Catch 22,

Such negative waves! If you have no cash, how are you able to be on here?

Just over a year ago I was doing my engineering co-op's which is like an internship, but an Engineering Intern is a person with a four year degree, passed his FE exam, and is doing his 5 years worth of work to get his licence. There is no school for engineers like there is for doctors and lawyers. I am now an Engineering Intern and can actualy sign my name as such.

Anyways back on topic, I had that good job and in the summer of 2003 I bought my own computer parts and put together my own computer so that explains why I have a computer.

I moved in with my parents after graduation. Of course, on JUly 1st, 2004 I will be kicked out of their house becuase one year is enough to find a job.

If there is no jobs there for your degree then go to a place where there is.

I live in Southeast Texas and my degree is in Chemical Engineering. Most of the countries chemical plants are between Houston and New Orleans. In fact, other engineers tell me to go here to find a job. I not only look for the jobs in every city newspaper between Houston and New Orleans, but I also look on line. I send about 50 resumes a week alone in emails and another 10 or so by fax.

Another problem is that I went to a small school virtually unknown out side of the immedeate area. And sorry to say but some manager in New York will choose the Texas A&M graduate over the Small Liberal Arts College Graduat simple on the name recognition.

Still seeing the high school bullies. Then learn Kung Fu.

Actually, I do know a smattering of kung fu and I ma jsut not very good at it. Oh I could handle my own in any bar rom brawl, but the first thing you learn in martial arts is that violence is not the answer. You also learn that the authorities don't look kindly upon people who go apeshit and break bones in self defense. It may have been self defense, but you are guilty until proven innocent.
