Not sure what that means but it sounds cool.

Not to mention, why not get rid of the Dog, the Cat, the hamster, the gerbils.. they add up, too.. but wait.. life would be quite boring without them. So, I'll take quality of life and doing something to relieve stress vs. worrying about whether or not im hitting that 5-7%.

Same.

My only investment is owning a home. I figure if I add $100 each month I could knock down like 20k at the end of the 30 years in interest. Which is basically a full years wages at minimum wage..

I'm not making anything close to that, where I live I don't think it's possible to make that much as a tech, the industry is too flooded and people work for nothing and companies are giving jobs away.

Literally a begger who washes cars infront of smart and final is making more than me (I asked what his daily motel fee was and multiplied..).

We use to just go through 100 temps a year (staff of 100-150). Now we do a few hundred. Factory work.. work takes advantage knowing they'll work for cheap.

I told the general manager that Henry Ford realized if he paid above minimum wage he'd make more money. Because less would leave and less money would be spent on training. Henry Ford would go through 100 people to get 1 that would stay. Until they changed.

Plus it's super easy for a new person to make a mistake... I've seen it a ton of times where they make 16 hours worth of parts and they're all bad lol

One the guys I used to work with would tell people that it was a tool that would shoot rat poision into glass using bolts of ligthning. They usually would have a blank look after that. I like to think of it more like a gun where the voltage is like the gun powder and the ionized atom is like the bullet. The things are about the size of a one car garage and weigh around 35,000lbs.

In reality it is a tool used to enbed a dopant into a silicone wafer at a percise depth using high voltage and ionizing the dopant atoms. The high voltage or energy changes depending on what depth it is needed for that recipe. The wafer has a photo resist covering all parts of the wafer where the dopant is not wanted. This is one of the processes for creating the integrated circuits. The factory where I work is mostly making IC's for automotive applications.

I'm a Pedi RN at Texas Children's Hospital. Did the bedside RN, charge RN, mentor, preceptor thing for years and then decided to combine my love for computers with nursing...so I'm a Sr. System Analyst working on EPIC (electronic medical record) and am currently building for Beacon (Epic's hem/onc functionality).

I interned at TriQuint Semiconductors (now Qorvo) while in college. They asked me back after I graduated, but location didn't work with my now wife's already secured position (she's also a ChemE). Some of the coolest work I've done though. Working at a smelter with a 74+ kA electrowinning process is pretty cool too, I guess. ;-)

High school teacher - Guitar to be specific. Not high paying but easily the best job ever as I get a salary to play guitar all day and teach others to love it as much as I do.

What is that? Can you tell me a bit more about it? The reason I chose Clinical Informatics is because it combined nursing and computers.
