Yesterday, I went to my career adviser at LTI, a director of career services. We chatted about job market, an automotive is the second biggest industry after food. Few days back I provided her with my resume. Out of conversation it became clear to me that she cannot help me. I said that in the future I would like to use my computer skills and experience, my management skils and newly aquired automotive technology skills to work for one of the automotive companies in the area. She said she places only entry-level.

Now, my question is: How much job skill does it take to place and school graduate in a Jiffy Lube entry level?

Here goes a chunk on my tuition money ($19K) down the drain.
