MacRumors Hires First Employee

Congrats WildCowboy on your promotion!

Still working on that PhD eh? Just like you're still working on that book?

Family Guy reference for the uninitiated

😀
 
Congratulations WildCowboy! It's always good to be paid well for something you do so well and enjoy so much. I think the next party should be on you!😀
 
I guess this means getting a job at Apple is out of the question.
That is, if you ever wanted to.
 
Congrats, WildCowboy. That's great news. Hopefully you'll be able to 1099 him so you won't have to deal with all those tax issues... 😱
 
Excellent news! 🙂

Although I wonder, WC, will you ever get the chance to sleep again? 😛
 
what great news! congrats eric... you have always been a solid member and great contributor to this :apple: community.

Keep up the good work!

Nazdravia!
 
I'd guess this is a pretty secure job. All us jackasses are gonna be here a long, long, LONG time. 😀

I'm really curious as to how much he's getting paid.

That's between Arn and WildCowboy. The mods don't know, nor should they. Besides, it genuinely is nobody's business. Let's all be grateful that this is a sign of site success, a clear vote of confidence in WildCowboy, and that we'll have increased resources available to us in terms of all the things that a site admin being full-time will enable.

Now that WC is on board, iWonder who is next... Doctor Q, Blue Velvet, etc....

Heh. As a print designer, I'm not currently available unless MR decides to move into producing a magazine or maybe even a book. I believe Q has his hands full as well, although I shouldn't really be speaking for him... 🙂

Besides, being paid means you can't just log off for a few months when you're sick of things. 😉

yes, apparently a post-graduate degree is a requirement to work at MacRumors. 🙂

And specifically, a bio / medical post-grad degree 🙂

Our Arn used to be a physician before jacking it in for a lower-paid job as chief cat-herder of this site full of apple nerds and other wierdos.

I remember people moaning that Arn wasted an expensive medical education. How do you guys feel now that WC's also 'wasted' a world-class education to become a kitten-whipper here?

The world is full of people who trained intensively in one thing then found happiness through following their dreams into something completely unrelated - artists, dancers, programmers, web-admins, builders, writers etc.

I don't think renal failure even comes close to the dollar value of MR!!

<About to be banned.>

Life's funny that way.🙂

But Arn, I could really use some help with my kidney stones.😉
