Congrats Mike!

[LBC mike]

I had my little GC company and made okay money after I got laid of in 2012. in October had some bad employees that resulted in a lot money lose. Had to redo a lot of things. So come November I was not bringing any money home that I should. the last 2 months I have been doing most of the work myself with some minimal help. lost some proposal contracts that were verbally givin to me. couple of signed ones. For my little company I was set to bill about 20 grand a month. 20 percent take home. Not much money. but was working on my own growning and shit went bad.

The wife had fits about it and was bitching a storm (don't blame her, so now she can shut her trap. Its better for my family and my sanity. I aged like 5 years in a year and half. too many gray hairs. I feel a lot more at ease now.

Thank you guys. Have been on this board and it has been great!

[LBC mike]

I have to start all over and I am happy with it. Be like a rising phoenix out of the ashes right? So when does fucking football start again!!!!! GO BROWNS.

No offense diehard but you are old and retired. You don't have to worry about job prospects or schools or interesting things to do.

I love the posts from grads who haven't even starting working yet. Call me in ten years.

Was that directed at me? My feelings... My feelings..

However will I consider myself successful if the cranky, old, senile man doesn't think I am?

I also have some experience under my belt, bub

[GuNNerGatSKi]

Silly engineers, going to school all those years....

Come be a roughneck like me and work your fucking tail off 80 plus hours a week, break your back, but make bank.

All kidding aside I wish I finished school.... I would probably be in law school right now....

But kids and bills and debt do strange things to a young man...

The bright side? Im only 24 and have plenty of life left to change it up if I feel so inclined.

Anyways congrats LBC Mike... And begrudgingly I congratulate all you grads and soon to be grads.... Jealousy burns deep

Yup... home grown, Case ChemE here...

Do you work in the area too?

Case looked nice, but I couldn't imagine going to school only like 15 minutes from my house. That just wouldn't seem like the "college experience" to me. Just my opinion though

The reason you can live cheaply in a huge house here is that the state sucks and is totally depressed.

Depressed how? Economically or emotionally?

When do you graduate?

2016. 5 year program because of the mandatory co-ops. It's a pretty good gig to get to work in your field and basically pay off your school as you go.

Yeah I think Cincy basically invented the co-op program. My dad got his engineering degree there so it was one of the schools I looked at.

I did one "co-op" the winter of my Jr year. It was really just like an internship in the winter though, since I only did one rotation there. Its weird working when all of your buddies are at school

Yeah, they did invent it. It definitely helped persuade me to go here. Considering that I've basically had a job locked up after graduation since the Fall of my 2nd year, I think it's worked out pretty well.
