At this point in life the question of plans for the immediate future is very common. I’m a pretty ambitious guy and I hold myself to a pretty high standard. I was an intern at Northrop Grumman for almost a year and a half and always knew that when the time for me to graduate came I would probably receive an offer from them, but I also planned on looking at other positions outside of NG. Well April 2006 rolled around and I wasn’t offered a position so I went ahead with my plans and found other potential positions.
By the second week of May I had several competitive offers I was considering but I weighed what I thought was important and ultimately went with my gut feeling and accepted one of my offers. That position is with DreamBox Creations in Diamond Bar. They do web sites and web applications. It is pretty kick back (ping pong table in the break room kind of deal) and very small (I’ll make number 11 or 12), both of which I like after coming off my stint with NG.
So what am I doing after college? Working full-time and hopefully having fun at the same time.
1 more weekend of freedom!
Really though, I think if you enjoy your job the day goes by pretty quick. If you like what you’re doing while you’re doing it, you’re not really thinking about when it will be over.
I’ve gotten pretty used to going to be early and waking up early. So much that we even wake up by 8 usually on Saturdays! You know what your hours are going to be?
I am never going to remember the names of any of the places you work, so I’ll just call this new place “happybox.”
