I am sorry LJ. I also have personal experience in being unable to find a decent job and wish the best of luck to you. Let me know if I can do anything to help out. Partially for the selfish reason of having this start, :P. I am going to be very busy next semester. I am going t be a TA for a class I have never taken, which means I also have to sit through it with the kids, and then finishing the rest of my classes for my PhD while running two different projects. Good training for being a professor I guess. How is everything going for everybody else?
