8/14    All these bickering over degrees and jobs fails to take into account
        into one critical fact:  most jobs people get is through personal
                                                      \_ ^H^Hare
                                                         jobs is a plural noun

        connections.  Only newgrads have to go into an interview "cold".
        For people with experience, this is hardly ever a problem.
        \_ correction: most *good* jobs.
        \_ I think you will find that, as the economy fails, even people
           with experience will be forced to interview cold more often. We've
           had almost ten years where that was not the case so you may not
           have seen this for yourself, yet. -- wrinkled old crone
        \_ No.  Most tech people don't meet enough people in a position to
           hire them later for something else.  For the most part, knowing
           someone will get you past HR and that's it.  You're still cold in
           the interview.
        \_ Shucks.  I guess I imagined my 2nd job out of school.  Please, make
           sweeping assertions like this and you don't have a chance of being
           credible.  Maybe that's why you're still in school.
           \_ maybe you're an antisocial loser that doesn't have any
              personal skills?
              \_ Or maybe I left the Bay Area before the economy imploded.
        \_ I jumped ship with my VP to my second job, so no HR nor interview,
           100% personal connection.  I posted to http://dice.com and got my third job
           thru HR and interview, so no personal connection nor head hunter.

4/17    Questions about recruiting below.  Thanks.
        1. Why are different positions called full-time, contracting, and
        intern, with "full-time" meaning regular permanent positions?
        Contracting and intern positions are usually 40 hours/week which would
        imply they are full-time (i.e. not part-time) also.
        2. What's the difference between temp, contracting, and consulting

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?

12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that
