I work in the government. Pay grade is GS-12, though I'm getting promoted to a GS-13 next week; locality pay gives it a nice bump. As great as the pay is, I got student loans which eats up most of that. Hopefully public service loan forgiveness will correct that in- oh, say- 6 years? Ugh.

Before that I was in private practice making $18-21K in one job, $40-50K in the next. I'll stick to government work.

i say swears online posted:

I make $14.65/hr as the highest-paid person in an accounting auditing office at a resort. I work overnight and live in a medium-cost-of-living city. My rent and utilities are 60% of my take-home pay. The night shift plus availability of alcohol at work keeps me from pursuing anything better. I'm just slowly drowning.

I did this same job at 17 for $7.50/hr. I'm 33 now.

Dude, go to USAJobs, throw your hat into the federal employment sector. You have that god drat much time in accounting auditing and an MBA? There's gotta be a government agency with comparable pay and better benefits that you would fit great in. Hell, some might even give you telework.
