I refuse to believe a PhD in chemical engineering from one of the premier engineering schools is unemployable. Particularly given the likelihood, though truly hard to know for sure on any intertube commmunity, that your first language is not arabic or an arabic derivative.
It's not like your degree is in cosmology or evolution or other such useless disciplines.
Overall, I agree with what Hamsom Proudfoot says above, don't be afraid to start in the sweatshops and work your way up.
When he ran the firm, my Daddy gave me such a first job when I graduated from college with my 2.00019 GPA and a Bachelors of Leisure Studies degree, as Executive VP for Research and Development. Now when I think about it, it amazes me how I stuck with it: If I can say so myself, it was a humble beginning, with only a mid 6 figure salary, annual bonuses and stock options that were so embarrassingly low I rarely ventured into the men's lounge at the club for fear the topic might turn to the subject, plus only two secretaries and perhaps worst of all, a washroom I had to share with someone else in the executive suite. If it weren't for the corner office with floor to ceiling windows on two sides, I very well could have gone someplace else and completely missed the boat to Successland.
But I learned my lessons of perseverance and developed a keen work ethic from the struggle, one that I intend to pass down. For example, my own progeny won't get to sniff their trust funds until after their 17th birthdays.

Is it appropriate that the Moderator of such thread only has Dial-Up internets?  |

I'm a looser, but not a complete waste. At least that's what Clive says.

This does bring one thing into new light. Susan Lucci sure is one persistant bitch.

Firefox 3 Released!
Forget about "post of the year" that qualifies for "best post ever", well at least until Firefox 4 goes live.  . |
