Wow, bro..that's awesome! If you make that much in 6 months...you'd be in the 6 figure range if you do it the whole year.

I'm going to graduate in about a year with a BS, at this point I'm not sure if I'm going to continue full time with my grad school. Or if I'mgoing to get a full time job and go to school part time. The range of my field is pretty wide, so I'm not heart set on anything particular yet. I'dprobably start off small as a hygiene specialist or health inspector and work up to owning a small firm.

The push to a Masters degree program only went into effect for OT since last year, it is not yet mandatory to have a doctorate for recent grads..maystill be a few years off for OT. I know about the push towards Doctorates for PT's and frankly I think it's a good thing. Although, I have talked toquite a few OTs and PTs who have no respect for the fact that we are coming inot the job market with a higher level of schooling than they have. If it makes usmore marketable as therapists I say why the hell not.

I lost the interest, but still loved science so I went toenvironmental health. Good luck on the DCAT!
 
Props to all yall thats going to school. i hope yall have good jobs when yall get done. i know if i would have went to college i would be getting paid betterbut school isnt for me, i hated it. i just work at some manufacturing/production place pressing buttons all day and being on NT. paid lunches, good benefits,pretty good 401k. there is crazy amounts of OT i just dont like doing it too much. id rather just chill at home with the kids. trying to buy a house but iwanna save at least 1 or 2 years of mortgage payments for the "just in case" thing.
 
i have a Bachelor's in Music and i am currently the operations manager at Seagate Technology.
 
^ heavy manufacturing? good for you; which industry for only 6 mos./year? hopefully you become a supervisor or use the money as a starting point for somethingelse, because you probably won't retire from a floor job. i'm not down on you, i'm just from a city that's got a ton of people who started in ajob like that, got laid off, and now can't find anything like what they had. if that's not a concern, i'm a bit jealous :tongue:

me personally, i'm going to finish my b.a. this year. i don't know what i'm going to do with it immediately, but i want to start law schooleventually (like in the next two or three years)

Naw not heavy manufacturing. The only thing i really lift is a clip board. alot of old dudes that i work with used to be supervisors but said they hated it

they would rather just work and not have to worry nothing else. Layoffs????. i survived like 4 lay offs and i only been working there for 4 years. our company is going to do $4 BILLION expansion in the next few years. ( thingshave been picking up alot in the last 2 years ). so im not really worried about being laid off since my department is the foundation of the company.
