I'm an EI'd structural engineer working for Jacobs phosphate/petrochem division in lakeland. My starting salary was 50k with straight line OT.

I'm living in a nice new 2/2 apt, and slowly working on an RB swap. My s14 is my dd and the only vehicle I own. If you're going to do anything, get a cheap dd. And like everyone always says, save up about 6 months of bill-paying money before you do anything drastic.

All that is just my .02
good call. congrats on the joerb.
