The Return of the Pink Ranter

[SAT 9,609]

you know some of the companies that I've mentioned in the past can really use you. But will always try to hire from within.

Ford, Honda, Toyota....even Home Depot, can always use your skill set. But will always try to find someone within their corporation to fill the billet.

Thanks Nola!

I took MFE (I had P and FM). I almost wasn't able to take it because I apparently if you're not a US citizen you have to bring your passport!! Hubby had to race home and get it for me.

Did you continue with your math degree when you got back to the U.S? Or what are you doing now?

I applied to about 70 jobs.. and I got interviews with three different companies (and then one more place emailed me for an interview after I had already accepted a job offer somewhere else, so i guess that counts too). I dunno, I feel like it was pretty hard to get a job. I had a 3.7 GPA, two internships and two exams (later three). The entry level actuarial job market is pretty tough right now. Oh yeah, two of the interviews I got thanks to contacts. Ultimately the job I ended up getting was one of the first ones I had applied to when I got to the US.

I'm in one class I sort of need for it now (along with doing Spanish, accounting, and Norwegian), but with the new university I am hopefully starting at officially soon, they've decided I need 4 more math classes to get the degree, which is a shame because by my calculation it was certainly less (other schools don't require things like that). It is only a semester of math, so no biggy. The local school here and me do not get along or rather the professor that insisted I was still pregnant after I had given birth because I was so big, teaches one of the very few classes I need to graduate and he is the only one who has taught it for 8+ years.

Yeah, my cumulative GPA is not pretty, over the last 5 years and 110 credit hours I think I might have a 3.3 or something, but before that, whew, I can't even hold a teacher licensure because it was so low. Yeah, no chance for me.

I was supposed to start my dual major at this new school and be done fairly quickly, but I missed that MN's residency requirements are stricter than ND's and I want to save 18000 or so with the reciprocity eligibility. So I'd have to wait a whole year more to go back to it. *bangs head into wall* Save 18000 or graduate sooner? I guess it doesn't matter, 12, 13 years to get a BS degree, aahh whatever. At least it will be a dual Norwegian/math this time.

I don't know why I am torturing myself with school and I'm totally rambling.

Very glad you got a job, though.

Same with a lot of other companies as well.

Yeah, I don't know why you're torturing yourself with school either. You are happier being a SAHM, and your husband is happy with that.. so what's the point? On the other hand, it's always good to have a degree, you never know where life is going to take you. So, if I were you I'd save the 18000 rather than graduating sooner (Whats the hurry?). I guess if you have the time you could take the actuarial exams, but no point in stressing out too much about it.

And thanks

Always try to live East of where you work, so you don't have to commute with the sun in your eyes.

Have heard this, too, and it's among the wisest advice out there, sage man.

he could probably eat 2300-2500 calories and day and still lose weight.

Just weight... er, wait, quadragenarian man.

You should have been inoculated against this, first.

Gump and Co can't move out because they can't afford to now. I think Steve needs to plan a trip out of town for about a month, and schedule the exterminators to tent and fumigate the house for the entire month he's gone. But of course give a months warning to Gump and Co, that they need to be out by then.

A man called a pet store and said, "I'd like to place an order for 25,000 cockroaches." The employee said, "What on earth would you want with that many cockroaches?" "I'm moving from my apartment," said the man, "and the landlord says that I must leave the premises in exactly the same condition that I found them."
