D (a music major) graduated in Dec 08. During her senior year got a part time job with an civil engineering firm. They are booming. She went full time in Jan and they are keeping her till she goes to grad school in fall. They have offices in some of the areas she is considering for grad school and they said she could pick up part time work in these locations as well. She supplements this income with professional singing gigs (she netted over 1700 in Dec–with Christmas concerts, a great time of year for classical singers)
