I always think its funny whenever this subject comes up on a forum like this, everyone thats not seen it done before calls everyone else an idiot.

When I was younger my dad showed me how to dowse with a coat hanger bent into an L shape. We were looking for the sewage line from the back of our house, because we'd just moved there and didn't know where the septic tanks were at. After walking around for a bit, I noticed the rod started lining up a certain way every time I walked past a certain spot. I showed my dad, he did the same thing, then we dug there and found the septic line.

I was maybe 10 years old, I had no knowlege of septic lines, the lay of the land, etc. All I was told was "hold this rod like this and walk around and you'll see it do something funny eventually." All we knew was that the line left the back of the house somewhere, and went towards a field, it could have been anywhere within about an acre of area.

I'm sure some of you don't believe it, but it works well enough I've seen DOT personel use it to find water lines under roads.

Agreed, but work is picking up most of the tab.

I like IT type stuff, but I realized I don't really enjoy programming which is what my undergrad mostly is.
I figured management might be a decent direction to head, since I know and understand the lingo, the technology, and could actually make some informed decisions.

Ok, caught me. But its not normal "unsecured" debt, like I said if they aren't payed you cannot bankrupt out of them.

I'll be graduating next summer with a Masters in IT Management. (Undergrad in Simulation Design Engineering)
75k or so in loans, and the year I went to college they jacked up the interest rate to 6.8%.

And to everyone saying its unsecured debt needs to actually look into their facts. Student Loans can not be bankrupt on, if I don't pay, the gubmint will dock my pay. Which actually is a better deal that paying the loans, the max they can dock is 15% per check, and my loans will be way more than that to actually pay.

The loans are government backed, they should be no interest.

great idea, until the mesh collects ice on it, gets too heavy for its supports, and is sucked into the engine. Engines are designed to take a bird strike, but not a big ball of ice and wire mesh.
