I'm putting this in here because it spans a variety of the other chit-chat subforums 
If any of you have a young professionals organization in your area, I REALLY recommend joining it or at least looking into it.   I just joined the Pittsburgh Young Professionals 
PYP  2 weeks ago or so, and went to my first event last night (a happy hour).  Not only is it a great way to network, it's also a great way to meet members of the opposite sex 

  They do so many different events- professional, social, philanthropic it reminds me a lot of greek life.  
But seriously, if you have something like this in your city, it's really worth checking out.
