Where did you go to college?

When Did you graduate? I have a friend that is a VMI alum. I'm currently going to Community college in kc at maple woods. Woo hoo.
I am graduating this Spring from the University of Maryland. Double major in Computer Science and Math. It's kind of funny now that it is all coming to a close. I hated school with a passion for my first three years. It seemed like everyone was having a great time while I was stuck in my room programming or figuring out some proof. But now that it is coming to an end, I realize how much smarter I have gotten and how much I have grown as a person. It's pretty amazing
I am currently applying for jobs and feel like I am a little behind schedule. I told myself not to settle, even for a first job out of college.....but considering the economy, beggars can't be choosers.
Anyone hiring?

I'm at cc. he's currently in arkansas working as an IT guy for the city of fayetteville.
Bachelor's and Master's from Washington State University, located in Pullman, Washington 8 miles from the Idaho border.
A university of 17,000 located in a town with a total population of 24,000: 71% of the population are students. One of the VERY few major research and BCS sports institutions still located in a small town setting.
WSU has been called "the most remote major campus in the US". It's 80 miles south of Spokane, the nearest city and interstate. If you're in Pullman, you're there for a reason: WSU.
It is a fantastic town to live in and go to college in. You get a pure small-town college experience but you're at a major research university. Cougs (WSU students) are an intensely loyal and involved bunch. Wear the Cougar head logo (see my avatar - note the letters W-S-U in the graphic; the U is the Cougar's jaw) and wherever you go in the world, you'll hear someone yell "Go, Cougs!"
I worked at Texas A&M for 13 years and earned my Ph.D while there, but my alumni support and money go to WSU.
I currently work at Colorado State University, another land-grant institution which is located in a very cool town, and I run distance education programs. CSU has lot of distance degree programs, many of which i was involved in building over the past 11 years.

B.A. with Honors in History (minor in Poli Sci), Swarthmore College, Swarthmore PA (it's a very small liberal arts college -- 1300 students, kind of like Williams or Amherst).
M.A. in African History, Stanford University.
FWIW, Swarthmore was much harder than grad school at Stanford. They had a saying at Swarthmore: Getting an education at Swarthmore is like getting a drink from a fire hose.

I currently go to University of Houston-Clear Lake. I'm graduating with a B.S. in Marketing and Management (two diff majors) in the spring.
That's a sister school of the main UH campus, which, for those of you who follow college sports, might know as "Houston". I used to go to the main campus, but the main campus has (no exaggeration) over 35,000 students...and classes where I would sit in an auditorium with 300-400 fellow classmates was not a very good learning environment for me, so I transferred out.
Like WSU and BYU, they go by the Cougars. What an original name.
I plan on getting either a MBA or a JD at some point in my life - if I do, I definitely want to go to a more "big name" school, like Rice or UT.

. I just left fedex after 10.5 years for this opportunity. Big step, but the income increase was substantial. Maybe I can start paying off all the gear I charged on credit cards now :/
