Great News Today!

[jknudson]

I've been on the job hunt for the last few months...I like my current job okay, but its not what I want to do forever, and I just get by from month to month. I have been applying to technician jobs at the Mayo Clinic in town (which may I mention is the hardest place to get a job at).

Well finally today I got a call from the Mayo Clinic to schedule an interview for an ECG technician position. It pays a significant amount more than my current job, so if I get the job I can save up to move out on my own and hopefully expand my collection a bit further .

I REALLY hope that the interview goes well, I think it will be an interesting career, and there is much room for advancement. My interview will be on Monday morning, please keep me in your prayers, wish me luck!

Coo'. Nothing worse then being in a job you dont like that much and that barely gets you by. With the way living costs are going up, and wages don't follow, I feel bad for those 10-15 years from now. I mean I have a GREAT paying job. But I can't even live on my own! Unless I want to live in a bad area in a studio and be lucky to only pay 800.00 a month IF I'm lucky.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine paying California housing costs. I'm lucky if I can afford to move out in the next year, the real estate market is flooded with houses/townhomes/apartments so prices are coming down a bit. At this point I would be okay with a studio apartment, but I can't even afford that! I don't hate my job, I work with saltwater fish/inverts which I love as a hobby, but as far as a job I'm getting burnt out working with it during the day and then taking care of my own tanks.

Best of luck on the interview!!

Yeah to be honest, I don't see myself living in Cali my whole life. Too expensive and I just don't care for it. I'd rather move to Arizona or something like that.

Who's ever heard of a Norwegian that didn't like snow? Weird!

Good luck with the job interview!!
