That is so true...take some time and figure out what you want to do. I learned early on that you can't pay me enough to go to a job that i hate. Do something you like doing...the money will be there, faster than you think. If i could do it again i would spend less time worrying about graduation and getting a job and more time having fun in college. The old adage 'you live by your means' is more true than you think. A bigger paycheck just means bigger bills.... so don't be in such a hurry to get into the "real world"...it sucks. :) My friends and i have been out of school for a few years and have decent jobs. But we often remember how we had much more fun in school since we had no money and had to be much more inventive in the ways we amused ourselves. ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
