Hey guys, I've started actively applying for jobs online for the last few days (my last day of college will be the 17th of December) and I want to see what everyone does incase there is anything that I might be interested. I'll have a Bachelors in Economics but don't really know what I want to do. Suggestions are welcome of course. I've mostly been applying to insurance companies (claims adjuster) and banks (whatever they have) but I'm sure there is something out there that I'd like to do even more, I just don't know what's out there. I feel like those two industries wouldn't be too bad to start out in and would likely have decent potential to move up or around in the company, or at the very least, be good work experience to find another job. Let me know what you do. :)

Stu, you know that guy that plays poker with his mom? He is an adjuster and I think contracts with different companies. I dunno if you already have an in but he could be a good resource if you have never talked to him.

And how do you end up on the roof of a hospital?

How doesn't drunk Stu end up on the roof of a hospital? :rofl: He has some sort of instinct to get on the roof of things when he's drinking. I witnessed this several times at Chris Venturini's house.

Nate

11-28-2005, 03:15 PM

Yeah but a hospital should have some sort of security to prevent people from becoming clients while on premesis if they are not already.

Judging from the video of Chris' room I can see no sort of any disease prevention or security control there.

You weren't at our barbeque when I was jumping off the roof into a giant Blue Spruce like Spider Man. The original intent was to make the jump with a leg brace on, but I couldn't run well enough.
