    They sent a recruiter out to my school, but they're not on the list of folks I'm allowed to work for under the grant that paid for me to go, so unless I want to shell $3000 just to work for TransAm (and I don't) ... no.

    In this case it depends on who's funding the grant. There are apparently other grants that have other lists of companies on them, where TransAm is on the list -- I have seen those lists but didn't go through that grant.

    TransAm actually did send a recruiter to our school, and at least one of the guys in my class intends to go with them and i didn't hear anything from them or about them in my research that raises red flags.
