Status of your school/study/job

I graduated three years ago as an EE. Just now studying again to relearn everything so I can take the FE, the first exam and step of becoming a licensed professional engineer.

Currently looking for a new job. I'm ready for a change.

I also have a couple ideas that I'd like to start into a business. But, while I'm a good electronics engineer, computer programmer, and product designer, I have no business training and no idea how to get funding. I wouldn't even know where to start with getting a business registered with the gov't, and what type of business to choose. Anyone got any tips on that?

Right now I'm doing a whole lot of nothing except for taking care of my family. Ironic.

I'm waiting for Spring to start so people decide to start getting married again, so I can have something to bartend at again.
I've been thinking about doing music again a lot lately, so I'll probably spend a schwackload of time focusing on that in the coming months.

Whoa, blast from the past.

I'm back in Dev Support at Propaganda and working on the new Pirates game, but I'm functionally a QA programmer now because I do programming for a lot of the day. Also, my friend Cam, the guy with the most experience in QA (from being lead Audio QA at EA for Need for Speed for 3 years) has accepted a Jr. Audio Designer position on Tron and I got all of his duties. Awesome, but terrible.

I guess I'll just keep calling it Dev Support; yeah.

Try to find an "Executive Business" education program at one of the universities where you live. Our business school often offers courses and free lectures on the sorts of issues you raised for working professionals.

I am still in undergrad, working toward my BBA w/ Honors. I'm also in the Honors Fellows Program this semester, in which we teach freshman our senior year, which should be quite entertaining.

Working at a Fortune 500 company this summer as a financial intern. Hoping to save some extra money for law school.
