are accelerated and can be completed in 15 months <Cal State LA>)
 
How much is it different from here and canada? tax wise.

not too sure, but my 6 day (72 hr) check is $3380.88, after federal tax, alberta income tax, ei and cpp I have $2203.15 left over, then to complete my weekly pay I get a 1 day check (12 hr) $663.48 and after the same deductions ends up being $575.71. over the course of 3 weeks a month this quickly adds up,and after overtime we get hit even more on the deductions. I'm not sure what kind of taxes you guys pay in the states, hopefully its not as bad as we get hit. :ohdamn:
 
Are there any lawyers on this forum?:)sosad: i don't think there are) that can kind of help me out with some pointers?

Also i want to work in corporate law.
sorry for the long post..

Not a lawyer but a CPA with a few buddies who are lawyers. Law and accounting follow the same rules for making good money, work in a firm first (ie if you are a lawyer work in a law firm) for a few years busting your ass and when you're worn out you can go work for a company making much better money than if you just started working for a company where you are a necessity versus a revenue generator. I personally worked in a large accounting firm for 3+ years while a friend went through law school, at the end of those 3 years I was earning more because of my experience in the big firm. If he spent a few years in a big law firm he would be making much more

Random aside unemployment in the accounting field is currently <1%. Accounting and finance gas numbers and problem solving and every type of business needs accountants so you can really get a job in any industry
