I think the lowest common denominator was that fact that they were young lads in the Infantry. I don't think the fact they were from Indiana had much bearing on their intellectual aptitude.

The Indiana company offer came through today so there are officially 2 offers on the table.
We are leaning more towards the local company due to being established in the area and owning the farm which would be a PITA to sell right now. Terry and Legion I sent you both PMs Speedy

Good job! You've got to be one of the few people in the country right now with TWO job offers. Be proud. Be very proud.

I have signed and scanned the acceptance letter for the local job. I am trying to make phone contact with the HR Director to notify her of my acceptance.
It is a good opportunity for my family and I and it is a position which I will excel at. There is ample opportunity of professional growth with increasing scope and responsibility. Speedy

Outstanding, it's nice to have choices, even if the choice is clear.

It's a good time to be in Engineering. We are having a really tough time finding good candidates since so many people when I was growing up didn't go in to it since it wasn't considered cool.

I do have to say both offers were good ones with wages and benefits which are appropriate for this type of work. Graduating this past December I was worried most companies would view the economy as a way to pit hungry engineers against each other to compete for lowered wages. This did not seem to be the case. Good wages and jobs are out there for good people although there is a HUGE candidate pool in which to pick from.
I have the support from my family and friends to thankful for, including some friends here on Pelican. Speedy

It is done. I spoke with the HR Director and sent the signed acceptance letter. I start in less than 2 weeks.
