Another "Get Out" Thread . . .

Good for you.

Other thoughts:
Environmental engineering. There'll be a lot of jobs for the next 50 years trying to find ways to make things more energy efficient.
Or, like Petty said, the Navy. Easily the most preferable branch of the service. Except perhaps for the Coast Guard.

 

eh. that navy thing looks a lot better when you're 18.

 

and so do the navy guys

 

Nice choice, Pete. But I wouldn't go looking for a job in Dallas.

Anyway, as far as alternative careers, I'd pick nursing or anything in healthcare.

 

Is it me, or does it seem like there's been a few IT layoffs recently?

 

Too difficult.

 

Well, it ain't easy.

 

It's not that hard.

 

From my pimpin' days.

 

solid.

 

i would have joined rotc like i wanted to do in the first place, but decided against because I thought I was too good for the military.

Now, here I am, putting together an application for the Air Force's officer selection board. Better hours, better pay, and much more rewarding than getting the name of every jv kid in a cross country story.

Edit: Better hours, you know, if you're not fighting a war or anything.

 

That schlub in India isn't on-site and unless your idea of tech support is asking "Did you reboot the computer first?" then on-site is a necessity for hardware issues, some software issues and many networking issues.
