This is very similar to how my career started, except I was the "web-edition editor" at the HJ before leaving to do tech writing for IBM. For the HJ, I basically I ran the website (back around 1999 - right after Al Gore invented the internet ), helped the photo gang (Mitch Mascaro) with scanning negatives and digital manipulation (this was before they had really good digital SLRs). And I did the weather report... the HJ may still have a binder kicking around with weather-reporting instructions I wrote. But maybe not, I'd hope things have changed a bit since then.

Ya! Fellow tech writer. I just recently graduated with my Master's in Tech Comm from USU. Glad all my schooling is finally over and done with.

Nice work. Were you in the USU STC? I was the STC Whip when I was there.

I've been in the STC off and on, but not really active. I did go to the STC conference in Phoenix a couple years ago though.

I'm another one of those damn attorneys. Work for the AG.

There are quite a few USU and JRCLS alums on the board, and in the SLC market. I enjoyed law school, but can't fathom how someone would go there as an undergrad. Though I am sure a lot on here would express the same incredulity about attending law school there.Shoot me a DM if you want to talk about law school/practice of law as a young lawyer.

I'm one of those, USU '80, JRCLS '83. Currently in-house tax counsel to a large gas midstream company in Tulsa, OK.

Interesting. I actually got accepted at JRC back in '81, and got wait-listed by the pukies. I accepted their invitation, gave notice at my HS teaching job, and prayed I wouldn't have to go there. I still used to get actually sick to my stomach when I entered Utah County in those days. Happily I never had to find out if I could stomach the JRC, as the pukes came through for me.

I work for Walmart as a manager in their grocery distribution center in Corinne. I also sell real estate on the side.

I'm a software engineer. I've worked for a few different companies over the past 10 years. I'm currently at the USU Research Foundation. Best gig I've ever had.

I work as a Health and Safety Specialist for an Oil Major in Houston

I'm a software developer working on a medical EMR for weight loss doctors.

Meh. I wouldn't worry about it. I bet lots of people start out that way, myself included

Operations Manager for an Ogden based Oil Company, but live in Southeast Idaho where the snowmobiling is awesome.

I'm a trophy husband. My wife is a nurse practitioner. We want badly to move back to Logan. If you're a doctor who's hiring NP's pm me! Even if you're not in Logan.

Design Engineer for that company that makes big green farm tractors.

I may have a job or three but I am also living in my Mother in Laws basement. It's a smart thing to do if you can even if it's hard to swallow your pride. Helped us pay off a ton of debt quickly.

Glad to know there's another one of my kind out there. My wife is a nurse practitioner too. I keep bees and play golf after a career in law enforcement.

I wish I could be a trophy husband. Of course, anyone who's seen me knows I will never be a trophy husband, no matter how much my wife makes. I was actually voted "Mr. Ugly" at Logan High in 1975. True story.

I work at U.S. Bank as a Personal Banker. New accounts, credit applications for consumers and businesses. I love my job and its benefits, minus health insurance. I suppose health insurance at any employer these days is disappointing.

Graduate Research Assistant at Utah State University. Does that even count though?

There is one common Utah career that is not represented here and I suppose it never will be, that being at Diamond Level of a Multi-Level Marketing Company. We Aggies have more common sense than most others.

I joke about being a trophy husband but my life isn't as cushy as frogman's. I do work in a compounding pharmacy in South Jordan but I make significantly less than my wife. I haven't yet earned the right to keep bees and golf.

I'm looking to pursue a Masters which is a major reason why I want to move back to Logan.

Actually am pretty thankful for the insurance I've got. I used to think my premiums were high, but considering what Blue Cross has had to pay for my family this year, they are actually really affordable.

Good USU contingent in IF. I started on the board as IdaAg when I lived in Ammon but since updated my name and location.

I know a lot of engineers at Ball in Boulder, CO. I played on a rec hockey team called Ballistics because half the team worked there and lived in Frederick, CO so a few people in my ward worked there too.

My premiums are low but my deductibles are sky-high. If you don't have very high deductibles, then consider yourself fortunate.

I work in marketing for an educational software company based in Salt Lake County.

Since there had been some discussion about insurance, I am on HDHP and have been for several years at two different employers and am generally pleased with them. The deductible for a family is usually around $3K, and both of my employers have contributed over $2K to my HSA per year, leaving me on the hook for less than $1K of expenses should I get to that point (most years we haven't, except when our daughter was born, but we had saved plenty of money in the HSA from previous years). After deductible the plans have covered everything 80/20, with OOP max at about $6K. That seems like a pretty good deal to me. Essentially, worst case for me would be about $1,500 out of my own earnings in any given year. I can live with that. I am also fortunate that my current company pays the premiums. That saves me a couple thousand a year as well.
