So to be honest it has been a little while since I posted "heavily" but life has been good to me.
I finished my BS in Mechanical Engineering in April of this year, and thought to my self, "Great now you have joined the 12% of America that is unemployed." After over 300 resumes and applications I had only gotten two call-backs and/or interviews, then things worked out. A neighbor who works at a staffing place called me and told me to send her my resume with in the next hour or so, a few days later I had a phone interview with them and the fallowing week the flew me out for an in-person interview. It all went well and I got a job offer the next day.
The next week we made arrangements, packed up the family and moved from South-East Idaho to North of Seattle. I have been working for about a month now as a design engineer for a company that designs and builds aircraft interiors, and I love it.

So to be honest there isn't much Busse content except to say that The Yard was more than once my stress reducer after a nasty day of classes and tests and to now know that I am making a real income and can allocate funds for sharpened pry-bars from my favorite knife company, SYKC.

So here is a (crappy) pic of a honest EDC for a few days
I love that Scrapper 5.

CONGRATULATION James! Well after spending 2 years at Mountain Home AFB I know you have moved from a pretty part of the country to hopefully an even prettier part. You can now join the Nothern boys in all the fun and festivities!

Well done and welcome to the world of the 88 percent employed!

Congrats man! It's good to know that degrees are still worth something these days. I just got offered a fantastic job that pays twice what I get paid now (I make a decent wage now, but live in a very expensive city,) but the catch is that the job is is SLC Utah. I live in Boston and don't know if I can just uproot my whole life and move there without ever seeing the city.

Anyways, this thread is not about that. Make sure to enjoy your work and spend your hard earned cash on some Bussekin!!! Congrats again!
