I am working on my BS in Computer Science, but am hardly the Republican that most engineers tend to be, and don’t really like the stuffy, ultra-conservative office culture. I can’t stand business a$$holes. I will graduate in two years, and am having nightmares (figuratively speaking) about spending the rest of my life working for some overbearing, bible-thumping manager. I know Google has a reputation of being liberal, but I watched their PR video online, and it was embarassingly repulsive and disgustingly sneaky, as is the case with most PR. I get the impression that working there would be no better than working at Microsoft. Right now the best job I can think of for a freethinker like myself would be some independent thing, but I am in no position to embark on someting as unstable as that. Any ideas? Advice from professional programmers would be greatly appreciated.
Poll shows continued weakness in support for the president’s national health care plan. In response to the question, “From what you have heard about Barack Obama’s health care plan, do you think his plan is a good idea or a bad idea?”

39 percent say Obama’s plan is a good idea, while 41 percent say it is a bad idea, and 17 percent have no opinion.
Approval of Obama’s handling of health care has gone up a bit in the wake of his full-court-press public relations campaign — it’s now 45 percent, up from 41 percent in April.
But it’s still smaller than the 46 percent who disapprove of his handling of health care, even after all the speeches and TV appearances.
I am graduating DePaul with a masters in Advertising and Public Relations and a minor in Sociology. I really like the creative side of advertising. Making up the catchy slogans, the cool commercials, the magazine ads, the whole campaigns. I would really like to further my education, where is a good school for me to go?
