    Yeah, that's what it's all about - money and respect. Personally I prefer to be able to respect myself. Who cares what other people think ? I program because I love it, it makes me more money than most people I know, but it's more important to me that I look forward to work. If you offered to double my salary for a job I hated, I'd laugh at you. Actually, I'm already laughing. dot com is bust ? What does that mean ? You don't want to work much, you want lots of money and you want respect ? I'd probably try to get a job as the Queen, or the Pope. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002
    C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002
    Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

        Dang. The first thing you need to do to get a job that pays well and that gives respect is learn how to spell. Career. Not carrers engineering. Not enginerring You might want to learn that it's "I", not "i", and "you", not "u", "thanks" not "thx", and "your" not "ur". And how about trying to form a complete thought in a single sentence? How are you ever going to get that "Piled Higher and Deeper"??? :-D Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

                I know a guy that got a job as a watercloset receptical evacuator designer. He said it doesn't look complicated, but that timing is everything. He had to perform quite a long-winded calculation for the task at hand, and he got paid a monstrous amount of money for his efforts. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                          I applied for the The Pope position, but they said I wasn't qualified because I didn't appear to have any experience in matters of sex. I got kind pissed and told em I would gladly have checked a box if they had one labelled like so:

                          Only with women of legal age/consent and without invoking the "wrath of God" clause if they refused my advances
                          Actually I knew I wasn't gonna get the job when I saw a box I couldn't check under the same section labelled:
                          Small children and other members of my parish (pant, pant, drool - YEAH BABY!)

                              Exactly the sort of experience I thought was a prerequisite for the job. Kind of explains why the whole 'Gee, I think I will choose a job where I can't have sex' idea didn't appeal to me.

                                      I think you should look for straight manual labor , as your typing and English skills don't see good enough to do anything technical. Regardz Colin J Davies

                                        If you are not doing something you like, you will not be dedicating yourself to something that others will respect you for. Most will be good paying if you are good and not if you are just getting by. If you want money become a lawyer. If you want respect do not. "I will find a new sig someday."

If you love what you do and get to "play" all day when people pay you for it, now that's a job! Imagine getting to play $200,000 video games everyday... :cool::cool::cool: - Nitron
