There's nothing quite so good at forcing me to think about the future than a job fair. Today and yesterday I talked and listened to two dozen or so recruiters from a range of companies. I mostly looked into consultancy, strategic planning, project management and whatever is related to infrastructure and transportation. Not quite unsurprisingly, but the engineering and technical companies I talked to were much more eagerly looking for talent than the urban planning related companies I've talked to in the past.

I'm glad I have more than enough time to find something that interests me, though. The biggest lesson for me is that I still don't know what the hell I want to do, but at least I know better what I don't want to do.

A fantastic start.

I can relate to this. I've heard the phrase "We're not really looking to hire freshmen" way too much. I'm happy to get my name out there and network with some local firms, but at the end of the day I just want to get hired!
