International Relations. Graduated summa cum laude with Phi Beta Kappa and a Departmental Honors thesis, so somebody's gotta go for that eventually.

So what you're saying is that you are both a gentleman and a scholar!

2002 - 2004: Worked as a paperboy for one of my city's local newspaper. Entered High School around this time.

2006: Finished High School, and started my first year in University.

2007 - 2009: Continued studying at my local University; began working as a tutor at a high school.

2010: Still studied at Uni; worked as a teacher aide at the high school.

2011: Graduated from the University with a BBA in Accounting; finished working as a teacher aide. Tried to look for work during the summer, but to no avail. Went back to working as a tutor, so I could at least make some money and have some time to look for another job.

2012: Finished working as a tutor yesterday, so I'm currently unemployed. I have four interviews lined up next week, so the next few days are a make-it or break-it for me. Three of those jobs pertain to my degree with one of them being a big deal.

I am almost 36 years old.

Do you mean that you just quit today? Or are you meaning that you've been that since '02?

I mean that I've worked since 2002 until present day (how should I have worded it more correctly?). Who knows about the future but no, I didn't quit yet.

How long ago did you graduate? Are you still eligable for graduate placements (I mean a proper, 9-12 month one, not a 3 month one... those things are nowhere near as good)? They don't tend to pay well, but it can get your foot in the door / add a year's work experience to the CV.

lol, nope I quit to go to school but probably would have quit eventually anyways because, again, I suck at retail and not too great at customer service.

One day I had a guy actually come in and ask me (the Geek Squad agent) to teach him Photoshop.  As politely as I could, I told him that wasn't our job and even if it was, I didn't know the first thing about Photoshop at the time.  He then told me to grab one of the books off the shelf and teach him from that to which I replied he could just grab the book and teach himself (again, not good at customer service :-p).  He got all sorts of pissy, wanted to talk to a manager, manager pretty much told him the same thing.

That kind of thing was a daily occurrence.  Luckily I work and deal with competent people now.  ^^

Not sure what those are, of if they're like internships, but most internships here require you to still be enrolled. I am eligible for some internships as a recent graduate, but i'm trying to shoot for direct hire.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
