I'm going to OSU next year for engineering. I'm not happy at all about the no car on campus freshman year thing. I don't know what I'm going to do going months at a time without just going for a drive or at least seeing my protege. Do you if there is any way to get around that and get a parking pass?

How's the AE program there? I just graduated undergrad AE from VT back in May and now I work for GE Aviation down in Evendale. I'm in GE Co-op program (EEDP) and I have the option of taking graduate level classes at a local university to possibly get my Master's. OSU is one of my option schools (along with UC, Dayton and Miami).

[jigsaw12]

I am sales/customer service/installer for an automotive accessory company

[fishdonotbounce]

magnum the AE program is not bad over here in OSU. I just finished my first year so I really can't tell ya much but that's kinda crazy that I found another AE guy on here and in OH too. I might be asking you some questions here soon :D

[Pyro-tege]

I am a technician repairing, er, wait this is the internet right? Um, I am a secret agent currently working special ops, deep undercover. I am tracking weapons traders, and the cast of The View. I make roughly a couple million a year, but it's unreported since it's grab and go with the cash in certain operations. Of course, if I drive the Bently or Aston around I would draw attention to myself, which is where the Protege comes in. Not bad for a car made for the "common folk". Granted it doesn't have a wine chiller in the armrest, or a humidor for my cigars in the glove box, or machine guns or missles, but it does have working A/C, power windows, and 2 cupholders. I travel to places like Cuba, Korea N-or-S? Can't divulge that), Europe, Asia, Africa, and Epcot Center around the world attraction. Yes, I am a man of the world, a cultured man. I only bathe with bottle water from the Swiss Alps, I eat Filet Mignon every night, and live with women of supermodel caliber, all unknown currently of course so not to draw attention. You all understand. Well, I have to go, President Bush and The League of Super Extraordinary Old Congressman are summoning me with their flashlights in the sky. I'll keep in touch between missions.

[fishdonotbounce]

wow man you were really bored weren't you

I don't believe in that Physics stuff. I think it's all just made up to make us serve the few ones who can bend time/space and defy gravity. I know I could defy gravity if I went on a diet, but at 5'8" my gravitational mass is slowly approaching that of a black hole. When I walk down the street, beggars get to close to my event horizon and I get stuck with them.

[IukekiniProtege]

I'm 19 graduated college with my Associates in Science this may. I just recently got a contract for the next year for 27,500 working as the only Technical Support Specialist for Hinsdale and Winchester School Districts here in NH. I basically work on computers; hardware, software, network issues, windows and linux servers and w/e else comes up. On the side I design web pages and do small programming contracts which is what I majored in.

[Micah]

2001: IT Helpdesk Support internally for a small bank
2002: IT Helpdesk Senior Support at the same place
2002.5: IT Network Administrator at the same place
2003: IT Network Admin/Backup Admin at the same place
2004: started working as a contracted consultant NOC Admin Engineer for a large healthcare organization @ 27/hr then 35/hr
2005: left the small bank and became a full time consultant working 12hrs a day, 7 days a week @ 40/hr
2006: contract got bought out cheaper than I would work for (went crazy thinking I was going to lose everything on the pittance that unemployment provides)
2006.2: found a job through a friend of a friend at a software company doing enterprise level tech support focusing on hardware (NDMP, Magnetic Libraries, Tape Libraries, Optical Libraries, etc)

Been working here since, no regrets. The pay is substantially less than what I was making when I was working 7 days a week, but I went from working 84-120 hours a week to working 40 hours a week. I now have time to have a life again, I like the people I work with, and life is good.

man, for not "believing" the science, you sure sound like you experience is. Belief/Lack of belief does not = truth :)

[MazdaSpeeder]

I work nights (10pm-8am) at a home for boys in the care of the state. We're one of the largest facilites in KY and I have 8 boys that I look after, all in the teen years. The pay's not great (and I may get screwed out of my position soon) but it's a rewarding job and it helps me with my other job, finishing up my Masters of Divinity degree. I get several hours a night to study and work on homework, so the low pay's well worth it.

[MazdaSpark85]

I've worked for T-Mobile for a couple of years and I just left the company. I now will finish my college degree full time.

We also do dewatering of the "material" (takes out the liquid to make it like a cake. Then we dry it and let it roll in a drum. Then it comes out like little pellets....then used on golf courses and large lawns.
