This is New Jersey...

I wonder why I bothered with a PhD when I could have been making $321,000/yr working at a toll booth for the NJ Turnpike authority like this guy. Sickening .

The GSP and TPK have been feeding troughs from day one. CC will get to them too.

You got your PhD because your smart and love research - you didn;t do it for the money! Trust me, I knew very few millionaires that hold PhD's!!!

The real money is in meth labs and turning out teenage crack hos...

And the government wonders why we are fed up and will do anything we can to keep them from getting any of our money. Pay for your universal health care with the money that is getting pissed away by the govt.

This is the same state (and I think the only one) that has people pump your fuel - full service. I heard it is because the Mob Bosses didn't want their Mothers to have to pump their own fuel!?!

In Tejas, we have cameras that take pics and then the toll authority bills you. Pretty cost effective - but I guess in NJ it would infringe on your civil liberties?

Nope. The sheepherders get the chicks...

True Story, I shared a mega-cube with another younger engineer. He was at a bar talking to a chick, doing pretty well, until they got to the part where he says he's an Engineer. She turns to the guy on the other side who says he's a sheepherder. She went home with the sheepherder.

Oregon also prohibits self-serve. They allow you to pump your own fuel in a motorcycle and I've always gotten cooperation for them to "let" me pump fuel into the spyder (many ways to screw this one up). Technically, we can also pump our own diesel as the flashpoint is pretty high.

But in general, no self serve gasoline in Oregon.

But he is a highly trained worker. If we lower the salary we will get bad service and long lines from the unqualified replacements.

It's a livestock thing.

Some chicks are freaky like that.
