This is my last full week of classes and I turn 21 next sunday AND most importantly I'm getting JDM tails on friday.

Should be a fun week. Now I just need to figure out what to do after school!

Move back to Reno and work for me on my new race team. Oh and bring about $600,000 with you to start said race team.

j/k

Congrats man! Especially on the JDM tails which is by far the most important thing you mentioned.

Are you coming back to Reno after school for a bit? I'm sure we'll all be willing to use your recent 21st as an excuse to go out and get hammered w/ ya!

JC · 2004-04-12, 07:55 PM

Well graduation is may 1st, so I'll probably start back the next day. I might be back in time for the meet on the 6th.

By next sunday I mean this sunday the 18th, so I'm stoked. I'll be happy to drink with you guys when I get back.

Ya for JDM tails! Now I just need a job.

tysonK · 2004-04-12, 07:57 PM

I'm still looking for job.

It's pretty fun, but then again I have a useless Economics degree not a engineering or computer science degree.

I don't think the CS degree's right now are helping much either

Thankfully I have a REAL engineering degree.

ArthurS · 2004-04-13, 01:33 PM

So were you going to celebrate your 21st at?

I hope you have better luck than I did looking for a job out in the real world a few months ago; ME's didn't seem to be in very high demand anywhere I was looking. Fortunately, I stumbled across a job that didn't require working in the real world. I'm working on my latest iteration of vehicle chassis roll stiffness and lateral load transfer calculations today... and I get paid for this now.

haha thats to funny

tysonK · 2004-04-13, 05:18 PM

I see tons of jobs for CS degrees; I don't know where you are looking. I think every company I ever turned in a resume for was looking for people with CS skills. :?

Skills yes....but from what I have been reading, IT and other similar jobs are extremly difficult to find. Almost every job now requires some type of computer skills....even my job.

I might be wrong, I haven't looked in awhile, but its just what I hear in the career forums on offtopic.com.

I think my Art degree is far more useless

RULE #1

IT jobs are REAL hard to find right now. I've been working with a company for nearly 5 years and got laid off 3/31. THANKFULLY, a manager at my company who i'd worked for before had an opening and was able to hire me in to his group, thus, saving my job.

I'm sure my WRX would have been comfortable to live in, but it still woulda sucked

Having to take the job I did has really changed up my life - Im' working nights now, 7pm-6am wednesday - saturday. It's kinda rough but I'll get through it. My body is adjusted to the new schedule but my mind is still a little freaked out about it. Hopefully soon my gf will quit her day job (she works night too already) so I can see her more

JC · 2004-04-14, 08:02 AM

Ya IT sucks. I'm glad I ended up in Aerospace instead.

JC · 2004-04-18, 03:14 PM

Oh man, I am never drinking again.

But I did get new toys.

Yeah, I can pretty much state for a fact that it is EXTREMELY hard to get a job with a CS degree right now. About all the people I graduated with (last June) only about half of them have real jobs. 90% of the time they were gotten through relatives in government contracting firms.

Everyone else I know with a CS degree is working at CompUSA or BestBuy either selling computers or doing repairs. Stuff we all could have done right out of highschool. Hell, the job market being the way it was 6 years ago, it's very plausable that I could have had a much better job without going to college.

A small few have seemed to shrug off the CS thing, and are just using the degree to get better 9-5 office jobs not even related to CS or IT.

Almost daily I go back and forth on weather or not I want a real programming or IT job. Sometimes it feels that I should just give up and work in some sort of marketing position (which I am pretty decent at, but I don't necessarily enjoy it). I would absolutely love a programming job, but I've been looking for 9 months now to no avail (only a small handful of interviews).

Silly me. I could have studied Aerospace engineering at Cal Poly SLO, but I decided that Computer Science at UCSB would be much more profitable in the long run (damn you dotcom bubble

). That and there was more beer and hot chicks at UCSB.
