Get Your Resume Ready...And Make Sure You Add Something On It About Your AI Skills

Back when I was in school, the internet was a baby.  I still remember the day when I got my first e-mail address and I sat in a computer lab to send my first e-mail to my friend.

My friend was also in the computer lab.  She was sitting at the computer next to me...also sending her first e-mail.

These were historic times and I am old enough to say that I was part of these firsts.

Looking For A New Job? Here Are The Top 50 Highest Paying Jobs In The United States

If you are in the grind for a new job, according to MarketWatch, the average search is taking close to 3 months.  If a top dollar salary is your goal, you'll probably have to make sure you have the proper degree to make that happen too.  As they say, "the world is your oyster" and if your dream is to make a whole lot of cash at your job, below are the highest-paying jobs in the United States.

For anyone who picked a profession where you see body parts that are under the skin or work on teeth all day, thank you for what you do.  There is no way I could do any of those jobs.
