Anyway, as for my schooling...I've still got 1.5 years to finish off my BA. I'm not in school as I'm doing Spinto Band stuff for the time being, but I'd love to finish someday whether it's at my current school in Bennington or somewhere else like University of Delaware. I'll figure it out, but I'd definitely like to graduate and get my degree.

I frequent that place sometimes. It's pretty cool. You playing there?

Yeah, we're playing a show with a friend's band who are locals. Should be a good time. I really like Madison.

And after a lovely weekend away from the city, I start the new season with a 15 hour day.

Presumably, you have a sub-conscience attraction to your job or you would have quit by now.

Or I enjoy having some type of an income flow and know what it is like to be unemployed for some time.

I'm in the intermediate stage between college graduate and first real job.
How old I feel. Especially after reading some of these posts.

Pretty soon, there'll be a "post pics of your kids" thread.

Psshhh...you just enjoy having 15 hours a day of free time to write comics.

Now wasn't this thread a nice break from all the political ones?

My supervizor was happy with the report.

Dyne · 09-03-2008, 11:25 PM

Might as well. Just started my programming coop at Propaganda Games and I'm so glad I'm back. I'm working in Core Tools which is a huge change of pace for me, but my degree actually has helped.

I'm so stoked for what the company is doing right now. It's a good place to be. I just hate that I have 5 courses left at school.

But anyways. I just finished up 3 straight 65+ hour weeks so that I could meet the deadline this Tuesday. I'm almost a year into this job, so I should be up for a bonus and a fat raise soon, not that I don't make enough money already.

Oh really? How do you like the city?

Do you live right in it or in a suburb?

I saw a guest watch this thread and I found out it's a good place to post.

I finished my MSc in November 2009. I've been looking for a job since then, but it's incredibly hard.
Last week I started a temporary job which has been fun so far. Farmers can get subsidized for natural elements on their land. I process those requests (with about 50 others). It's nice to work with something visual (maps) and nature-related.

After this semester, I just have two classes and then I'll have my Bachelor of Fine Arts for film.

Still working on my grad film.

And working at Starbucks :\

Vampyr · 02-24-2010, 01:49 PM

Still working at Perot Systems, same as the last two years, except now it's Dell Perot Systems and soon to just be Dell Services.

My boss asked me a while back if I had an interest in being hired full time after I graduate, which I definitely do.

I'm all set to graduate this coming May...so I'm pretty excited about that.

ZebraRampage · 02-24-2010, 01:58 PM

I graduated in December with a BS in Civil Engineering. I've been looking for a job since the start of January and haven't had any luck yet, but hopefully I'll get one at some point this year.

Thespis721 · 02-24-2010, 02:21 PM

Starting my second year at Con Edison in NYC while constantly working in the theatre.

I don't know why I said that... I guess I was a follower for this moment...

I graduated three years ago as an EE. Just now studying again to relearn everything so I can take the FE, the first exam and step of becoming a licensed professional engineer.

Currently looking for a new job. I'm ready for a change.

I also have a couple ideas that I'd like to start into a business. But, while I'm a good electronics engineer, computer programmer, and product designer, I have no business training and no idea how to get funding. I wouldn't even know where to start with getting a business registered with the gov't, and what type of business to choose. Anyone got any tips on that?
