Carrington College

Oh, I see now.  So Apollo was/is having serious financial problems and 
doing yet more layoffs.  Is that what happened?  Were you let go?  Since 
almost every company in Arizona does drug testing, I guess your options 
were very limited.  I'm guessing Carrington doesn't do drug testing.  
Based on their reputation I guess they'd have to be willing to accept 
whoever would be willing to work for them (see 
http://www.glassdoor.ca/Reviews/Carrington-College-Reviews-E341378.htm). 
Not a lot of satisfied employees - low morale; low pay.

But it doesn't seem they actually have any Systems Analyst positions at 
their Tucson campus.  Did you make a career change?

If it makes you feel any better, I too have just started a new 
position.  With VTech.  As a Senior Software Engineer, doing embedded 
C/C++ (you know, that "outdated" language, as you once referred to it) 
on their VoIP telephone systems.  It only pays $100K a year, though.  Oh 
well, that's life, I guess.
