hmmm..most lawyers I deal with get paid in advance for their work...they leave us accountants to struggle to collect A/R.

The ups and downs of teaching:

Ups:

The kids.
Their parents.
Retirement pension is okay.

Downs:

The kids.
Their parents.
The salary stinks.  No personal savings after 25 years.

I'm unemployed after 3+ years at a company that just did a reorg (french for firing). 400 of us got the axe.

So I currently hate my job.

OTOH, I do enjoy my field (network/system admin).

Anyone here do their own computer consulting work? I'd like to shoot the breeze with you esp. if you're on the east coast.

My job? Sure, I love it...I love it when the old bastards actually eat their food without complaining that its 4.3 degrees too hot (I'm a server/host at a restaurant), when they don't seat themselves at any ole table, when they don't have to try 60 different tables just to want the first one I gave them, and when I don't generally feel like I'm working in a Stalinist-era munitions factory in Siberia, where the only way out is death. The pay? Yea, I love it... I mean, I just love it when a customer thanks my hour of sweat and labor serving them and leaves me $2 for their $50 dollar check...(anyone who doesn't adequetly tip servers is a bastard and needs to be shot in the stomach). The only "good" part of work is that I get to hear the manager (also an AH pilot) talk about how he blew my bellybutton out of the sky in the dueling arena (10 times) the other month...

Well...my coworkers are nice...at least...

Did I mention I love my job?

My dream job is dipping minnows at a marina for $5 bucks an hour....don't want to take their money, just take my little net and scoop up a dozen minnows for em.

My second dream job is to be a greeter at Walmart.

Perhaps I have too much responsibility, ya think?

Work is a four letter word. Like toejam, diddly and golf; it brings to mind visions of hopeful endeavors tainted by aggravation that usually always exceed the fleeting rewards.

Unless yer ripsnort... or yah got a hooopity kewl job changing valve stems at the local dildo store; in which case you'd no doubt be a prude, and gay. Oh, hell; theres rip again.

I'm my own boss, and the company I have with my fiancée is going well (crosses fingers), and the outlook is even better.

For now I'm quite content. :)

I love mine.  

Going to trial, working to help victims, trying to help the juveniles and occasionally seeing one of them turn themselves around.

The main downside is the fact that lately I've gotten a slew of child-molest cases.  I'm working 5 of them right now.

What Shuckins said. I teach computer apps at the local high school, and it is pretty cool. If I only had to deal with kids, things would be perfect. Kids are easy to handle compared to...

Like my career, hate the punk-ass media company that employs me currently. Editorial (I'm a writer/editor) isn't important to the great leader, all you need are blank pages and the right circulation model to sell ads apparently. Maybe his insightful business sense is why he managed to whittle his media empire down from 60 magazines to some 20 in the course of a few years (without any ROI in the process). I've seen him kill of literally hundreds of years of magazine history (during the bubble period no less) with the greatest of ease. Nice pay cut across the board recently too, but he can still take a four month vacation to France as he shares in our hardship.

Still, I telecommute, and if I don't leave for a competitor soon I will likely do some consulting in PR to help round out the salary situation. Or just give up journalism and go back to PR full time and make some frickin' $$$.
