Title: Career Fair
Post by: cav58d on November 01, 2006, 01:42:58 PM
I just got back from the career fair here at Southern Connecticut State University, where I am doing my MA and I am really fluff'n pissed...Not a single goverment employer was invited...The only thing that slightly resembles the US Government was the US Navy Reserves, in a tiny table at a far corner of the room....What put me overboard was seeing two Army Sargeant's walking around, and when I wen't up to talk to them, I was told the US Army was not invited to the career fair by the University, so they came in their uniform's to walk around...........

really pathetic scsu...i'm really glad im investing a couple grand a semester into a University that doesn't care to make Officers..........:rolleyes:

Trying to think.. we had the Army, the AF, Army National Guard...

Navy was there recruiting civilian workers.  

Maybe your school is a dirty librul commie school.  

You better look out, I hear it is contagious.

For my career fair, I got one of the companies kicked out.

They were a subsidiary of Weyerhauser Corporation.  MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR bonus points for anyone who can name why I would care enough to get this particular company kicked out.

But seriously....Is it because the incident in OK, and the unwarranted search and seizure of property which resulted in termination of the guilty's jobs?

Weren't you the head of your college republicans?  Why didn't you invite them?  You must have a good network by now - talk to different people and give them your ideas of who to invite next time.

Well I'm with CCSU's paper and we always enjoy making fun of SCSU lol...  So if you're really that upset over it maybe we can run an article haha.

First I'll have to make sure the Army was invited to OUR career day though, which'll take some digging.

Weyerhauser cuts down trees, eats their lunch, goes to the lavatory.

How does it feel to think that if after leaving your University, if you join the military they will view you with contempt and scorn?

Sadly the "universaty elite" are among the most biased pretentious arrogant jerks on earth.
