... So my overall question(s) 1. Why in the hell am I doing this????? 2. What exactly is the degree in? I'm beginning to think insanity, although they tell me it's bachelors in business management 3. From insanity, exactly how far away is one from blithering idiot? (at least I'll be a blithering idiot with a degree and house full of cats). So please, forgive my long-winded rant. I needed an outlet and decided this was as good as any. Plus I have something else on my agenda - if anyone even entertains the idea of going to UOP - DON'T DO IT! I don't even have a family (real - meaning kids), I have no clue how others can do it. I would really like to start my own newsgroup on the pitfalls of UOP. Thank you for listening. I'm going to settle my fur back down now. For what it's worth, I do understand. It is truly amazing how many essentially illiterate folks graduate from high school these days. And it's equally amazing the attitude you find in a lot of people (perhaps most people?) who really ought to know better. And now for my rant - I've got a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Cal Poly, Pomona. I've got more than 25 years of experience as a computer programmer, system administrator, and software engineer. So how come the only job I can find right now is driving a semi for $.29/mile? I stay out on the road for two to three weeks at a time, get to see my wife and my kitties for maybe two days at the end of that period, then back on the road again. And the miles I get are so few that we are having big troubles just keeping our utilities paid. I really do enjoy the work - driving a truck is fun. But I'd be a lot happier if I could see my wife and my furkids every night, and could pay my utilities without having to scramble. Dan For what it's worth, you both have my sympathy, along with everyone who is unemployed, underemployed, or otherwise frustrated in their effort to move forward in their life. I feel very lucky to be retired. Joy |

(big snippage) The last team member - how in the hell this woman got out of high school blows my mind. She cannot even put a simple sentence together, I had no clue what her point was, nothing made sense. *ladylike snort* I was surprised the *first* time I found out that someone who graduated from high school with my class couldn't read. Not just functional, but *actual* illiteracy slips through. I don't understand it. We are ending purrs for you to get through your ordeal, and our best hopes that it will be worth it in the end. ------ Krista |
