Hey I got a real job!

[1_pointer]

Sorta, actually. I've been working in a STEP (Student Temporary Employment Program) with the BLM since September and just found out this afternoon, that their moving me to a SCEP (sub in Career for Temporary). This gives me a permanent position in the BLM within 120days of completing my Masters. There are 3 positions open in Salt Lake and they'd like me to fill one of 'em. So, it looks like my wife's days as sole provider may be coming to an end!

Congrats!

Nice work!

Works not everything, but it sure makes it easier to know that needs can be met.

 

[Ithaca 37]

Congratulations! It's about time ya got a real job!!

 

[JoseCuervo]

Work ain't all that it is cracked up to be.....

The worst part is when you realize you don't have 3 months off in the Summer and a month off in December/Jan.

Congrats to you pointer.

Hell maybe we should be giving your wife the congrats on this.

Dang, I thought you might get lucky and land that job in CO so you could leave that hell-hole known as UT. Oh well...congrats anyway!

Congrats on the job. I know your relieved and happy. Too bad it wasn't Idaho, eh?

 

[Washington Hunter]

Have fun, and while you're working for the BLM maybe you can get their priority changed from cattle grazing to wildlife habitat?

 

[dgibson]

Congratulations, Tyler! I'm glad you got a job out in Utah, but also a little sorry you didn't bring your newfound knowledge back east. IN could use a few good men in the F&W arena.

As for your wife no longer being the sole provider, I'll wait for that judgment until you receive your first paycheck.

'Gunner- It's slated to be done in May!

Oak- Yeah, Lakewood would've been nice, but this one's has a bit higher promotional potential.

Ovis- Accepting this position doesn't take me out of the running for the Boise jobs! I now have a fall back plan.

DG- I'd bring the knowledge back to IN, but I'm afraid they wouldn't know what to do with it!!!

WH- Who says it isn't?

 

[maineiac]

My condolences 1pter.

Good deal. It's hard to beat those government jobs...good security, excellent benefits, holidays, etc. Congrats!

Maybe if my check was direct deposit and I kept track of the checkbook! My wife does pretty good by me. She's the best thing I ever got through the mail!
