I got an internship without even really trying. Got offered a job right away. If you're good, I would think you'd have no problem walking into an office and getting a job

I was afforded the opportunity to do my internship in another department at my job. It would be a lateral move for me to go work with them bc I work for the city

I got a rejection from Phillips today if anyone cares.

I also don't have my degree yet (will in May). I assume that I got passed over by people with actual degrees in hand.

That's what I figured. There are alot of people out there with degrees at the moment. Once I have the degree, I'll be in that pool of people that give serious consideration.

Still sucks when they say no.

Not yet. I think that may be last on my list. It's an hour and fifteen minutes from everywhere. I don't want to make my wife and kids live in the trashball town closest. I'll move to Houston before I go down there.

Drive down to the southern most tip of Cameron Parish....then drive to the western most tip of Cameron Parish until you run into a large body of water.

The pay is fantastic. But other than that, what do you do? Live in Johnson Bayou? Port Arthur?

Thanks, but no thanks.
