Yeah I have looked into GE but too hard so far. It would be nice to work there since if I got bored in one of the areas of ME i could change departments and keep all my pay and benefits. I think I am looking for a little bit of a smaller company.

If your looking for a Career. You might want to check out patent officer. Last I heard the Govt. was looking to hire 12000 new people with assorted engineering degrees. Starting pay was 70 grand. If it was good enough for Einstein it might be good enough for you.

It doesn't matter what kind of money one makes if the benefits aren't there walk away. Good 401K, Great Health Care, Sick Vacation Holiday pay, Continueing Education Program, heck evan a YMCA payed membership will outway any bonus as payment employment.

I'm a computer geek basically. Spend all day looking at EDI files for a member's vision insurance enrollment for my company. Been here 14 years. Started as a temp, and have just moved throughout the company.

I work in Graphic Design/Pre-Press for a local printing company. I get to draw on the computer & make sure everyone else's "poo" is converted correctly for printing on press.

I used to work for a Website Company before this, but I didn't like the sales calls that I had to make, plus the coding & server side was no fun to me. I just liked to draw & design so I got out of the web business.

Make sure you like your job most of all, great pay can't make up for a job you hate going to every day.

Did Terry say he didn't want you to come back after graduation? If so, I didn't hear it.

He said something about it, but I followed up with him a couple weeks ago about coming back over break to work some and he is yet to get back to me. I wouldnt mind their salaries and the extras that Terry offers but I have to look in case he doesn't hire me.

Well you shoudl start looking at what you like/tolerate. Are you good with math and the physical world? Engineering is growing like crazy. You can get your degree and basically work in any field as either a managerial position or a engineer.

With Terry, you have to be patient but persistent. Email him. Update your resume, exactly like you were giving it to GE and email it to him. No shortcuts. Stop by and see him sometime like maybe over the holidays. Don't compromise on the job you want with him. He will respect you more for it. Send him some info on your college too. He won't know how good it is unless you tell him. Good luck! :)
