They told him they still needed to talk to applicants and would call back next week. Another company called him today, but it turned out not to be quite what he expected (an on-call-only position which is problematic since it's not nearby).

Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm sure to keep you guys updated if he gets a job! We keep hoping for it every day. I have less than a month left at my temp job, and am still applying. I've had one call from UT El Paso that I'm among a "handful" of candidates they've narrowed it down to, but that was two weeks ago now and I have not hear back since. I know universities move slow, so maybe there's still hope. For those of you on Facebook, I'm trying to keep it on the down low there so as not to alert my temp job that I'm looking to "abandon ship."

CDNEH: Awesome. These things take far too long! I wish our case had been transferred, even with the delay -- NOT looking forward to our scheduled interview next month.

Good luck with everything. You thinking more school in El Paso?

Thanks! And oh goodness, definitely not. They called again today, and I have a phone interview next week for a graphic design position there. It's not exactly our chosen living place (desert, ugly, poor, Texas... blah blah blah), but working for a university would be a great great wonderful thing. If I decide to get a master's, it will only be to qualify myself to teach at the college/university level (MFA is the highest degree in a creative field, thus qualifying for that level of teaching position). And in order to do that, it would matter a great deal where I got the MFA from (you work below where you got a degree), so El Paso would just be... funny. However, Andy might be able to get a master's there in computer science, since staff get a family discount on course fees...

There are always benefits. I think a Master's is good no matter what field you go in to. It seems like you need alot of luck with only a BS or BA. I'll start taking a Masters couse in January; work pays 75% of the cost.

NOA 2. Really?
