Ha! If you were here, and we were drinking a few beers over this conversation, I'd get the next round...

If you checked my profile, you'da seen I am a programmer wanna be. I went to school for programming, ten month excellerated course, full time. The graduating class one month before, 90% of the class was hired before they graduated. Between that date and my class' grad, the bottom fell out ot the IT industry. I gave up on getting in a year ago. I wanted to get off my knees(Union Tile Layer), and behind a desk. I tried hard to get a job in the field. I ended up scraping the money together to pay my back dues and resumed.(BTW, I am a fish out of water with the unions).

So, tis` a sore spot with me babe... lol...

Catch the other two in the morning...

Well, I am impressed. I always like to see people "movin' on up." Funny, my brother-in-law is almost the exact opposite: a college grad who never was at home in a white-collar world and is returning to . . . TRADE SCHOOL to work on robots!

I don't drink, at all, but I'd sure quaff a few root beers with ya.
