Also, be paitient as like anything with the GOV (unless you owe money) they move pretty damn slow. Again, fell free to ask anything

Thanks, KSAs suck. I know how slow the gov can be. I tried to become a secret service agent, got all the way to the polygraph (2nd to last step) and after that got a letter saying there were more qualified applicants. Whole process took 6 months.

I am the janitor in an ivory tower when I'm not indoctrinating impressionable young minds with a left wing, socialist agenda. In other words, I'm a university prof.

I am the assistant controller for a private real estate/construction company in NEPA.

At least your proud enough to admit what you do. And I respect you for it.

macpappy · 11-05-2008, 06:30 AM

I'm on my third career.
1st career was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard for 21 years. Retired as a Senior Chief Petty Officer.

2nd career was for 10 years as the managing editor for a monthly hunting and fishing magazine owned by a small printing company.

Currently I am a sole proprietor LLC specializing in designing print advertising for grocery stores. (You know, those sales papers you get in the newspaper telling you who has Ribeye steaks on sale for $5.99 lb.)

I have no shame in being a janitor.

As for the indoctrination ... I don't discuss politics with students since I don't teach political science, nor do I have an agenda.

I think outsiders would be surprised at how conservative faculty are in colleges of agriculture, where many were raised on farms or in small towns, compared to the liberal arts "I teach poetry" types.

11-05-2008, 08:29 AM

I've done a lot of stuff in my short working days. However, right now I work for TexCigars.com doing orders and customer service and whatnot.

DavenportESQ · 11-05-2008, 08:48 AM

Yea, but your curriculum kicks ass!

As for me, I provide management & health IT support services to physician offices.

In short Im a noise/vibration consulting Engineer, who formerly worked primarily in the automotive field and now...doesn't?

I'll be honest. I don't think being a Janitor would be that bad of a job. Hell, I'd do it. You clean and don't have to help customers or anything, just work and do your thing.

Factory rat.

I work for an evil, soul-sucking corporation molding plastic auto parts. Job itself is cool, dealing with all the corporate BS is not.
