Hello Adam First I want to say that you must have felt comfortable in posting your thread because you felt you were amoung the frat phile community and that's fine. So many times I have read that the bizz needs people like yourself to keep this hobby going. Second while this may not be the place to forward your skills there are many other sites where you can place your experience and schooling with much more postive results. Lastly Adam I want to close by saying the best of luck in your search, continue to follow your dream, and stay focused. Peace!

I have been buying and upgrading my equipment all through college and doing the best I can with my measly income from dishwashing. (Bringing the term "getting your hands dirty to reality)Well I'm now 22 and about to graduate and NEED A JOB! and a SACD player hahah Just joking uhhh well maybe not! Im very active on Audiogon but not too sure if this has been done before but here is my resume! Anyone got a job for me?
