Just curious about MacNNer careers. Check your occupation category and your salary!

So you're going to bulk together someone in the hospitality industry like a bellman or someone who works at the gap with an attorney? That's like $7 an hour versus $70
I am not sure how they relate but I think this poll is flawed as well.

Sure it's all public service. The salary section is at the bottom! It made sense in my twisted mind anyway.
P.S. I'm starting a job teaching chemistry at a community college in September.

Picked Education as that was the closest to student on that list. Also picked less than 25,000 but that's a pretty high number compared to what I actually make.

Oh and this job is not as interesting as it sounds like! I didn't design this airplane!
It's just like any other engineering job, maybe even more boring!
I'm looking forward to 2005 though because by then the first one should (hopefully) be flying and landing just next to my office (about 100m)

That 1st category groups some strange bed partners.
I'm a senior engineer at a big Canadian utility. I also run my own small consulting firm. My most important and potentially rewarding job is that of dad to my 3 year old daughter Sara.

That would be nice. I'm a data analyst in a lab that studies the effects of mind-altering drugs. Your chemical background would be complementary to our behavioral approach.

Nope, it's French-German-British, IIRC...
I don't know what role the Brits play, the large Airbus mfg sites are in France and Germany.
