That'd be perfect for me if I was closer.

 

I only got as far as background check and knew it wasnt for me. lol.

 

Sheeeeit, I passed. The investigator called me back and said, "Uh, we can't seem to find any info on you for a few years, this might take awhile."

 

not going into alot of detail. but i have a few charges that come up. that just happened to be thrown out but always are brought up at every new job. kinda sucks i fucked up but what do ya do other then keep on keeping on.

 

Seems interesting enough. I am kinda far away once I am at school though (Ashland). I don't have any real world experience with MS software; but I am a Senior CSCI student at R-MC. Maybe I should look into this?

 

.

 

I just meant state "computer" jobs in general when I graduate. Not this one in particular.

 

Unless it's a felony, violent assault, or drug distribution, should be good to go.
