Lance is right; healthcare is a great field. Keep in mind, though, that hospitals and healthcare consulting companies hire lots of people other than medical. I have a BSBA with a major in Finance and work as a financial analyst for a hospital system 
. Regardless of your degree, you can probably find a job in the healthcare industry (aside from nuclear physics or something like that

Good points made there Jack. Idk what to do 
Lance if I was better in science I would go towards something in the medical field. Biology and chemistry kicks my ass and those are crucial in that occupation. You're right about the economy not affecting the jobs though, people will always get sick and accidents always happen. Good to hear you and the girl are doing well. Get it son!
Bee I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the coils! I'm jealous. What kind of subs did you end up getting? I want to take a road trip so I can tape up my car and put dumb shit on it

i was the idiot who got stuck rock climbing. short story is the rope got stuck. i couldn't move any further up or down and had to be rescued. no food, no water, and on 1.5 hrs sleep i was pretty exhausted at that point. it was freezing cold up there for 8 hrs so i wound up stuffing my $10 walmart sweatshirt with dead leaves/grass for insulation, ate a few ants, even had to lie in some of my pee up there. thankfully my friends pulled some epic movie type ish and got to me just as the blackhawk copter came in for rescue.

Sure glad you're OK and no worse for the wear, I assume.

Proof why you shouldn't be climbing things you can't climb with just your hands and feet. Really glad you're ok, though. Hopefully we can get up while you're here for Christmas. I'll be off for two weeks, so I'm pretty flexible.

When? I've been there several times, but not recently. Went out Saturday, but went to Vinnie's, instead. I gave Taco Mac as an option, but my one friend picked Vinnie's...which was fine by me since I

So who is up for Cars and Coffee this coming weekend. I will be back down just for the weekend and will be bringing the IS-F out. Not sure if I will get time to wash it but I will definitely be there for sure.

I got my car back this morning. Looking pristine too. They took care of the damage from the accident and for only $50 they took care of all the rock chips on the front bumper. And it looks great!! Plus I am glad to be driving my car and not my mom's minivan.

Good to hear Lance! I know it's a great feeling to get back in the TL after driving someone else's car. I was driving my moms 1997 Dodge Intrepid for a week while my front bumper was being replaced earlier this year. That wasn't fun but then again it was better than kicking the boots.

Got any before and after pics? You got the front bumper painted for 50 bucks?

I'll do some pics when I get home. Bee.
Well, it cost me my deductible, $500, plus only $50ish for the rock chips. Repairing the rock chips was out of pocket since they weren't a part of the damage from the accident. But since I was there I told them to fix that too. Total bill was $700. Insurance paid $154 after my deductible. So in all I paid $546. It was worth getting the chips fixed cause my car looks sexy as hell again! They polished both my headlights too. They definitley washed my car and I even think they waxed the whole thing too. They were recommended be hendrick acura so the paint match is flawless.
