    Just be sure to start job searching in your last semester. It takes forever to do. It's already halfway through the semester and my roommate and I are still looking for jobs.

    This kind of stuff kills me to hear... Hopefully things will be better in another year:pray:

    Meanwhile my wife hasn't even graduated yet and she has been doing job interviews. One guy wants to hire her right now, but he can't since she's not done with school and can't take the licensing board til April as well.

    Thinking about ordering a diff drop and spacer to fix my taco lean then getting it re aligned.

    Thoughts on the spacer some quick searching brought up a few people saying the front coils are side specific?

    Are eibachs different for.driver passenger?!

    Thanks

    Nice pic. My ex used to do this to some of our pics. I like when b&w is used and you focus on one color.

    Bah. You're a Veteran. We never have problems getting jobs. (those of us who actually want to work)

    I hear the Army is hiring.

    Hope so!


    And if Lauren jumps right into OCS she could just become an officer and her bachelors degree wouldn't be wasted. Just enlisting it is half wasted... You can enlist as E-4 with a bachelors and the it will give you a decent bonus for your EPS packet when trying to get your E-5, but after that it isn't as helpful. The officer route pays significantly better though!

    That's why I was thinking about it. I've been putting in for a lot of gov jobs. Found out today I didn't get the one I really wanted. Blah but gotta keep trying. I'm at a seminar now on how to do better at applying to them.

    Yeah USAJOBS is hard to navigate for citizens who haven't served or worked for the .gov already. My best advice is to be very thorough and really pay attention to the KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities) section of the job posting. Also keep in mind most interns end up with full time employment. It sucks for the first year, but if you can stick it out it's worth it.

    Don't forget Veterans get hiring preference. If you serve some time in the Army, then you will have the foundation for an outstanding career laid out for you. It really does give you a huge hiring advantage.
