My wife just got a new job!
Posted: December 3, 2007, 12:25 pm
As of last Friday, my wife just switched jobs. She was the Director of Student Financial Aid at a local private collage, but was offered a position on the lender side. She's now the State Representative for Charter One in Michigan.
She'll now work from home, but will be traveling within Michigan 3-4 days a week. She was issued a Blackberry, laptop, allowence to set up a home office, and a company credit card. She more than doubled her yearly salary, and that's just base pay. They have an assload of incentives. They will pay for our internet. Her benefits package reads like nothing I have ever seen or heard of in my life. Seriously, they are fucking incredible. I work at a hospital and her benefit package is on a whole other planet. In short, my wife and her job will take our family to a whole new place.
We've always been very comfortable. I mean, we both make good money and all that. But this new change is so much more money that it's almost scary. We're both still reeling from the fact she was offered the job and starts Jan 7th. Her first paycheck will pay off our 2 recent large purchases (TV and bed), and still have enough to make all our monthly payments from a single check. We still have another 1 of hers and 2 of mine coming. Insane I tell ya. Insane. We also have taxes coming up, and the mere thought of each of us geting 3 checks in the same month? Fuck me!
This is far from a bragging post, since I figure most of the people on here make pretty nice livings anyway. I just had to share our good news with my Internet friends. Life is full of turning points in life. This is one of ours.
EDIT: It's Charter One, not Bank One!
