So, I'm looking for a job. Am I unemployed? Well, do you count being a full-time student with two majors holding down two part-time jobs unemployed? Not exactly, but I am about to graduate and will soon be thrown onto the mercy of the real world. So what do you do? What am I doing?

I'm looking on Monster nearly every day. It's perfect for what I'm looking for and in general a great site if you have a MS/PhD in CS with 5+ years of experience. Uh, I don't. Frustrating when you type in the same search patterns every day and get the exact same old requirements staring you right back in the face. And why so many postings from the US Navy? Apparently they're the only branch of the service that has discovered the super-secret "monster" job site. But I put in some technical qualifications and get like ten postings from US Navy. Isn't there any way to tell them

a) I've already been in the military and had a hell of a time doing everything I could to get out ASAP

b) I'm 31 years old!!!

Seriously, isn't there any way to like switch off the US Navy button? I mean, does my dad who's 61 years old get US Navy when he searches? Maybe.

So, what's a guy to do who can't find work? Go back to school of course! And on that front I've been trying to shop around some of my work to see if any professors are interested in helping me get it published. The last one I showed it to said it brought to mind a hoax which came out a few years ago. Wonderful. Thanks for the encouragement.
