Sorry to everyone who has posted here that I have been unable to respond to. This thread grew quickly; which is FREAKING awesome - there is a list (on paper) growing on my desk every couple hours from the nuggets that you all are providing. I am a bit under the weather at the moment and have not been able to compose very intelligent responses (its difficult when your head is in the fog of theraflu and tussin). I have been really nervous about moving to the next phase (aka education to employment), but this thread has really shown me what I need to focus on more (a good deal of which I suspected, but now 'know' because of all of your help) and what I already know that I need to carry with me. Thankfully, much of what you all have said has let me know that I am aware of more of the basics than I previously thought. What I do not know, I now know that I need to know :) Thank you again, to all of you! This thread is more valuable to me then I could ever express with a simple 'up' rating :) Your time and words mean a lot, so again, THANK YOU ALL! -Matt
