When searching for a graduate program, look for schools that are equally strong in computer science and engineering. MIT is still the leader here, but other schools like the University of Washington and Texas A&M University have built on their strong engineering programs to integrate computer science.
Bi-Weekly Pay. With a bi-weekly pay schedule, workers receive a check every two weeks. The company chooses a set day, such as Thursday or Friday, and issues payment every other week on that day. With a bi-weekly pay schedule, employees receive the equivalent of 26 paychecks during a standard year (52 weeks divided by two). With a bi-weekly pay schedule, two months out of the year produce three paychecks.
Being paid twice per month is not the same for every company. Biweekly paychecks are distributed every two weeks. This type of pay schedule will result in 26 paychecks over the course of a calendar year, because two months in 12 will have three paydays due to their lengths.
