I did formula sae in college. I've worked for a legitimate race team. And its not like I had bad grades. And yet I haven't had an interview since September.

Worse is a friend of mine who had two internships at OEMs, Chrysler and BMW, and can't find a permanent job. He hasn't had an interview since August.

I'm flabbergasted as to how neither of have full time jobs at this point.


But my whining is pretty OT. So I think I'll leave it at that.
