Insiders getting jobs is the rule rather than the exception. You shouldn't be shocked by this, and it happens in big cities as well. A degree (or impending degree) means little - you have to work the problem from all angles.

That's a good point. I guess the "having connections" part is what I need to work on, it just seems the need for connections is exaggerated out here, as if training is completely irrelevant if you are so-and-so's nephew, or brother, husband, etc. I'm 27, btw, and have spent most of my twenties either in the military or in college...so you're right, I don't have much experience in the civilian marketplace yet.
