During my senior year of college, when all us students began looking for real-world jobs, the career counselors told us that only 20% of all jobs are obtained through job fairs or classifieds. 75% percent are gained through networking. I used to think that this was because people are inherently lazy. Nowadays, though, I can see the real reasons

That last sentence is priceless.

:) Thanks. I hope you enjoy the stories themselves as much.

I still don't have my job at best buy.

It is like the worst of both worlds. Too qualified to work at retail because they know I would jump ship as soon as a real job came around, but not enough experience to get a "real" professional job.

Glad to hear on the job front. Have fun at grad school...it is an experience.

My apologies. Appropriate edits have been made.

Is there a pro DDR circuit?

And, more importantly, have you gotten your degrees yet?

There is a pro DDR circuit. I could be a roadie but not much else...but it would be a fun life.

The degrees are awarded but not delivered from Wash U (site of last nights presidential debates!), so that part is over.

Just a matter of finding a job.
