All shipped from the Amazon wharehouse off I-10. 😆

It still goes on today. Companies come to most large universities to recruit the graduates - mostly in STEM fields. In the year I graduated, I think every EE graduate had a job before graduation. I see graduates in Computer Science getting starting offers of around $200,000 a year. It was much less in my day.

@British - while "living your passion" can satisfy some people, I feel that students should be told, in advance, that there are not many job opportunities in their field and that they may have to work in some other, lower paying, field after graduation.

The amount paid to a person for the work they do generally reflects the value in that work, and the number of people willing (or able) to do it. A programmer can produce code that allows the company to sell a lot of a product. Someone driving a limo is essentially selling their time on an hourly basis, and there's a lot of people who can drive a car.

As Mae West said: "I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better."

Mike - They shipped the new passport from Arizona (I think) even though you ship your application to Philadelphia.

This is shocking. It seems like nothing gets shipped from Arizona (based on how long it takes us to get anything). You know, we're in the Wild West and the pony express is kind of slow. 😂😂
