Yes... there was a time when I kicked myself when I missed a Career Fair. But after the last one (not a week ago, the one before) that was all I got. Go to our site, blah blah blah. I don't even know why they staffed the booths. It was pointless, and the looks are their faces confirmed it. The one "company" I did get interest from was the army/navy/airforce, but with my opinion of them right now.... they wouldn't want me. > Many of us have had to face reality; there is no future in the computer > field.

I have a BS and MS in physics and I it's just as hard. With last slew of companies that came through for erecruiting, I actually had ones turn me down when last time they came they accepted me for an interview. > I forgot one: M. Torrie works at Food For Less I currently collect entrance fees at Antelope Island and live with my in-laws. In addition, not only does this take a toll on a person financially, it does physically / emotionally as well.
