So you're going to bulk together someone in the hospitality industry like a bellman or someone who works at the gap with an attorney? That's like $7 an hour versus $70

I am not sure how they relate but I think this poll is flawed as well.

Oh, I teach chemistry at a small college.

Sure it's all public service. The salary section is at the bottom! It made sense in my twisted mind anyway.

P.S. I'm starting a job teaching chemistry at a community college in September.
#19 Thu, 8 Jul 2004 - 22:18 MacNN
Should have had student as a selection.
#20 Thu, 8 Jul 2004 - 22:21 MacNN
Students can check their career-plan, howbout!
#21 Thu, 8 Jul 2004 - 22:24 MacNN
That'd probably work

Ya, must be horrible to play the sport you love all day and get paid well for it. Poor dudes.
#23 Thu, 8 Jul 2004 - 23:21 MacNN
Picked Education as that was the closest to student on that list. Also picked less than 25,000 but that's a pretty high number compared to what I actually make.

Oh and this job is not as interesting as it sounds like! I didn't design this airplane!
It's just like any other engineering job, maybe even more boring!
I'm looking forward to 2005 though because by then the first one should (hopefully) be flying and landing just next to my office (about 100m)

That 1st category groups some strange bed partners.

I'm a senior engineer at a big Canadian utility. I also run my own small consulting firm. My most important and potentially rewarding job is that of dad to my 3 year old daughter Sara.

That would be nice. I'm a data analyst in a lab that studies the effects of mind-altering drugs. Your chemical background would be complementary to our behavioral approach.

IT/Mgmt Consulting for Fed clients.

I wouldn't be at this job if uncle sam had any clue on how to run their own agencies.

I help design this as an engineer:

Wow, according to the poll, half of the people earn more than 50k a year.

Didn't expect that...

Nope, it's French-German-British, IIRC...

I don't know what role the Brits play, the large Airbus mfg sites are in France and Germany.

Hey, that's like an Apple employee (me, of course) meeting a Microsoft employee (him, of course), except that it's not 95% vs. 3%!
