MoCo Fresh Graduate Job Tread

Read your post a couple times, sparkus, and you're all over the place!

BS degree, no pun intended.
Environmental / consulting is your stated interest. But you're not sure.
You help with some undefined asspect of refurbishing & sales in fam biz, impossible to discern what you do or your skill set.
You're messing around with web design (who isn't these days) & crapping around w programming (what, your iPhone?).

It's utterly impossible to assist you because the only thing you seem certain of is that you wanna gig at the beach. You're probably not too good at handling criticism, either, thanks mummsy & da-da for that crippling lifetime skillset.

Wakey wakey, if you don't know what you want to do, or at the very least can convey that you will give 150% effort to doing something, then guess what? No prospective employer is gonna know, or care, either. Welcome to 7-11: hiring every day.

 

Yankee is right about programming, AI is the future of programming, so a computer took your future job.

Yankee is also right about your skills, not impressive, but I'm sure you are young. But Yankee is wrong about mommy and daddy crippling you because if that was correct you wouldn't be asking the SI community.

Best advice I can give you is a quote " Get it how you live"

 

about environmental consulting.....

you are gonna need to be a PE (professional engineer) or a PG (professional geologist) to get anywhere in consulting. without a professional licensure you will always just be a field guy doomed to writing templated reports in cubicle land.

it is a great way to start your career and learn a lot. the work is good because you are outside some ... and in the office some. it helps to break up the work week.

 

first job out of uncw was as a staff hydrogeologist for handex consulting and remediation in delray beach, fl. contamination remediation was pretty neat work. there is more $ in that than there is in the biology side of things. bio side meaning wetlands delineation, mapping, or ESA's for endangered species.

 

Agreed.

 

All I see is a sign for d'jais. Where are you guys getting all this info?

 

did OP have second thoughts about asking for advice?

 

Perhaps I was too harsh

 

so this kid took down his post and cant handle criticism
sounds like he wont last in any job anywhere

 

Looks like I was spot-on......again........sigh......my work here is done.

 

He will probably end up being admin for SI

 

he wishes

 

Maybe he took your advice Yank and got a job at 7-11?

 

anytime this happens again, someone be sure to quote it so he cant back out

 

agree. you can't be a consultant without expertise. go get the expertise (which should take 15-20 yrs) then you can consult. I am in the bio field (Dx manufacturing). took me 15yrs to start making some money

 

That's a good call. The sparky snowflake kinda dodged & weaved on us there.

 

par for the course

 

too funny. he proved you right in a big way

 

since seldom is MIA....
