As for the degree, dont bother with an Associates, it wont make any difference at all. I cant even say that a bachelors will make a difference either, I agree with some else who posted that the only thing that matters is experience. my advice is just go job hunting now. It will take a while...

I too am in the IT industry and the job prospects SUCK. The main reason me or anyone else I meet at work anywhere only has thier job because of a government security clearance (I work in DC). Anyone without a clearance up here is going to be working at Circuit City or Best Buy! My advice is...

I read through all the posts and no one mentioned my personal favorite used bike... the Honda Superhawk 996... so I thought I would put in my 2 cents! I feel like you do about wanting that low end torque but still wanting the sport bike look... plus, I dont want to drop $6-7000 on a bike right...

I am not sure if this will help with the scenario you are describing, but I used to live in a dry dusty area with a black car. I got one of those California Car Dusters and it worked great for getting the light layer of dust off the car. You have to do it a couple times a day though, otherwise...

Everyone has one as a show car and it has so much aftermarket support because Toyota is giving them out to the specialty equipment market expressly to develop parts for it! Thats the same thing Hyundai is doing with the Tiburon and GM is doing with the Saturn ION and the replacement for the...

I gotta agree with Shinzen on this one... those consumer credit counseling services are pretty much BS. First off, they are NOT run by federal or state agencies... they are owned and run by the credit card companies. Thats how they can "negotiate to lower your payments" and all that other...

OK, this doesnt add up... you say you cant work to save up money to buy a car, but you have 10k in savings? And income of $4400? Lending Tree is notoriously hard to get loans with, only people with good credit can do that. You have no credit, and you are trying to get a co-signer with...

Sucks about the accident, but the paint shop is being very cool... changing the paint color is a more difficult job than repainting the same color. With that said, I have always wanted the P5 in Spicy Orange, and I have always thought if I was in a similar situation as you I would have the car...

I have seen this before too... most "limited production" cars are difficult to test drive unless the stop selling well. When the RX8, S2000, MSP and even the regular WRX first were introduced, you couldnt test drive them either... but as soon as sales started to slump, s***, they were pulling...

I guess my point is that the forum is already organized, and your point is that it has outgrown that organization and needs something new. I still dont agree, but then again I dont surf the forums very often. I do know I never have a problem finding anything either. The problem has always...

Thanks for quoting that thread... if you actually READ it instead of just looking at the voting, you will see my point made over and over again. SOME MSP owners tend to think they need thier own forum sections, and MOST other forum members are so sick of hearing them whine about it, they want...

Anyone else notice that its always the same Mazdaspeed owners who are trying to get anything MSP-related segregated apart from everything else on the forum? Its like they think its beneath them to look at information that isnt MSP-specific. Well, maybe they are onto something there. You know...

Th 3M film goes on the hood and the front end, actually, its custom, so you can have it put anywhere you want if you can afford it. I cant... YET... eventually I am getting it on the Celica and the P5. You can search around, but basically its only available through authorized installers, and...

Read those articles... CA is on the camera enforcement bandwagon bigtime, and since Sacramento is the capitol, with all the politicians, it wont be long... And I do see your point, it IS better than a real ticket, but its the idea thats scary, I dont want to see it grow so big that its too...

Car and Driver has had some good articles about traffic cameras... My favorite ones... tells you about the money behind all the red light cameras: http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=27&article_id=1934&page_number=1...
