Right now I'm looking for a job. I got back from vacation a week ago, and found out my work cut my hours in half. I'm beyond being able to be picky about a job now. I got screwed out of my last job offer, and it kind of took the wind out of my sails. Right now I'm looking at corporate jobs around the columbus area. I graduate in 7 weeks, so I just need something to start with....

College MIGHT be a waste of time depending upon what you take, and what your aptitudes are. I went to school with a bunch of people who were there, because they'd been told that electronics and computers were where the money was going to be. I had been messing around with electronics since I was 8 years old, by cannibalizing broken radios, TVs, and toys.
Too many people go into fields, that they have no native ability for. If more people would worry about what they already do well, instead of what they can make the most money at doing, then they'd get far more out of the educational system.
Also if you're already good at something it tends to come out in the interview, so you WILL get hired.
