sorry - couldn't resist.

Go Mustangs!

To be fair June isn't enrolled yet either

couch 'em is right.

One item to consider is the Degree from SMU. My waitress Stefanie at twin peaks just finished her degree in economics from UT.

I look forward to watching GG play here....love that he was wearing his SMU gear in Austin.

I am sure she has other attributes worth considering.

I am sorry, I don't understand, she has twin peaks and a degree? or because of economics she has to work using her twin peaks?

By the way that was Gilbert his Sophomore high school season! What 4-5 years ago? He has the tools to be really special.

It's too bad the games are not going to be at convenient times for me to watch.

While I have managed to stay employed throughout the current recession, I have personally suffered through joblessness.

After graduating from SMU with honors (BBA and BS), I was rejected for a job at Sam's Wholesale Club for a job. Until I started graduate school, I ended up working in a warehouse moving boxes.

It happens.

You missed out on the 3 most important rules of college...Network, Network, Network.

If you're still in grad school, I'd put more emphasis on people than you do on your studies. In any given classroom at SMU, there are 10+ people who can either tell someone to hire you or knows someone who can.

Please do share more pearls of wisdom with everyone.

Really no change in the last 40 years. It is all about getting a chance to perform. That Sam's job you were turned down for, was probably a case of being over qualified. Don't take it personally.

For some, graduate school opens more gates, especially if you have a "Dead End Dedman Major", like history or English. If its business you want get a degree in business. Just the environment of your classmates helps you network or hear about openings and interview opportunities. While I doubt there are 9 in every class, your network in your class will always help you. My son after leaving SMU and Wake, got his current job through a classmate that told him about it. Sometimes it is just blind luck, he got his first in NYC visiting a girl and met the recruiting director of Exxon in a bar!
