So...am I to understand that someone who has -3- college degrees and worked for NASA is happy to work for $10/hr at a Security Checkpoint???? Why don't I believe this is real?Hi! My name is Ethel and I'm from Wisconsin. I like music, I love ice cream, and I adore weird facts: Did you know that elephants can smell water from as far away as three miles? I joined the TSA about a year ago - prior to that I attended MIT where I earned degrees in Biology, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and had the amazing opportunity to work on projects like designing artificial gravity systems for NASA.
I wonder how much the Gov't spent to come up with this PR move....?
Honestly, I don't know why you assume she's a screener. I assumed most of these folks were fairly high-up management.Originally Posted by lijk604

I actually don't know what she does. By the way it's not $10 an hour. I don't think we spent much if anything for setting up the blog after all we have a whole IT department that spends too much time screwing other things up.

I guess I jumped the gun. Maybe she is a screener, maybe she isn't. Just seems like a LOT of degrees to be stuck in TSA management. With her credentials, why would you leave NASA?Originally Posted by Phil D.
She is a TSA screening Manager
A TSA Screening Manager salary ranges from $44,000 to $68,000As a TSA Screening Manager I would just like to say that I think this blog will be informative for both the public and the screening force at large! Maybe it will bridge the gap that seems to have formed between the public and the TSA.

So you got to college, get THREE degrees, work some at NASA, and you are content to make $68k/yr? Yikes!Originally Posted by Midnight Mike
bMay not have been her choice. With the decline in jobs 6 years ago the market was thin.Originally Posted by lijk604

People change jobs all the time, knew a guy that went from a 6 digit salary to pursue his dream of becoming a pilot. He is now flying for the Regionals probably making about $26k per year.Originally Posted by lijk604
Picking out a famous one, Michael Jordan retired from basketball to pursue his dream of becoming a baseball player & took a nice cut in pay, yes he was far from poor, but, it does serve as an example of people changing careers.

All well and good, but these people changed their jobs to pursue a dream. Maybe it's just me, but I could not see myself saying, hmmmm, I think I'll leave NASA to pursue my dream of being a TSA Screening Manager. But that's just me.Originally Posted by Midnight Mike
Don't worry, she's probably just a convicted felon.
