I don't know if its worth paying the big bucks these days for the privilege of being a engr. Otoh if I was going to go to the big school for something. I think being a M.D. would be worth the effort. A letter from a M.D. goes a long wayFWIW I dont care what the king of kings aka Shah thinks about women engineers or women in general. If he was a M.D. the young nurses would find him irresistible.

Pick up any newspaper in any town (that still has one) and someone is looking for an EE.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

sundevil777 93 #16 April 26, 2013 I didn't like it at all at first, but because of others watching it a lot while I tried to ignore it, it really grew on me. Sometimes some of the best things aren't appealing at first.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

uberchris 0 #18 April 26, 2013 do you agree that engineers are a born breed? ive always been good at algebra and decent with natural mechanical aptitude, and i have 36 months of free university education coming at me with my gi bill soon.........but im not sure if a degree in some type of engineering is something im made for...........i did good in all my coast guard electrical theory/ DC and digital circuit classes though......... thoughts? i REALLY dont want to waste my education, and i want to use it to hopefully get a secure career where i can make a few bucks, nothing spectaculargravity brings me down.........

I don't know if its worth paying the big bucks these days for the privilege of being a engr. You don't have to pay "big bucks." State schools where you live at home with your parents (~ $10K/year tuition) and don't have much fun still offer engineering degrees. It's also still possible to transfer credits in from community colleges ($3K/year) or advanced placement highschool courses (that counted for my freshman year) for much less money ($89/test, with many counting for two 3 hour classes).

JerryBaumchen 1,046 #21 April 26, 2013 Hi Drew ( that is my son's name ). Quote transfer credits in from community colleges That is what I did. There were three of us from the same cc who transferred into a 4-yr institution. Then every couple of months, the dean would call the three of us in and inform us that he had to lower the transfer credit hours for this course or that. That resulted in my carrying 19 hrs my last semester. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
