John, thanks for the advice, but I interview well. The problem is getting an interview, and without experience in the networking field, your resume hits the round file pretty quickly, if you even bother to send one in. I feel free here to anonymously post my feelings, but when I'm talking to people, I'm always upbeat. I guess a lot of folks say things here that they wouldn't necessarily say in front of live people.

College is fun, but as a career strategy, well, its not always what they crack it up to be. I heard some more stuff on the TV this morning about how the "new jobs" will require technical skills, and while that's true, just having those skills will not get you in the door by themselves. It will still take the old fashioned "knowing somebody" or just being at the right place at the right time to get that valuable experience that you need to get a really decent job some days.
