Job Title: Computer programmers Submitted by by Bill (07-May-08)
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.

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)

I am an accounting major, but I hate it. My parents forced me to major in accounting. I am not going to change major now, because I will be graduating soon.
I'm thinking about just starting my own e-commerce business. I have a few sites now, but I'm thinking about going big ...

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.

Job Title: Librarians Submitted by by Charlie Gross (13-Dec-07)
Overal Job Rating:
What I like best about being a librarian is helping people use the library resources. I try to be outgoing by establishing eye contact with patrons and asking them if they need assistance. There is so much to teach the public about libraries, and there are so many resources available. From finding a book on the shelf to using the Internet, people need help, but they often don’t ask for it. You have to be outgoing.

The Rich, Taxes, and Why it Just Doesn’t Matter
The recent “cone of silence” presidential debate raised the question of what income level constitutes being “rich” in the U.S. The problem with that question is that it’s a regional issue, not a national one. The cost of living in New York City is a little bit different than the cost of living in
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

Without the proper order of your tasks, it is likely that you will get bogged down in areas that are
