I guess that masters degree she has is finally going to get some use! She just accepted a job offer tonight. This was her third interview with the guy and he made her an offer she couldn't refuse. $33K a year to start with full benefits paid and time off. If everything is going well after 6 months she will be bumped up to $37K per year and it just keeps going from there. We both pretty stoked, I finally get to move back down to my neck of the woods!! :hurr: :clap:

Well a masters is a very good degree to have when looking for job. It says a lot about how hard you studied to be good at what you do. It usually demands a very high salary also. But if she is happy with what she is getting in her respective field i am sure her future will be bright and happy and thats all that is really important in the big picture... :)

Well, it's kinda hard to explain. She will be working for a company that sets up non profit organizations for ministries all over the world. No particular religion, anyone who can pay for their services is welcome. I guess at first she will be a little bit of everything, accountant, secretary and just generally helping this guy out setting up these businesses. After a while she will be training to do the setup of these businesses, this is just the beginning to bigger and better things I guess. He told her that in a matter of years this can be a 6 figure money job, and he really wants to do anything he can to make it so she never wants to leave. I guess they really talked a lot about the future of the company and everything. He even talked about getting help for her when things get going. We will see!

The company is actually pretty small right now and the guy basically created a new position just for her. She is getting a key to the place and can set her own hours. At first I guess there will be a lot of training in quick books and all sorts of other admin stuffs. He is even talking about out of state training classes and business expos (all paid by the company of course).

The interview last night went pretty good I guess, hell she took the job! She said she did some negotiating and got a little more moola, and the guy was really good about it. I guess it was a really positive experience and both parties got what they wanted. She is really looking forward to it for many reasons. She likes that it's a small company with no HR department to fight with on issues like pay raises, benefits, etc..., also she already feels like if there is some sort of problem she can actually talk to the guy and resolve issues in a matter of hours rather than months.

And C, she has a MBA and she specializes in business management. :wink:

Ahh the small company as a employer. This should make for a comfortable job with merit based compensation benefits. Not bad, not bad at all. Please give Her my best wishes on this opportunity she has found.... :D
