survolvo Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I was doing some digging on one of the trails and found this buried in the hillside. Also found an old Listerine bottle dated from around the 30's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy. Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Six-figure mean pay with guaranteed retirement by 56? Doesn't sound too terrible. To go off what Mike already said about suicide as well, having to relocate each time there is more of a 'need' sounds like quite a downer, hence why the hourly rate is so high, $60 is pretty good if you don't care where you live. They don't land themselves nor do they time their own landings with 150 other planes every 15 minutes at a place like LaGuardia.. I'm a dick. And an asshole. You sure are. probably because pilots are assholes and idiots. I dealt with them extensively while I was in the military (commercial vs military I know) but still, they were dicks EDIT: not all pilots are dicks, but a lot of them are. I know a few pilots personally that are super cool, but a overwhelming amount of them are not I'm going to go with this not being the answer to why controllers kill themselves. It is the long and arduous work hours, having to relocate at a moments notice, and the specific times of shifts they are expected to work. These combined cause for suicidal attempts (successful or unsuccessful). Source: I am a Psych Major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy. Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 You don't have to be a psych major to figure out any of what you just said Though seems like a tedious job more than arduous. So.....Have you thought about a major that has a career associated with it? First and foremost, instead of coming back and cursing you out in the usual bro-tastic forum fashion for being a totally ignorant human being, I am going to handle it differently. 1. Arduous (adj.) - "involving or requiring strenuous effort; difficult and tiring." With my college education, I would say this applies to an air traffic controller, but it is true, I am just a Psychology major. 2. Agreed that a career in Psychology is tough to apply when the positions titled 'Psychologist' will require a masters and PhD education. Getting a degree in Psychology though is not a terrible thing when you are looking to pursue something out of the realm of practicing psychology. I am going to pursue Physical Therapy school. Instead of taking the Exercise Science route of a undergraduate degree I am choosing to study Psychology due to the nature of this major having a well rounded bachelors of science curriculum, as well as my enjoyment of studying the mind. 3. So proceed onward Alden, going through this forum tearing through people, questioning everything and telling people what is correct according to you. Maybe if you sat down and thought about keeping your mouth shut instead of assuming that you know everything about... everything, maybe you wouldn't make such an ass out of yourself, quite literally, in anything you talk about on this forum. Disclaimer: Yes I know this is the internet, and yes I know this is not real life, hence why I handled it in the above fashion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I can see why you took what I said the way you did. I think it came across different on the internet than it was in my head. I meant what I said, but I didn't mean it to be as condescending, or as personal, as it may have read.1. Still feel the same on word choice, but whatever, its semantics. I didn't say you were "just" a psych major, nor did I mean to imply the major has no importance in life. I meant more or less "doesn't take a rocket scientist" to figure that out.2. I was trying to begin a conversation about your goals because I am interested in what other people do with their life. Especially when it's different from my own views, because I'm interested to hear how other people see it. So... are you planning on school after the psych major to get in to physical therapy? Or is that something you can do with the psych degree?3. I don't think I've seen you reply to anything I've said as far as I can remember. I think this is the first time. Why didn't you say something then, if you felt different? As for your disclaimer; own what you said and tell everyone else who wants to keep discussion light and boring to screw. I think it's great that you put together an articulate reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Or is that something you can do with the psych degree? I make more than the mean for an air traffic controller with a psychology degree. So yes, you can do "something" with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theForgottenone Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I make more than the mean for an air traffic controller with a psychology degree. So yes, you can do "something" with them. I would say you put that "psychology" degree into work when it come to career advancement. Along that same line, my previous manager is now an IT director with his degree in English. It is not what the piece of paper you get from college determine/define your career in life.
