Got my Co-op/Internship! ... With a Kicker

[XpL0d3r]

Just got a call from HR manager at General Dynamics. I got offered for a co-op job position for engineering! It's basically a full-time 40 hrs/week job where I break from school and work. I need three co-op's to graduate from school, and this one counts as two. Without getting into detail, it's testing/developing and implementing systems for missiles for submarines in the U.S. Navy. Requires a Top Security Clearance as well. Technically it's a Government job...

The best part, it's RIGHT in my hometown.. which is awesome.

Here's the kicker. My girlfriend was in the running for the job too. I already told her I was offered the job and accepted. She gave me the sarcastic "woo", and I'm pretty sure she's upset with me. But this is a HUGE career move for me, so I think I would have been a fool to decline.

The other kicker. I actually have a second interview for an IT job at Corporate Anheuser-Busch today. Pays less, and it would require that I find housing close to their corporate location.. but it's freakin Budweiser! lol.

dayum. sounds like you got good s**t flowing in your direction. the budweiser job would kick ass cuz you'll get a lot of free beer, but damn that navy coop position will look damn good on any resume

good luck!

oh yeah and now your girlfriend knows you are better than her so she probably won't ever leave you. in fact she will probably envy you and do whatever you want her to do
