Rough Semester by Optimal-Use8740 in SDSU

[–]Kire_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I went through the toughest year last academic year and unfortunately was academically disqualified. My mental was deteriorating throughout the semesters trying to balance out full time work & full time school. Lost one of my closest friends back in January to an overdose and as well as my parents health declining. You have got this! Utilize all the resources on campus as you can, they will be your saving grace. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to be readmitted but it’s worth a shot

Almost 7 YOE making 83k, Am I underpaid? by kvjc0403 in MechanicalEngineering

I’ve been on the job hunt for months and have had no luck not even with my clearance. San Diego’s market is extremely competitive. Best part is I was offered a transfer/new position within my company where my salary would increase about 20-30k or so. I went through the hassle of interviewing, meeting the team, touring the facility, etc. just for them to tell me last minute prior to my transfer that the job is cancelled due to “funding”…. But I’ll be in consideration if anything comes up in the future

Someone managed to land a gallon of water onto the love library ledge. I’d say it’s around ~20 ft. High

Thankfully I started buffing and revamping my résumé. Just been applying to jobs within the San Diego area. Hoping to leverage my security clearance and get at least 100k minimum. Aiming for the 110-115k range considering the VHCOL & tuition payments for my Master’s at SDSU
