Job Title: Computer programmers
Overal Job Rating:

For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless, and then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things.
They are, in short, a perfect match.

Job Title: Computer programmers
Overal Job Rating:

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. (Bill Gates)
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)
The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible. Universes of virtually unlimited complexity can be created in the form of computer programs. (Joseph Weizenbaum)

Job Title: Librarians
Overal Job Rating:

I came to librarianship mid-life and I am still puzzled as to why it took me so long to find my profession: it's a natural for me. I had always been the type to organize things (trips, closets, procedures, etc.) and to encourage people to find out everything they could about topics they were interested in -- not to mention also being a voracious reader.

High Credit Scores Give Consumers and Job Seekers Leverage in a Weak Economy
As the economic climate continues to get worse for most working Americans, debts are mounting along with the overall cost of living. It’s tempting in times like these to let a payment slip on a credit card or simply overlook a few months of cable bills, since you know it takes them awhile to actually


Real Estate Market, Like the Economy, is in the Eye of…
What, no great ending to that simile? I’ve mentioned before that I am, among other things, a real estate investor. It’s part of my job, or what I “do” for a living. Though it is not my primary profession - at least not yet - it does occupy a fair amount of my time and produces


Weekend Fishing, Pygmy Goats and General Friday Nonsense
I can’t say that this post will relate to employment in any way, but I’ll try… Thus far today I’ve done very little work myself, instead spending most of my time gathering fishing equipment, putting some 6-lb. test on my girlfriend’s light-action fishing rod, packing a bag and doing some laundry. That’s “kind of” working, but


When Time is Limited, Priority is Everything
When faced with a time crunch at work or at home, whether it’s a major project deadline or just getting some things done quickly, prioritizing your objectives is the first thing that must be accomplished. Without the proper order of your tasks, it is likely that you will get bogged down in areas that are


Maryland Should Ban Crabbing and Support Watermen, Crab Industry Workers
I’ll readily admit that I don’t know every detail of the “negotiations” happening between Maryland government and the commercial watermen who depend on the Chesapeake Bay for their livelihood. But having lived in Maryland for over 30 years and witnessed firsthand the continued decline of the Bay and its once-abundant wildlife, you don’t have to
