Well my days as a banker are officially over!!!! I thought I'd share with everyone some great news. Today I was hired as an entry-level archaeologist for Geo-Marine Inc. It is a large consulting firm with an office in Las Vegas that just happens to be about ten minutes from my house. My responsiblities are similar to what I was doing for Dr.J; preparing and compiling data for publications, computer graphics, maps, curating artifacts, etc. The staff archaeologist who interviewed me was blown away with all of my computer experience and knowledge of design programs (Thank you Scott!!). He actually offered me the job before I even arrived for the interview based on the information from my resume. He was also impressed with my field experience. Apart from the office work I will have to opportunity to gain experience in the field at Nellis Air Force base and will also have some administrative responsibilities. The pay is great as well as the hours! I don't think I've stopped smiling since I was hired. I quit the bank about ten minutes after I got the job.
I also wanted to say, as we all already know, that the experiences we are given at BYU are like none other. I don't think I could thank Dr. J, Rich, and Lane enough. They really do give us all an extra edge in the job market. This company had been interviewing for a few weeks and I was basically hired even before the interview due to the experience I had as an undergrad. So hats off to our hard working professionals!!!!

Full respect!! It gives the rest of us hope that someday we may be gainfully employed. Work your way up Padgette so you can hire us one day when we're out of school.
