Determination (Score 1)

You have completed your master's so that shows you can achieve a goal. Set your next goal to be the job you want regardless of the Myth's floating around. I graduated from a state school and immediately started applying to research facilities within the federal government. I now work for a National Laboratory doing Computer Science research. They paid for me to finish my master's. Its all about setting a goal and achieving it. Do not listen to all the negativity found through out these posts. That is why they do not get the jobs they want. Good Luck! I am sure you will get your dream job.
