    Well, I've gotta make at least $12-$15 an hour to live on my own in a low cost city. I don't want to be stuck in manual labor, and that pretty much leaves exploiting the skills I got in college. Plus, employers start looking at your resume funny if you haven't had any experience in the area you're applying for in a few years, if I want to be a programmer I've got to go out and get a job immediately. Otherwise I may as well just start working at the plywood mill until I die like my father.

    Everyone goes off topic, every now and then; but she does this in the majority of the threads.
    Can't she be reined in?

    Watermark:
    With your computer skills and your love for gaming, have you thought of trying to get a job with companies similar to Plarium or such.
    This way you could work on the next generation of role playing games.

    Have you tried hired.com, my youngest son got his latest job through them! They even give you a $1000 bonus.

    I see... so hired.com hooks you up with recruiters? I've never seen a site like this. I would be suspicious as hell if I just came upon it, but since you recommend it and say it actually worked...

    From a comment on an article:

    "I'd recommend passing on hired.com unless you are in the pits of desperation (e.g., absolutely no professional network or a hacker kid living in flyover country)."
    Eh... that describes me exactly.

    I can only go by the experience of my son, he got a really good job through them.

    That's how I started out dude and look how I turned out.
