He's been on 50% time at the University for little more than a year and at a payscale for a  beginning BS engineer. His time off was unpaid. He's done a lot of skiing and hiking.  It was OK in Jan 2009 when jobs were scarce but unacceptable now. He promised his prof 2 years and completion of project-It's done and he's free.  You can go back two years ago and confirm me. New job is good but again he's on the low end of payscale and on contract/probation for 3 months. The new company says it will make it up when he gets full employee status-but he's not betting on it. 

His needs are low and his wants are high. They better be careful. Like I always said, he'd be a good catch for some worthy young lady. evileye

 

Freddie and Fannie cannot be defunded. Too many of US and foreign countries/people/funds own bonds in these companies. Defund, US credit and reputation becomes worse than NKorea.

That's great. Did he get the specific job he was waiting for, or did he widen his search? Fortunate to be able to stay in Seattle, that's for sure. I'm sure he enjoyed the paid for vacations!

Right now my son is in Washington DC, courtesy of you taxpayers, getting a recruitment/info session from Freddie Mac. Though I don't know if they're going to be around much longer. Seems weird that they're spending a couple grand for 2 days of recruitment when they could soon be defunded, but then again...the government enjoys spending our money, may as well be on my kid.

DS is employed again. Still in Seattle, thankfully. 

In the last 10 days, He got couple of meals and plane rides out of the search/recruiting and able to visit with old CMU roommate and other undergrad mates.

I know what you mean, Woodwork, people like that are completely oblivious to how they come across, and are usually worse in person!

"I think my favorite mini moments are the posts about what a lovely place Pakistan is for the single woman."

Are you serious? He really wrote that?

He's a piece of work...but, consider how much worse it must be for those that actually know him. I suspect they are even more worn-out -- and perhaps he is doing all the actual, rather than virtual, people in his life a big favor by getting it all off his meager chest on-line in the void and last refuge of the fist-pumping braggadocio of the real-life coward:an internet post/chat...and in particular, CC itself.

POIH can't come close to Mini in braggart points. In a thread titled, "Son about to graduate, no job offer yet." With kids and parents writing about job searches, (bceagle is really trying hard to be polite, and doing a great job helping his son), people writing in with job hunting hints, mini is going on and on about his amazing daughter, with every last detail, and how successful she has been in her job search is going to make me puke. Doesn't this guy understand how oblivious and self serving he is to go on such a bragfest in this particular thread? This post (#219) made me nauseated:

"We joke with my younger one that, if she gets to the interview stage, she's got the job. Or the college placement. Or virtually anything. Doesn't matter if the odds are 40:1. Just get her to the interview... It has worked time and time again. For her Big 4 accounting internship this summer, there were 200 applicants for 3 places. Applicants from Wharton, Georgetown, Columbia, Princeton. Almost all with at least one more year of school than she had, and accounting experience. Didn't matter. Two full days of interviews. Every department picked her first. When she called to turn down an amazing job she was offered (there were so many), the folks on the other end asked her to PLEASE stay in touch, and that they'd have another job for her whenever she wanted it."

My aunt's name is Ivy. Kudos to her, she's a good woman, and an Ivy.

Anyone with the phrase "IVY" in their screen name automatically gets a couple thousand bonus points, surely.

I kinda fun thread on CC, Parents Forum, "Son About to Graduate, No Job Offer Yet."

http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1125494-son-about-graduate-no-job-offer-yet.html

Who can be out done?

Busdriver11, #259,  doesn't even place in the rankings.  Wirred about being a spinster.  Is there a name/word for parents who are shutout from being grandparents? 

BCEagle is trying hard.
