Your right about adding experience in the enginerring field....nothing better than hands on experience. I know some guys who work construction and the mexican dudes they work with always are bringing authentic mexican food and they love it! Get them to hook you up with homemade a tomales!

yep I hear ya, i do roofing in the summer, if anyone has done roofing they would know that it is by far one of the hardest construction jobs, but i love working outside...Except i am the new guy (iwork for my uncle) so i have to do everything, clean up shingles, tear off, fill the dumpster, shingle and carry 90# bundles up and down the latter... get paid 10$ an hour cash and work 20-45 hours a week, its worth it at the end of the week...the worst part about the job is being on the roof with black shingles in 100 degree weather

I used to do stuff like that for money all the time in high school. Then I decided I didn't like manual labor and joined the Marines:bash: Go figure on that one.

I walk around a big store asking people if they need help. Most cannot speak a lick of English. I feel sorry for the older people there. 'Tis why I'm in college as well.
