I will be graduating with a BSEE in June 2006. I will NOT go into
management, I want to do design work. I am fairly certain that I will be
able to do just fine in design work without "moving up" into project
management.

I consider myself to have a lot of both theoretical and practical
experience. I have worked on many real projects as well as theoretical
practices. I do not believe I am common among what normally is produced
by my university [a statement which likely makes me look crass]
