taklking about weeding out, I went to a state funded college, got a degree in SMT (Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology), when I started there were 44 people the class for that major, I graduated with 7 others. My second quarter, I took 21 credit hours, they called it HELL quarter, we lost 19 people that quarter. Also was working 2 part time jobs at the same time, averaged about 3 hrs of sleep a night. When I got graduated and got a job 3 years ago next week I thought I was on vacation for about a month, only work 4 days a week 12hrs a day. Make decent money too, would be better if the market was better, haven't got a raise in 18 months, and my last and only bonus for 2 years was 3 months ago. But I guess thats the way the Tech industry goes, what am I going to do, leave, no one else is hiring either... Keep your chin up, and nose in the books, IT WILL PAY OFF!!!
