What's new

What do Jazzfanz do professionally (...assuming they have jobs) ?

I'm just a lowly little operations manager at a Maverik. Lol

Well, I've had a change in job status from employed to unemployed. I could use a few jobs leads.

I spent 6 years in the Navy as a Fire Controlman https://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjob1/a/fc.htm and then 5 1/2 years as an Equipment and Process Technician in the semiconductor industry. I specialize in troubleshooting, maintenance, repair and operation of complex automated equipment. I have good verbal and written communication skills. I excel in a self-directed work environment. I have excellent organization and prioritization abilities. I work well with others. I'm a nice guy and people usually like working with me.
 
Gameface, sorry, dude. That's gotta be rought.

Anyways, if I were you, I'd try to get on at the espionage center they're building in Bluffdale. Sounds like you'd be a good fit. (coming from a guy who really has no idea what a good fit for those guys would be - just assuming.)
 
That sucks GF.

I know a few people who work at US Synthetic in Orem and love their jobs. I don't know if they have what you're looking for though. They make diamond drill bits from carbon and I'm under the impression it's not as automated as a semiconductor manufactory would be. https://www.ussynthetic.com/
 
I'm on the last rotation of my third year of medical school. I'll be applying for residency in a few months and am leaning toward psychiatry, though I've considered a few other fields passively and am on cardiology right now trying to rule out internal medicine.

There was some skewed info given earlier about going to medical school not being worth it. There are a number of intangible perks that don't get mentioned, such as job security. Not the type of job security that you'll have employment, but the type where you can dictate where you want to live and still make a salary within a specific range. Comparing it to a PhD is apples and car batteries. Publish or parish is the name of the game in academia. I can't think of any other field that you get out of it exactly what you put in. What I mean by that is that in medicine, how far you go depends on you and what you invest. While this can be true to some extent in other fields, the amount of luck necessary to do well in medicine is much, much less than other fields like law or business or 90% of other fields where having a string of good luck vs. bad luck can be the difference between huge success and unemployment. There's a huge investment upfront, such as minimum 7 years post college, but it's not all bad. You may make 50k in residency, but depending on your field and program you can moonlight which typically pays $80-$100/hr. You will accrue massive amounts of debt (I've got almost 200k with a year left) but there are a lot of different angles to look at.

Chiropractic was mentioned and you'd have as much success (financially) if you were to just get a BS in business. Oh, and on that note, a bachelors in any of the sciences is pretty worthless on its own, so comparing between any life sciences degrees is splitting hairs.

Unless you're talking about the construction side of it, he won't be working there for a while. Last I heard, the goal was to build it in three years. They didn't break ground until late 2010 or maybe even 2011.

Oh, and that sucks Gameface.

Yeah, I was a little excited at first, now I'm a little nervous. I think things will work out one way or another, but it sucks looking for a job.
