cottonmather0 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Mrs Cottonmather0 works for Schlumberger and says that for a very long time the qualifications for getting hired down there were a pulse and an engineering degree, so there's plenty of dead weight that can be cut. She also has a law degree, too, so I guess she's safe for now. Whew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
