Gloat :)

[Aaron Koehl]

Aaron,

Congratuations on your accomplishment. I know that it took alot of hard work and dedication to complete this. This is a very big gloat!

I'm a Systems Engineer in a sub-field known as a Systems Architecture. I too started out as a Software Engineer but I moved into the Systems Engineering field while on the job. You indicated that the Government employees most of the Systems Engineers in reallity, most Systems Engineers are employeed indirectly by the Government through various government contractors. There are many of these contractors. A few really big ones that are international sized, and quite a few smaller ones mostly located in DC, Northern Virgina, and Maryland.

Hope the Future brings you much more success.

Indeed, Virginia's largest export is now government contracting!

Part of the executive pay plan is that my salary doubles every two weeks here at the 'Creek. I've been running it for, oh, 138 weeks or so; that's 0^(138) = $0.

With the recent gas price trend, I think your salary is doing better than mine, Aaron. (11 mpg work truck with a 35 gallon typical fill-up every 10-14 days, you do the math...)

Congrats on the More of the Same!
