Participant“Also one of the best ASIC guys I have ever worked with in the past 20 years is an SDSU grad.”
I totally agree that performance at work determines your career – one of my closest developer friends (because she is so awesome at work and as a person) got her degree from SDSU.
I do well at academic learning, but entrepreneurship is definitely a skill that I do not have the talent nor the courage for.
After graduating from UC Berkeley, I got my master’s degree from (much less prestigious) UC Santa Barbara. For some reason, UCSB doesn’t keep its computer labs open 24/7 – so I learned to ride my bicycle along the beach, watch sunsets, and LIVE, ha ha!

ParticipantI got my BS in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science from UC Berkeley, and did my co-op at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. The co-op was basically a semester-long internship; it probably gave me a leg up if I had wanted to return to JPL, but otherwise I think a summer internship at an engineering-oriented corporation provides just as much work experience. And the nice thing is engineering corporations have money to give to summer interns (and grad students). 🙂
Having gone on a pre-college visit to Caltech, I’d say that the engineering guys at Berkeley are just as geeky as the ones at Caltech – but they both can be really sweet. That’s probably because I’m somewhat of a geek girl myself. 🙂 What’s nice about the UC schools is the general college environment – the football games and other activities that aren’t always available at tech schools.
UCSD has a solid tie-in program with the San Diego engineering corporations; I used to participate in it when I worked for a defense-contractor company. I’m not sure what the UC Riverside undergraduate engineering program is like, but I know that (as of 10 years ago) they didn’t have an engineering graduate program.

ParticipantFor the IT industry, Abbott is the only ‘big company’ in Temecula.
I work as a business analyst in Information Technology, and in March I accepted a contractor position with Abbott ‘with the possibility of being converted to full-time employee’. Part of the reason that I moved from OC to Murrieta was the hope that I could afford a house(as a single person) after I landed a FTE position.
There are a lot of IT folks there ‘paying their dues’ in an effort to get a permanent position – working in a temporary trailer, sitting 2 to a cubicle (in the temporary trailer).
In June, Abbott announced a ‘change in direction’ and started letting go some contractors, including me. No worries, I found a better (FTE) job in Carmel Valley. And someday my housing dollars will go to San Diego (where I lived almost 9 years before my 6 months in OC).
Many of the Abbott IT folks already own/want to own in Temecula – you’re right about being nervous spenders…
This is my first post after lurking for a couple months. Thanks – I’ve learned so much from reading here.
