It's ok, Long Island uses sand, so in six months when my finish is sand blasted, then you can bring up this post!

Not entitled by law. My job function is exempt from the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The only thing they are limited to is making me work more than 168 hours in a week.

Just because you work for a law firm doesn't mean they make the law.

How TF are they exempt??

The nly thing I have to look forward to is the thought of you being shackled to the wall of the room below my basement.

Everything comfy down there? Need some more hot cocoa? Another blanket?

First, it's not a law firm. That would be much worse.

Secondly, they aren't exempt. My position is exempt. See: TITLE 29 CHAPTER 8 of the United States Code - FAIR LABOR STANDARDS.

"this title shall not apply with respect to . . . any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity . . . "

I need to find a job with an employer who will pay. They paid for me to finish my BS and MS at my curent place. But things are so bad here I did not want to bother pushing them to pay for the MBA, they probably would have said no anyway and that would have pissed me off more.

The current jobs I am getting calls on are mostly for contracting jobs and most of them at AT&T. AT&T is not hiring full time employees right now, but after the contract they can convert me. Then they have a tuition assistance program. So I will just have to wait and see.

I got 5 calls yesterday from recruiters and one this morning for another AT&T job. I told my existing recruiter that had already submitted me for a job at AT&T that I wanted status today. He stated early in the week that my resume was reviews and received a favorable reply and that I should be hearing about an interview today.

That's terrific!!
Have you taken AIS in the masters yet?? I'm looking at what my school offers if AIS is similar to the class I'm taking now I may just take it in grad course. So far these are six of the 12 classes I'm mostly likely taking:
Capital markets
International trade and Investments
SEC and Fiancial Markets
Business Taxation (hoping it is similar to the class I'm taking now)
Acquistion and Divestment
AIS (hopefully similar too)
