Soooo...I lost my job a month ago. The guy that owned 40% of the company decided not to fund the company anymore. Bastard! So I've been interviewing here in pittsburgh lately and im starting to get really pissed off!

I have a 4 year bachelors of science degree with around 9 months of financial analyst/consultive sales experience. It seems like the feedback I get from employers now is: "You have a very impressive educational background and internship experiences, but you lack professional experience so we are going to seek another candidate."

WTF!!! I mean why even bring me in for an interview if they know im 24 years old with little experience! Shit!

So now here are my thoughts....

Im thinking about going back to school to get my masters degree in something which will guarantee me a job when i get out! Im really leaning towards a M.S. in Software Engineering.

It's gonna be a tough decision though because if i do this I have to put 100% effort behind it! I cant be one of those.."take night classes and work part time" people. I think thats just a waste of time.

I dunno SHIT!

Maybe I'll just get into the porn industry.....here (http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tfr/235324938.html)




Any Graduate students here? Or Post grads? Any insights or major suggestions are greatly appreciated
