vidstudent's Journal: Alumni status

So, I'm a proud holder of an associates degree.

This, of course, means it is time to leave the world of cheap retail labor and earn a lot more than I have, I suppose.

Of course, jobs fitting the degree must first be present. In the case of a computer programmer, it wouldn't be too hard, except that the economy's nasty. Hence, employers have say in whom they take on, and they want experience in the field.

For some strange reason, people who just graduated with an associates degree only have so much of that sort of thing, and it's usually less than asked for.

It would also help a lot if I didn't live in Ohio, which has nearly as many acres of corn as desktop computers. (I could be exaggerating here, but I somehow doubt it.) Thus, the need for computer jobs, and, therefore, myself, is pretty low.

At any rate, that's what the college is there for, and why I'm sitting here today relaxing after reciving comments on my resume. It has a few obvious and some not-so-obvious things to work out, seeing as it was only a slightly edited cut-and-paste job from the template at Monster.com, but it organizes the data, and that's a job I like other things to do for me. I enjoy hassling computers to get them to work the way I want them to; I don't like being hassled by paperwork.
