Hi,
I'm a recent McGill University Computer Engineering graduate. Unfortunately I still haven't found a job in my field :cry although I'm working on some small projects for now. My twin brother is also a McGill graduate, but he graduated in Mechanical Engineering and found a job in the HVAC industry (which here in Montreal is doing great because of all the construction going on).

Re: What do you do for a living? (Boofers)
I'm head of IT for a mid-sized company outside of Chicago ... retired from Grainger after 25 years and a short stint with "batwings" (Motorola). I mention Grainger because they sponsor Greg Biffle (NASCAR driver who just won the Pepsi 400 at Daytona). After working at these BIG company's it was great to find a smaller firm that isn't outsourcing it yet! Sometimes smaller can be better!! :thumbs:

When I'm awake, I'm a regional environmental & safety director for the world's largest producer of construction materials. (Sounds impressive doesn't it? It aint!) Nine plants and 800 employees who cant seem to keep from hitting themselves in the head with their own tools. :smash: :(
