Fine! I will start ranting like everyone else does on these things…If you wish to enjoy my writing try and look past all the grammar and context errors (Tippetts I know this is extremely difficult for you) and find the message in the mess.

These next few entries are pretty much verbatim essays I have to write for this lame seminar class, I like to make the assignment interesting and fun so I hope you enjoy.

To work at Custer Co. (names have been changed to protect the innoce....actually to save face) sounds like a fulfilling and diverse opportunity. All that was presented about the job appealed to me except for one major thing, the hours required of you to work, 10-12hrs a day. I will focus on this for my paragraph. I am going through a rigorous curriculum to be able to get my bachelors in Civil Engineering, I plan on being a Civil Engineer for my career otherwise my effort to get this degree would seem inappropriate. One of the biggest motivations for me to get a engineering degree was that I would have a job that does not require more then it gives. In my mind working 40 hrs a week is plenty of time to dedicate to a career/business/debt to society…etc. If I was not concerned about spending the last 96% (verified number) of my life in the service of my boss I would rather of chosen a career in the Stock Market or Business, that require little more than a lot of your own time to be successful (rich), in my mind this is meaningless. Custer Co claims a high pay, 60,000 (yeah I know you thought Engineers made more) a year at 60 hrs a week is a lot less then 50,000 a year at 40 hrs a week (for those who care $19.25hr vs. $24.00hr). We (Engineers) basically minor in Math…you can’t expect this to slip past us! Custer Co claims that working 10-12 hrs a week is a mark of dedication and honor to your community, What? I would rather honor my family then your business by working more for less….in the long run. So when I investigate working for Custer Co more I hope I am proven wrong about this stratagem that seems to be lurking around the corner for those of us that seem to be jumping on this free work bandwagon (I fear that it may be inevitable…).

BTW does anyone have any suggestions on a career that will meet these criterion?
