Where did you find your money tree?

[Snipin_Willy]

After graduating I did have a litle trouble finding a job. Currently I'm working contract to full time coming this fall. Pays the bills, but not exactly what I expected to be doing with my engineering degree. I feel like I'm slowly losing what I aquired in school. I would like to be doing something more in line with engineering but I'm not going to complain with the job market continuing to get tighter. A job is a job and as long as I have one I'm doing "better than I deserve".

What's your degree in?

B.A. M.E. (Mechanical Engineering)

Or is that B.S. M.E.?

Just called it Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

lol... I love Linc's "treasure hunting" suggestion. Actually it really works. I made a good amount of spare cash doing that in college. Search around craigslist and backpage too.

I once found a dude who used to work for sony and got fired, so he was selling all his old swag that he got free from the company. I got a ps2, an old school ps2, and about 30 games (half were still sealed in plastic wrap) all for $200 because he was too lazy to sell everything individually. I broke everything up and ended up grossing around $1300 for all the stuff. It turns out he had two extremely rare games in the lot and one single game sold for over $600 on ebay. The other sold for $300.

I have a "normal" job now, but I still find myself searching craigslist from time to time for good deals. Its always fun to make a quick buck out of someone else's "junk".
