THANK YOU! Yeah, I'm still in shock that they're starting me off at $45,000...I mean, it's really unbelievable- WAY more than I was expecting. But I know that with that is going to come with insane hours and insane responsibilities. Eeek! The hardest part is coming. That's badass about this position being up on the list! And all this time I've been cursing grad school...lol And yes, I'll be coming to see you! I'll just have the dough to fly in and out this time. :)

It's going to be worth it though! That is awesome! lol Yeah.. Women with computer and information is on the list too.. Computer forensics specialists can range from 50K to 200,000! WOWSERS! lol I would just die! haha I wouldn't know what to do with myself. haha ;) I'm glad that you won't be too busy for us little peons in IN! ;) Apparently at ITT they can place you in a job for experience in your first year. That's not bad... I'm still researching schools tho!
