I just got my General, now what?

Well today I took my exams, passed tech and general no problem after spending the last 4 weeks studying those two, I did try Extra for grins and failed it, not by a narrow margin either. Anyway I mostly just did it on a whim and I’m going to graduate as an electrical engineer in May so it could be useful in my career so now I need to get set up for transmitting when my call sign is posted. I could easily do something like $100-$200 to get started, much more than that gets a bit harder since I’m still in college so money is a bit tight. Another constraint is that I do need to be fairly mobile as I move somewhat frequently, again because of college/soon to be early in career. That all said, I’m not afraid of a soldering iron and know my way around an electrical schematic so some DIY or kit building is well within my abilities if it keeps costs down.
