Yeah, I was actually going through school to finish off the BS when I was between jobs and landed at the gen-set place. I was lucky to have that position and then I lucked up and found the position I'm in now. The BS I was obtaining and then later on dual Masters Degree didn't really help at the gen-set place, but my past experience in the industry helped. So it was a give-take but paid the bills for a few months until I landed here. And the whole divorce thing, unfortunately I can't help there either (hell I can't keep a steady GF).
You're right about the BA, unless it has "M" in front you won't even be looked at. And it's getting to the point you better not just have a cookie-cutter one MBA. There better be some type of specialization / concentration attached.
I hope the interview today works out for you. Maybe you can get a doing security at Delphi.

Again, it'll beat being without a gig. And who says you have to stay, use this as a temp then move on to something better.
Anyway, first your Lios lose to Philly (it was those uniforms; blinded and made the Lions sick) and now UAW striking:

Yeah, I'm having a rough couple of days. The UAW, is fighting for their lives against corporate greed. Until the large unionized company's like the Big 3 & UAW fight against these free trade laws and elect a guy like Dennis Kucinich, who is pro american labor their isn't much hope for this country. We are a nation in decline. 
Those Eagles Jersey's were indeed ugly but that's still no excuse to lose like they did.

That's what I think the real issue is, with the corporate greed. I think the UAW doesn't want to end up like the pilots / stewardess and mechanics from the airline industry. These people were point-blank drained of everything, while the execs got nice bonuses and raises for "stopping the bleeding and making the numbers". There were no sacrifices, no benefits lost on the exec; it was all on the workers, those that survived the lay-offs & down-sizings (or "right-sizing" as they later called it). There were still huge losses but because the losses where less than they were the year previous, they made the grade, got the money.
That's a bunch of bull ka-ka!!
And as you know, until it happens to you, you don't know how it feels to go through that crap-o-la!! I went through it with Exide (GNB Division) and there were tons of people that wanted (and still want) the execs heads on platters. Man am I glad to be outta that place

Yep, it's hard to accept a contract when you and your brothers and sisters are the only ones feeling the swords edge cutting into your standard of living.
