I hate my job!

MDS · December 11, 2009, 12:11:57 AM

probably 30-40ish range.

its not a good job by any stretch of the imagination. but i enjoy it. so much so that im probably going to grad school next fall or winter if i cant hit on something. and there is something brewing, with mlb.com doing phils stuff, which i will speak on if it works out.

Print media outlets pay crap. And as of the past few years, they are all having financial problems, and job security is terrible.

what is this 1990? Id rather sell pretzels on the bridge than work for a low 20K job with a college degree. step it up son.

the last nats beat writer was openly not a baseball fan so you have that going for you.

i dont want low 20s but whatever helps me get in the door/closer to havas

that's the one thing about the media, especially the print side that sucks rectum. it's a bitch just to even get in the door and when you do, you get table scraps for wages. but as long as they throw a great company christmas party, you should be ok.

A few years ago I got laid off and was collecting unemployment. I don't remember the exact amount of the checks but I'm pretty sure they equated to about 19k/year. Just for the sake of comparison...

MDS · December 11, 2009, 12:47:04 PM

yea, but ill get to watch the nats play baseball. cant put a price tag on that.

rjs246 · December 11, 2009, 01:05:37 PM

I could have watched baseball until my farging face turned green. I was unemployed.

phattymatty · December 11, 2009, 01:14:14 PM

at what point during baseball watching does your face turn green?

rjs246 · December 11, 2009, 01:21:14 PM

Very early on, in my case.

A lot faster with the Nats than with any other team.
