you rat bastard, charging 24% interest targeted towards audiences that shouldn't have a card in the first place.
What was your starting salary like STRAIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE?

Hopefully yall don't mind me asking, but for the ones who didn't find a job right when they graduated.
What do you guys do? other than looking for a job. Did you move back in with your parents, after graduation?

Look at Northrop Grumman for engineering jobs.
Looked at them a while back... I'll see if they have anything now.
You will have to be willing to move.

My internship just ended last week, so I'm looking for a job again (could get an interview for a position with the same company, but still crossing my fingers it works out). I moved back home with my parents because it makes sense now to save money, although I do hope to move out and start living my own life hopefully in my mid-20s.

Damn. Reading all of this makes me wish i wasn't so narrow minded and lazy back then. Currently in my 3rd year doing Exercise Bio at UC Davis...goal is to get into PT school but my prospects are looking grim after seeing my grades compared to the requirements of the grad schools...especially since many of the programs are converting to Doctorate programs. FML....

Yea thats never been an issue... but from talking with some hiring managers they were telling me in this economy they favor local candidates over someone looking to relocate. At this point I'm willing to move where ever.Originally Posted by RedMan
