it takes time

I'm gonna be looking into some positions next month

just tell them when you will graduate

didn't want to do it too soon

because some places don't hire that far out

meh some dont

i dunno its probably a good idea to try for it

it took me ages to find a job

i wished i had started earlier

I don't think Lockheed hires anyone past 6 months before grad

im not exactly going to tell you you should definitely do something i was too lazy to do

just say its probably a good idea

why lockheed

I feel like that would be a good place. I want to do contract work with the DoD but I don't want to work FOR the DoD

fair enough

Lockheed does a lot of contracts with them so it would be a good start at least

afaik they are hiring new people right now

so not the worst ever

yeah I've got a buddy that knows some people there, but they are more on the aviation research side and not the tech end

so I am not sure how much help they would be

>shrug

can't hurt to try though lol

quite

it's either that or I try to find a job working at a network traffic monitoring center

talk about boring though

eh yeah

there is always going to be boredom though to some degree

oh I know

I just don't want it to be soul sucking

if you get more experienced like my dad you can dictate terms a lot more but until then

I did some work for a real estate appraisal software company recently and I wanted to die

absolutely no purpose to the work I was doing and it was never complete

no tasks had end goals

they were just open ends to more work

didn't help that they moved me throughout 3 departments in 2 months

so I never had a chance to see any of those projects advance

i mean bear in mind

the military is choking horribly on new technology

the corporate world isnt actually good

its just less worse off

that's where I was
