Are we supposed to include travel reimbursements? Because I probably get ~$20k/year for food, gas, and other travel expenses.
Software Engineer, 110k, not bad for pittsburgh. waiting for my SO to finish med school so I can retire
I'm not special list the rest of you. I'm a Desktop Support Technician (or whatever you want to call it,really) and I make $45k.
Thats good enough for me right now. I can't afford to live on my own yet because the cost of living is high and I want to pay off my student loans before I get my own place. I really don't want that debt swinging over me when I'm trying to pay $1500 for rent down here
Anyway, this is not where I want to be long term. I am studying to become a Network Engineer. I am working on the CCNA right now and I expect to have it by the end of the year.
If you feel like relocation, Omaha's tech sector is booming and we have an incredibly low cost of living. Property taxes are a bit on the higher side but that is offset by savings elsewhere.
Omaha is cool city really. Didn't realize how much I missed it until I moved away. Tons of parks, golf courses, live bands, ect. Crappy part is that it's HOURS away from anything else. Literally *NOTHING* around it.

The arctic wind ruined it for me. I was there once and I literally could not wait to leave. I rushed a 2 day job into less than 10 hours.
Says the guy from Michigan.
That tells you how bad it was.
I can handle the cold just fine. But that wind blew right into my bones. Add in the fact that people only drove 50-55 on the highway and I hated that city.
I do healthcare application support. It's a wide range of stuff from project managing installs and upgrades, to break/fix stuff, to installing servers, and just about any other thing that needs to be addressed.
62k a year. On call every third week and it's a life sucking drain on me. Salaried and don't get paid extra for call hours.
Up shot is nice benefits. Great 401k match and free higher education for me and my kids. There's some also nice fringe benefits that come with the employer that are not possible to get other places.
Don't know about that. I-80 is speedway outside of the morning rush. In the morning depending on direction you are heading it's taking your life into your own hands. There's *A LOT* of traffic between the river and the 680 interchange. That's like 7 lanes of traffic once you count the merge lanes in a few places. Going 70+ MPH.
As far as wind...welcome to a bluff town in the midwest. They are all like that.
So, about 25% of us here make $150K/yr++
Impressive.
People with pharmacy degrees also work in hospitals (dispensing medication to staff, helping design treatments, giving medication directly to patients...) and in pharmaceuticals (research, clinical trials, etc...). They're not just the person checking over a tech in a CVS.Tech types prescription
Tech prints label
Tech finds medicine on shelf and labels correct quantity of medicine
Pharmacist makes sure the drug that the tech typed is the same as the drug the doctor wrote. Pharmacist makes sure directions, days supplly, refills, and all other details are correct/valid.
Pharmacist checks your RX history, to see if there are any interactions and risks (often there is an automated process that runs this check that gives the pharmacist the list of red and yellow flags ....)
Then, once they are sure that the prescription is valid, and that its filled correctly, and that its not going to interact with something else you take, and hopefully after they make sure its not going to interact with any drug allergies you have, then they are able to consider it "ready for pickup".
In Addition, they often consult with the customers about the drug, side effects, and anything else important to make sure the patient knows how to use the medicine safely, and that they are informed about possible risks.
Often they are taking prescriptions dictated by doctors over the phone as well.
And, since pharmacists are highly skilled, and highly paid, they generally have 1 pharmacist on staff most places at any one given time (other than shift overlaps between morning and night crew)
So what happens is the pharmacist is busy in the morning for a rush, then slow until lunch, then it is slow until people start getting off from work. Then from like 5pm until 7pm, they wind up getting 600 customers all at the same time ....
You have good, great, bad and terrible pharmacists.
The ones who say there is an hour wait, they are usually not the terrible ones.
The terrible ones are the ones who do not double check every step. The terrible ones are the ones that have a 5 minute wait all the time, even when there are 60 people in line.
Anyhow, unless its a prescription from the ER, why not just drop off the script on the way home from work or the doctor or whatever, and then pick it up the next day or whenever you pass by the pharmacist later on? you dont have to wait on site.
If you love your kid you will dissuade him from practicing law of any sort.
Not kidding.
I'll put it this way - I've been practicing law for about 15 years now. In that 15 years I have not met a single attorney that truly enjoys their job. Oh sure, they enjoy the money. But none of them enjoy the job . . . not even slightly.
