sales and marketing selling timeshare. Constantly trying to figure out how to seperate people from the majority of their disposible income through high pressure tactics and preying on unsuspecting tourists visiting from the frozen North while constantly reminding myself, "you da man".

I supervise the training for engineers, chemists, radiation protection and emergency response personnel at the Callaway Nuclear Plant in Missouri.

My real job is obtaining cigars and finding places to put them.

A college degree will typically get you a GS-7 if your grades were good, GS-5 should be easy. Are you still near the Gettysburg area? There may not be much up that way, but if you're willing to move east a bit there are always hundreds of postings for Ft Dietrick, Aberdeen Proving Grounds (my home), and the DC metro area.

Job fairs are great places to make contacts. Check out the nearby schools and see if the government is recruiting there, you usually don't need to be a student. I graduated from VT, but I ultimately got hired from a contact I met at UMD. Those sorts of personal contacts will mean more than a random resume online.

Currently work in the electronic repair deptartment for Nielsen Media Research.
Have many years experience in computers and electronics, but willing to do anything that pays more than I currently make as long as it is legal and ethical.

So you're basically a professional sleeper?

A couple buddies of mine are CO's and I hear some really funny stories.

10-19-2008, 07:20 AM

As little as possible.

But since the company insists I do something, I'm an IT corporate instructor for a large virtualization company.
