I'm a Project Manager for an oil and gas manufacturing company. We build trucks that service oil wells. My job is kind of like a coordinator between sales, engineering, fabrication, purchasing and the customer.

I like my job, which is important. When I first started, it was difficult because the position didn't exist until I started, and I had never done anything like it before. it took me a month before I started to feel comfortable. For the first month I woke up every day dreading going to work. But after that initial bit of figuring stuff out, it's been pretty good and I've learned a hell of a lot.

Oh yeah, and now I can't afford $3,000 computers anyway because I have to pay rent, groceries, insurance, gas, cell phone etc. Welcome to the real world. I get payed decently, but I would make more somewhere else for sure, but i'm pretty loyal to the company i'm working for and I like it. I would take less money to be happy with my job. I don't think there is anything worse than going to a job you hate. I know for some people there isn't much choice, but I would do everything to get out of that kind of situation.
