| I'm really starting to get serious about a job search for after graduation. This is turning out to be very stressful. I want to find a job in the Minneapolis area as I have a bunch of friends and family here, but there are not a lot of Aerospace jobs here. I don't really want to start fresh in a new city but it looks like that is what will happen. |

HOPE YOU DIDNT DO IT
we got a dog that we loved, and once we had a kid, we just did not have time for a dog, so we had to find him another home |
I was thinking the same thing?! Especially after reading you had just worked 20 hours.
Next winter, say you have to work like that again. Your wife will have a new born....a less than a year old puppy....and another dawg to care for by herself?!
I have a 7 month old Cheasepeak Bay Retriever that is more than I can handle working what I do. I can't imagine throwing a new born in on top of it. I's suggest waiting until the new born is past the baby phase, and get one to grow up with it. |
We did not do it, thanks for all the advice. But we will be getting one within a year or 2. We love dogs and our dog I think will really benefit from having a buddy to play with a lot. Might name the new one Red 
Texan and Red, those are good names

Right now its an option. I was born there and still have some friends there but nothing like I have in Minnesota. |

Yeah, I'm the same way. I hear back about my summer research proposal sometime in the next two weeks, and if I don't get it I'm back to square one. Trying to network and reach out to a ton of people is tough as well.

I'm assuming NASA might have some aerospace jobs right? what exactly is aero space and who hires for it?

NASA does, but those are the top jobs you can get and they don't hire many new-grads. Aerospace is engineering for anything that moves through a fluid (ie air). Subs and cars (the aerodynamics) are a small part. The largest part is airplanes and anything that goes on one.
Minneapolis has a ton of engineering but not a lot of aerospace. I feel I should have my first job in my major. |

That's the problem, jobs are every where that I don't really want to be. Yall probably think I'm crazy but Minnesota is an awesome place to live. Yes it does get cold, but thats why we have snow mobiles. The summer's up here are the best in the country, maybe the world. The weather is perfect, you have long days, its great. |

You gotta start somewhere. Look for a job that either has connections to Minnesota (the same company has offices in Minnesota that you can transfer to when there's an opening, for example) or is in the field you're most interested in and that provides the best experience. Then keep looking for jobs and when a good one opens up in Minnesota, move back. Just because you start at a place doesn't mean you have to stay there.

For me its i'm training for a marathon, doing a design and build project, writing an AIAA paper and I have a job that requires a lot of time. Hopefully next year, I'll have more time when I'm out in the real world. These last few years have been busy |

I don't think anybody that's done their research would think he's crazy. Minnesota is one of the best places to live in the states.
