As part of Chuck Kramer's Surveying I class, Randy Shimkus uses a transit to do a triangulation survey of a traverse. Looking out towards the SSX C Building, this method of surveying gives him applicable experience in this field. Getting a job is what it's all about! It became increasingly evident as jobs became scarcer and scarcer. Students worried about it as they cracked their books a little harder. A few continued to cram an hour before each test. Overall, most seemed aware of today, as their future became more than just getting a diploma. In the end, some made it, others didn't. Whether entering law school, working for Hallmark or being constantly turned away because of no openings, graduates' past goals and the harsh realities of today became tangled. Their future would become what they could make of it.
