    Graduating from???? AA maybe, or Seminary? Either way, congratulations on whatever you are graduating from.

                    Thanks for the comments everyone, I had a great weekend! I wanted to say congrats again to anyone else who has graduated and all the family members who have someone close to them graduating. Your support is invaluable.

                    I graduated from Rochester Institute of Technolog in Rochester New York. I have a Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have been living in Oswego NY since last December because I had to complete a 6 month CO-OP that is required for my degree (total, 15 months are required). I have been working at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station. I am currently seeking a full time position with the station and also with Goodrich in Rome NY.

                          So, you can keep working with the nanonuclear radiation levels at the power plant or swim around in batches of benzine at the tire plant? That's a tough call!

                            Thanks again everyone. Goodrich doesnt make tires. They make aircraft drive shafts and couplings and Im applying for a design position. Look here.
