Dustin,
would working in an Engineer/Architect firm be the kind of work you do? if so, i know the owner of "Meyer Engineers" here in New Orleans and *if* they have an opening i *might* be able to put in a good word for you..
small family run business, but last time i was there they had some hella eye candy working for them..

I designed and looked over everything except the hydraulics. I don't really do much engineering work but I do some. I have designed quite a bit of structural and some mechanical items. I have also designed a few fluidization and jet water systems on the dredges. Plus other misc. things.

cool. I might have to give the a look if I plan on moving there. The hardest part would be to get Heather to move. She doesn't want to go anywhere now because of her new job.

The man is pretty nice, when I was about 15 he gave me the keys to his Porsche and told me I could go for a spin....fawking dad took the keys from me.
My girlfriends dad is in a company called Jacob's down here and they are hiring up to 5,000 people who can do CNC/Drafting/Engineers. Pay is amazing but you work 60+ hours 6 days a week and you travel a lot. If any of this is something you're looking for hit me up and I'll see what info I can get.
