This year’s career fair was very rewarding and helpful. Having the opportunity to speak with several different companies I found the most interest in pursuing graduate schooling. Through Educational Advancement Alliance I obtain information not only on how to find some of the top graduate programs in the nation, but how do get funded and monthly stipends to help while pursuing my graduate degree. Requirements to be consider as candidate for this pacific fellowship all fell within my accomplishments to this point.



Another company which was more focused on going straight into the work forces was Naval Oceanographic Office. This job would retain to going out at seas, oceans, and large bodies of water to survey the earth’s surfaces for cracks, displacements, volcano’s and other disruptions that may have a near future impact on communities nearby. With this job being federally paid benefits and pay are very good for college graduates.



Last but not least IBM was another spark of interest. With their business being more focused on computer programming they seen some interest in my abilities from classes completed. Explaining my most recent project pursuing in computer aided design they representative asked me detailed questions about taking more classes that would pertain to C++ computer programming if funded by their company.
