Ok a couples of rants...

Rant #1

I'm driving home listening to RUSH and a guy calls in and says he can't find a job in his field and he is an engineer fresh out of college. I find this hard to believe so I listen. After about five minutes of whinning about how all the good jobs have gone overseas and how it's all someone else's fault that he can't find a job, two facts slip out. One, He is an Industrial Engineer. Two, He is unwilling to move outside of Dayton, OH for his first job. Hell...I can figure out his problem with my eyes closed. ONE. MOVE BUDDY. Sometimes you have to Go where the job is, no ifs, ands, or buts. This is especially true of your first job. Most places won't take and engineer without at least two years experience. If you didn't do those junior and senior year internship you're SOL. Chances of you finding a good job right in your backyard are slim and none. TWO: Industrial Engineering is at bottom of the Engineering World. At the University we call IEs "Imaginary Engineers" Most IEs do line work or go into HR (Human Resources). IEs are a dime a dozen and most companies need another IE's like they need a hole in the head. If you want to make some cash be an Engineer that really does something: ME, CE, EE, etc... you know the tough ones that you didn't want to take. NOw you can find IEs jobs if you are willing to MOVE! This guy mention he was going back to school to be a lawyer. LOL If he thinks he is going to be rich he has another thing coming. I'd pay money to see this guy 10 years from now.

Rant #2

Ladies quit the Boy-Bashing! I listen to women all day complaining about men at school everyday. I hear it in the halls, in Class, outside, during breaks, etc... 1. Don't be mad at some guy because he can't read your mind. 2. If your dating an Asshole don't be suprised when he behaves that way. He won't change the longer you date him. 3. Give the nice guys a chance. 4. Cut the attitude: "Boys are stupid throw rocks at them." That attitude just drive boys away and you'll be 35 with 5 cats. 5. Stop waiting for Prince Charming and start dating. I 've seen women in a room filled with men being asked for Nicely for dates or just getting together by dozen of guys, but she won't go becasue she is pining for the one guy every women is after to ask her out. That guy is in heaven, because he gets his pick of the women. That leaves you in Hell with all the other heart-broken women in the room along with all teh other guys you turned down. Why not increase the net happiness in teh world and say "yes" once in awhile.
