I went to Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho (now BYU-Idaho). It's a private church run school smack dab in the middle of potato country. I graduated class of 1999.
I was a paramedic major. We spent our days and nights learning everything we needed to know to save your life, let you go or fix the booboo that just couldn't wait til morning.
We also did Search and Rescue training in the Grand Teton Mountains. High Angle, White Water, Cave & Mine and Wilderness SAR was some of the greatest times of our college life.
Until you have swam the white water of Hoback Junction, midnight on Halloween Night, during a full lunar eclipse, you just haven't lived! :~D
So, where did you go to college? What was your major? Are you working in that field now?

I am a University of California - San Diego Triton!!! Hahaha...
Class of 2006, I was a double major, both in History and Communications. I took both because I do want to eventually be a junior college/university professor in history, but I also have aspirations to jump into journalism.
Of course, with those degrees, I'm working in retail. :-P
I'm currently at the University of California - Santa Barbara working to get my Master's in Western Civilization and my student teaching at the same time, but in the meanwhile the part-time retail job keeps me afloat. In another year and a half, I should be done and hopefully I can get a teaching job.
