How's that, you pretentious asshole?
Have to agree here. Kellogg puts a lot of schools to shame; maybe even Fisher. :thumbup:

Whoa, guys, let's calm down. Let's get back to discussing how I'll likely underperform on my interview tomorrow.

Well **** if we are allowed to move the goal posts, I could take a 2.0 Marketing major from OSU and send them to a community college majoring in Biochemical Nuclear Fusion Physics and have them get a 4.0 GPA; and then say "Oh look at how easy engineering is, that a marketing major could struggle in MARKETING(lol <- MARKETING = JOKE/FRAUD) but get an 4.0 GPA in SCIENCE." Do I need to lay everything out for you? You'd think an engineer from the prestigious Akron University(where dat?) could make an accurate comparison with the facts already laid out in a reasonable manner. :laugh:
Except for the fact that community colleges don't carry engineering degrees.

This is what I do. Do you mind me asking who you work for?

It went well actually. It took forever (over two hours) but I came away with a positive feeling about it. I guess we'll see.

They said they had more candidates to interview this week, then they'd get back to me. They all seemed to like me, though.

That probably means I won't get it because I'm terrible at life.

I work for an independent agent of a large transportation/logistics company. It is just my boss, his son (sometimes) and me here in the office.

My job search ended today with a call from LG. I graciously accepted a position as an LG Brand Advocate. Basically, I have a territory of stores (Lowe's, Best Buy etc) and I train their sales staff on new products. I am extremely blessed and grateful.

Owens does. A lot of degrees there are 2+2 anymore where it has to be the same curriculum and classes at Owens before transferring to UT or BG

I got crossed off another list. Oh well.

I still have a few apps out there still. Not really sure what's going to happen.

I am still waiting to hear back from the OSU position. They were getting ready to make an offer to either me or another guy. I don't know if they offered the other guy, or they're stuck in redtape.

It wouldn't shock me in the least bit if it were the latter.

I interviewed for a state position yesterday, and it sounded like I would be a perfect fit.

BUT, I don't think they'd like some of the answers on a polygraph test. Evidently, they aren't big fans of people who say 'yes' to "Have you ever illegally downloaded music?"
