I hope your additional degree will give you the edge you need.<br /><br />Just a thought, but might it also be helpful to seek out some specialized segment of the cost-estimating field? Say, medical care infrastructure (e.g. <i>"We're looking at doubling the size of our radiology department, and trying to project what that might cost . . ."</i>). <br /><br />In any case, I wish you good luck and good hunting.S.W.

I look at blue prints and measure what's on them and put an expected dollar value on it. I'm sitting at my desk behind a computer all the time. What my job really needs is brain mass, and I think I can compete on that level with anyone of my peers. And have.anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950712894174167863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108550322957278261.post-81188815515026393582012-04-28T05:20:43.055-07:002012-04-28T05:20:43.055-07:00You just need some more education, sister.

I worked at a university medical school for many years and often saw female resident candidates passed over in favor of white males. You have good reason to rant.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108550322957278261.post-4582454281121750482012-04-27T13:32:01.953-07:002012-04-27T13:32:01.953-07:00Thanks, Curtis.
