Well, after I left active duty with the Army, I came back to the US and began el gigundo job search. During the search, I drove as a courier to make cash (not too bad…pulled in enough to pay all the bills without having to use any credit), so I wasn’t unemployed. Still, with a degree from a top-notch school and years of Army experience as an officer, it was still hard to find a niche.
So, finally, I am employed in a thinking position. In a bit less than two weeks, I begin work as a mechanical engineer. Interesting, as my degree is in Electrical Engineering, but I figure cross discipline experience will be invaluable for future jobs (including engineering project manager, etc). Plus, I haven’t done any EE since college, so it really didn’t matter.
Needless to say, I’m quite pumped to begin using my brain again.
