    I got my degree eight years ago and still haven’t been able to use it. Every job opening that claims to be entry level actually wants five years of experience in something that came out two years ago.

        If you do, use the Circuit City/Toys R Us trick. Pick an out of business company for your CV so they can’t check references.

          As someone who actually worked at a radio shack towards the end, but got fired cause I’m not big into backing down and one of the old heads didn’t like me cause I moved fast. Not a physical fight, just a verbal confrontation.

          Like John, my brother in Christ. You weren’t getting commissions for like a year before I even started!

          But I kept the name tag for poops and laughs.
