thanks for your all your replies.

Thanks KENAT, Thats all I was looking for is solid advice from working engineers that can lead me to areas where they may be openings. Instead I get bitter engineers throwing negativity at me for god knows why. I just applied for a position at Northrop Grumman at their Carpinteria location. The...

Thanks @andriver, Its tough to judge somebody based off one paragraph of just asking advice on how to better my chances of finding a job. Thanks for the advice, Emailing recruiters on Linked IN is something I haven't worked on yet. Ill definitely start doing that. Appreciate it

Who says a college graduate has any say where he wants to go? There are tons of working engineers ahead of me. Kind of tough to just pick where I want to work. Can you see it from that perspective or should I elaborate more? No offense intended, seems like people are looking at things from one...

Doesent make any sense. College doesn't teach you any real world experience. Great advice though

LOL get my degree again? what is that supposed to mean? We all know college doesn't teach you anything about the real world because their purpose is to teach you how to think and approach problem solving. So your advice on going back to school is probably the most illogical thing I heard. Sorry...

@Panther140 , I like the idea of reformatting a resume for certain jobs. Would you know of any resources where I can build a solid template from and reformat it from there accordingly? To answer your other questions I want to work in the energy field or renewable energy area. But thats the...

My internship was only for ONE summer. The following summer It was really tough and many students including myself couldn't find any work. Now This summer I have already graduated and working towards getting my FE exam out of the way. @TheTick whats wrong with LA? SF would be awesome but cost...

I understand what you guys are saying , I lived in Seattle for all my teen years and moved to alaska at 21. I just graduated now with a BSME and have been looking at jobs in LA. I dont like the rain in Seattle so I dont really want to move back there.

I applied about to 30 different places and no word back from any of em. Here In Alaska it is really tough to find a job in the ME field because this state is mainly funded on Oil and gas and when that is down companies begin to lay others off. BP and conoco laid off a lot of engineers here...

Hey everyone, fast forward about 3 months from my older threads I finally graduated with a BSME from the University of Alaska Anchorage (ABET accredited). Small school but great engineering program. For now my plan is to take the FE exam on June 29. I want to work in LA but dont know if i...

Its not necessarily HVAC related that im asking for dick. Thread solved [bigsmile]

I like Hvac design but since I'm barely graduating we use Solidworks the most for simulating/designing anything. Or Pipe Flow Expert. I hear the industry mainly uses AutoCAD which I dread. I dont know why, i could never get into it as easily as solidworks and pipe flow. As far as what I want to...

I hear what you guys are saying, Experience over education. During my internship I realized you barely use any of the concepts you leanred in College, so having an advanced degree can backfire. How about when applying for the major companies wouldnt they take a masters degree as a a positive?

True, I need to just get any job at this point then.

No offense taken, I appreciate the honesty as I wouldn't have been in this position if I had not procrastinated my first 2 years of college. I will have to get busy with applications then sounds like. I plan to take the EIT after I graduate, but I also hear that EIT is not that important for ME...

I've already checked and to get into the masters program at Cal state LA you gpa cant be lower than a 2.5. With the study habits and priorities getting straightened out I wish I could go back and redo my bachelors because I could have easily gotten 3.0 plus, I cant rewind time now so I have to...

Wow didn't think a masters was looked down upon in the workforce. Sounds like its mainly because graduate students feel they deserve more. Since my grades are mediocre and I am applying for jobs from out of state(only in the LA area), what should I do? Just keep applying until somebody gives me...

To be honest I want a masters mainly to further my understanding of the concepts that were introduced to me during my BS. I think I can offer more to companies and honestly want to increase my chances of working in a more desirable field. Not so much HVAC (my fault for putting this thread in...

A single pump sounds like a really good idea. The 6 trays are all at the same flow, I can say Taking out bends in the piping system and Using the main reservoir tank with a single pump would really help. I know hydroponic grow operations usually have a sweet spot when it comes to flow rate...
