I'm arguing your point, but to me engineering is pretty difficult. I guess I don't have the smarts for those things (and the medical field). Much harder than what I do. When people ask, I usually tell them where I work and they're like "whoa cool" and then I try to leave as soon as possible. Because if I tell them what I do there they'd be like "oh... ok... that's cool man... .... ...."
I picked 2. It's amazing how much money you can get just with basic computer skills and talking. I am always surprised to find simple $ million mistakes by computer people, because they are not talking or listening to others. I just write SQL select queries and ask questions all day. For a 3, I am sure the jobs are much more difficult than what I do. I am sure the 3's are making 6 figures. Edit: I added more details.
I'm pretty sure anyone in science or business-related fields who didn't take pre-calc in high school took it in college. I voted 3. I think there are a lot of people who could work in public accounting, but not very many who care to. Though there are probably a lot of people who couldn't handle busy season or the CPA exam, so I dunno.
I dunno- my parents are accountants and they never took it. Some people on here don't know the order of operations.
I write SQL select queries to pull data. It's the same set of commands, but different datasets every day. I learned basic SQL from 2-3 books. It's mind numbing. The only interesting thing is finding money. About every 2 months, I find a $ million in recoverable funds from vendors or other sources. It is either money that shouldn't have been paid or money that was never transferred over. I make less than $100k. I have received almost $50k raise in the past 4 years by learning SQL and changing companies.
<br> My senior year of high school I took 4 AP classes (which included calc and bio II) like a lot of other people I knew so uh what you're describing is honestly nothing. That's a good way to be overconfident and then get smacked in the face with reality during later years of college and when you get a real job. on topic: I work in retail atm while I finish up school and honestly it can be extremely difficult at times. Other times not so much. So i'd say about a 3.
Probably around the 3 or 4 level. I'm a community college science instructor. While you can find other people with these skills, it's relatively rare, and many either don't know how to run a class or don't want to be there. Most of my possible competition for these jobs either teaches at a four-year college for more ego gratification and prestige, does research (more money/ more toward a lot of people's interests), or doesn't have as high of an advanced degree. Oddly, I feel that my job is super easy, but I've been doing it what seems like forever.
I didn't realize other people took such rigorous loads. My school only lets you take 2 APs per year and has a quota on how many kids take the test.
Also my post was more intended to deride those who seem to lack basic skills and knowledge in math, history, and english rather than to toot for my own horn. I'm terrible at science, and I'm sure my 21st century upbringing will hamper my ability to adjust to college and real employment.
2 APs and pre-cal? That is weak. You need to be taking 6 ap classes or you will be working at McDonalds.
Well, McDonald's turned me down (along with 10 other places) for a summer job, so I guess I'll be sleeping under an overpass and begging for change in Kiev or something like that.
2/5. Operations geosteering is akin to pattern matching with some understanding of what the formation is doing (thickening, faulting, folding, etc). 90% of the job is communicating with the operations team.
You could always turn tricks on the street. I think you can get $50 for making out. Or is that just in LA?
I drive BigTexxx to work and back everyday. It's seriously stressful and dude never tips. He also smells like Karate cologne and Old Spice.
