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.

It's not just 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 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.  I've been through heck.
