Like I said RD and DK... no one is really hiring. I interviewed with 8+ companies and most failed to even respond after multiple contacts. I have one job offer and I'm 90% sure they don't have MBA assistance.  I'm pretty sure 8 years into this company I have an offer from that I'm not going to make near 6-figs.  Its not a thriving, real rewarding company.  Not a bad job, but nothing I'm going to be making a lot of money with.

Dave Fritchen is going to be mad at you for saying that. 

But, then again he has really old ballz anyway. Dave is a  , IMO.

All you need is an accredited school to get the basic merit badge.  If you're not in a top 10 program then it really doesn't matter.  The top 10 program doesn't guarantee you dogcrap, I knew a bunch of guys going through some top programs in socal, it didn't do much for them beyond people going to fracking ucriverside.  Stay in school, get the degree from KSU, and learn to give a kick ass interview, which will get you more jobs than a degree from a top school.  There's a reason you had so many interviews and one offer, you suck at interviews, sorry dude.  Social skills are so much more valuable than the school you went to.

Yes, besides the fact that most of them said they "weren't hiring right now" (but still interviewing mainly for internships)

His department has 100% job placement and all the jobs are excellent.

He broke down and told us that wasn't true in one of his classes last year.

Dude, that's like a chick saying I'm not really looking for a relationship right now.  It means, she hates you and stuff, and she'd give a kidney to be in a relationship right now.  Same thing really.


Any dec. company finds positions for outstanding candidates, even if they don't fit the position they're interviewing for.


But I'm kinda being a jerk so, good luck dude, education is never a bad thing, unless it's from uk.

You could always go into law enforcement. Just not where any of your friends live.

Get a job first and see if the company will help pay for some of it....otherwise No...

This, Especially with a CNSM degree.  Once you're in the business you may find you don't really need it.  But, if you just want to get it they will compensate you for all or most.

I was '99 CNSM grad, in Dallas now.  DFW large commercial market is still doing farely well.

he said it's a sh*tty offer that he doesn't want to accept it.  i think that if he was smart, he'd get the mba he wants and spend the time he's in school working on it improving his network and looking for the job he actually wants, in a market that actually wants him.  but hey - what do i know, i just do this crap for a living.

Dood, ALL the offers are sh*tty right now, especially for someone that did Construction Science instead of putting in the effort to get a degree in Civil Engineering.  Maybe we just disagree, but I am coinvinced that an opportunity to exhibit your talent to people in your field (the people who will eventually be making hiring decisions or will know the people that make the hiring decisions at other places) is 1000 X > a worthless MBA from a no-name business school. 

Sound like a Civil Engineer that is jealous that the Construction PM's make more $ than you do.

So, you want to give me a job? It sounds great being able to be on ksufans while at work
