Upper Middle Class After Almost Failing College

@janice64 Too much OW?

 

[janice64]

@kaysue idk what that is, but no. The issue was not nearly enough support. It's kind of a long story.

 

[kaysue]

@janice64 OW = Overwatch

 

[janice64]

@kaysue That's what I thought I just wasn't sure.

@hwereson Can I ask what kind of chem E you do? I have a PhD in a very small
Niche and still make less than you with the same experience…

 

[godisnotreal6969]

@leaps Whereas that's a bit lower than the starting salaries for ChemE PhDs at my company in a very LCOL area. Pharma is lucrative.

 

[hwereson]

@leaps I work in operations at a production facility. Almost all operations engineers make similar amounts of money for similar experience levels.

@hwereson Nice! I dropped out of high school, last year made $139k at my job. I'm a couple years older than you though

@hwereson Nice! I'm a Chem E in Houston as well and you are almost exactly where I was at 32. About the same GPA as well and I moved to Chicago to avoid what should have been my layoff my first year out of school. Recruiters have been crazy as of late. I'm not really looking at the moment but let me know if you'd like me to send you anything I've gotten on linked in over the last two months.
