    Default What do you do. How much do you get paid?

    Self Explanatory. I'm just really bummed out about being unemployed for so long. So I want to know exactly how well everyone has it.

    Which QT do you work at? I'm an extra relief clerk and they've been sending me FAR away lately, I wonder why...? Before I used to be doubled up at 740 all the damn time.

    734. ER personnel seem to be driving far lately. they send the closest one available, so im assuming its because a lot of people are getting sick/vacation, or there just arent as many ER employees as there used to be. im assuming the latter.

    no sir. not really a fan of b concourse, and ive been on a south for the last 2 bids, dont really know. im moreso concerned about the hours though, so i can find a part-time/full-time elsewhere.

    What did you apply for? I know they are trying to push people through training as quickly as they can cause we really need people on the floor to try to make it up to our yearly quotas.

    Go to school, work your ass off and make it happen. That's what I did. I never aspired to be what I am now but it certainly works out just fine for me.

    I didn't graduate from college with any specific goal (as in the perfect job, I really just wanted to be secure and happy), I just found what worked for me and went for it. But I'll tell you one thing, you have to work for it. You have to always do more than the person next to you, always stand out. I was the ONLY person in the entire finance division of my company (worldwide) to get a raise this year and I intend on working my ass off to make it happen again next year and the year after that.

    Salary.. .well.. it pays the bills

    I've looked on Craigslist, yahoo, monster and snagajob. I've been mostly around the Gwinnett area(Duluth,Suwanee,Lawrenceville) Gwinnett Place Mall and Discover Mills. No luck at all. Making that resume doesn't seem like a bad idea though. thanks

    You'll probably want to go for your bachelors. May even want to go for CPA. It's a hell of a lot of time and work but it's pretty much a guaranteed job for the rest of your life. Work in public for a couple of years, it's awful but I think it's the best experience you can get.

    yea like me.. I have my associates and two bachelors (1 in accounting and 1 in Management) but you can always get your feet wet early.. like i started working in Accounting since senior year of High school

    Currently i'm studying for my CPA exams.. it's ALOT of material and takes ALOT of time.. working full time and trying to study for the CPA is really stressing me

    Right now I'm a staff Accountant in a HR consulting firm.. Pay is decent.. def. pays the bills..

    Accounting is a GREAT field.. everyone needs an accountant..
