wmw999 2,126 #26 May 13, 2012 QuoteFor the OP: Graduating with a liberal arts degree in a tough economy with no real career plan (which was the situation I was in back in 1992, though the conditions weren't quite as tough as they are now), I'd see if you can get any kind of corporate job, even if it's in an admin position that you feel overqualified for. Do a bang-up job at that and it can be a springboard to something more challenging.Worked for me, 15 years before that. Started in the mailroom at a major corporation, and ended up a "rocket scientist." Just remember that someone is watching the excellent above-and-beyond work you do at a shitty job. If no one is, then do something they will notice, or see if you can transfer to where they will notice.

JohnnyMarko 1 #28 May 15, 2012 So I have a job. I'm going to be running a CNC machine at a local machine shop. Not ideal but it'll be good money for me to save up and move out West. On the plus, moving back home means I'm closer to Skydive Chicago (not that I don't love my 182 home DZ). Hopefully I haven't offended anyone up there and I'll be welcomed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
