NWFlyer I agree 100% that is my plan. Just noting something new. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Well there goes that! Looks as if Linkedin is now doing the "ladders" thing. They to now have a paid $100k job search option. From $19.95 for basic all the way up to $49.95 for premium. Makes you wonder if it's worth it or just another scam? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

A MEN BROTHER! At the moment as it stands in the SIM there is little to no real info or guidelines as to canopy control. It appear to be one of those "learn on the job" kind of skills. That well....Shah points to right leg...can really hurt! I would rather take that $300 a day I would spend on two coached jumps, give them to someone like Brian Germain or another well qualified person and have a one day lecture regarding how to land safely and how to care for my equipment.

For those not familiar with the Intrepid air and space museum in NYC it's a boat. I'm sure there are limits as to what can and can't be place on her deck to the structural issues related to age. But it's nice. Shame they will no longer will be flying and it's a gosh darn shame we lacked the moxy to replace them with another bird worthy of the post.

In this economy? With this level of unemployment and lack of funding and jobs they are adding additional costs? I'm sorry why not go all the way and bring about some serious increase costs of entry. How about you need to buy brand new equipment before signing up? Or buy all of your jump tickets at the word go including rentals? Look the sport is expensive enough as it is! It can cost up to $100 a day to rent so so gear. Now a student has to drop $100 a day for rental, two $80 coached jumps, two $25 tickets? So each day they are out what? $300? And you need how many days of this before you can jump solo? I'm sorry but at that price how about the student says "Thank you but no thank you" and takes their money and invests it into say a BRAND NEW BIKE! As for you coaches, yes I now it costs a fortune and we students greatly appreciate your investment and well....I know one day I hope to be half as good as you guys such that I can coach others. But right now at this level of cost....I'm sorry. Not smart. It's not a viable move to increase the cost of entry into what I personally believe is one of the best hobbies one can partake in.

I need to dust off my old coppy of a great book "The Game". Turns out thought I'm older and wiser when it comes to dating and interactions women have not changed much since they were in university. This is a good listen. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2011/04/12/drew.wantmenwant.cnn?hpt=Mid Good god we men are so "normal" We don't like you...we won't call you. If we like you we will call you. If you want to talk to us...get your ass off the freaking seat walk over and say "Hi I'm XXX how how are you?" Wost pick up line EVER from a girl...last month girl "Hi, I think you are cute....will you buy me a drink?" I looked at her "Nope you are just not my type." WTF! Girls....if you want our respect....stop being such a bitch! "buy me a drink" frack you! Buy me a freaking drink!

Everyone, I greatly appreciate the info and the advice. I've updated my linked in and am working on personal contacts. Though the thought of being an independent contractor does sound very sexy I'm not sure I could at the moment. My outstanding liability with respect to my mortgage is a PITA. As soon as I off load this condo I will be in a better position to contemplate being a free agent. I guess over all I'm not in a bad spot. I'm about to get my EMBA from a very good university known for it's entrepreneurship and forward thinking to management and i have almost a decade of engineering and process work behind me. Thank you. I will look around and leverage my contacts as well as the net. Shah Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Wendy Well I know I'm done with engineer. It was fun, got to patents, had a blast but...yeah I'm done with it. Just no respect or pay in the field. So I'm looking at PM gigs....I think? The question is what industry? Though I'm an engineer I don't look or act or sound like the "AVERAGE" engineer. As I put it to a friend "I'm the management to engineer interface. My job is to translate what engineers say into words and concepts that are easily digested by non technical individuals." But that's due to the Six Sigma Black belt. Not the easiest thing in the world but very rewarding. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Wendy NWFlyer Thank you Specialized skills...I have a few but some will not translate into the civilian world. I have a BS in mechanical engineering with 8 years of experience in what would be called middle management. I have a six sigma black belt. A few patents under my employer and will be getting my EMBA this December. My issue is visibility. I have very little idea of what is going on in the outside world. And that' is 100% my fault. I just focused on what was needed to develop successful teams within my environment that I forgot to pay attention to what was going on in the outside. Right now I'm thinking of trying Ladders and see where that goes. I'm also leveraging my connections at the university where I will obtain my MBA. I have no clue what my skills are worth and don’t wish to be a "cheap date" on the other hand I have no idea where I would fit in. I'm one of those pesky innovators who keeps finding out of the box solutions that scare upper management but deliver above expected returns. Case in point utilizing Ipad II's to run applications to survey customers and to determine customer expectations and behavior to develop a model to predict future customer needs. Ever tell a supervisor you need to barrow the company card to pick up 6 Ipads for a test? And to within two weeks have hard data predicting future trends of the market? Yeah I'm that guy. But how the heck does that translate into other industries? Thus why I'm thinking head hunters may be the way to go?

Amazon, Thank you. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Amazon, Thank you. I half expected that's how it worked. I'm currently looking at utilizing ladders to obtain exposure. Just wasn't sure. And your experience has been positive? Also did they place you in a company as a contractor or full time. Due to liabilities I'm not comfortable as living as an "at will" contractor.

I'm just sick of people who think they can read my motherfucking mind. You asshole what makes you think you know what the fuck I want? Motherfuckers always thinking they know what I'm thinking.

Experience with headhunters for jobs. Who has had experiences with head hunters with respect to placement. I've been working in a given field for the past decade and due to my years of experience as an engineer I have very little line of sight outside of my industry. I've been told that though the internet is very nice it is not truly set up for finding higher paying jobs and that I should look for a head hunter. Only problem is this. Where do you find a head hunter? The preverbal catch 22. Thus, how have you found a headhunter and what has been your experience?

BRING IT ON BITCH! Read my mind! Also while you are at it. Tell me what I'm thinking I'm going to have for lunch.

Wow you sure seem to know me really well. Care to elaborate on my "requirements". Me thinks its the infamous size 8 requirement. Come on don't be a pussy. Dictate what you think my thoughts are.

Are you saying it can't be done? I'm saying someone needs to stop watching Life Time "Where it's always the man's fault." The guy wasn't handing her a drink he offered to buy her a cup of coffee. They make some really good meds for people who are this worried about the world. The guy said Hi he just wanted to know her better. Yeah yeah yeah....get over it! No random dude buys a random girl a drink because she looks thirsty. He wants to impress her. You know...that pesky biology thing again.

Something you, Shah, probably should be aware of is that any woman with even half a brain probably should have that running as a thought any time she's approached by a total stranger. Doesn't matter what the location is. Not that it's the over riding thought that dominates every interaction, but should at least be considered for a moment when a stranger walks up for no reason and asks to buy her a drink.
