jasonRose 0 #1 January 24, 2007 What is the deal I have to work my ass off and pay a ton of money and all the school has to do is give me some fancy paper. I think the darn thing should at least be gold plated!! They even charge you money for a frame. I call bullshit!! Tell me it is all worth it at the end!! Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people hang it and others don't. I am sure there is some sort of socail stigma on what you do. Thoughts?? Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!

unformed 0 #7 January 24, 2007 What people don't understand is that college is not about the nifty looking sheet of paper. It is about the hardened liver, the drowned brain cells, and the memories you would've had if you didn't go to college.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have my Engineer in Training Certificate (that was one helluva painful 8 hour exam ) but I don't live in Illinois so I wouldn't get my PE in IL... (My Great Grandfather worked out of Chicago) assuming I do... of which is may not be exactly necessary... though I may change my mind someday... I know of Materials Engineers that have gotten them (and they can be useful if an engineer wants to get involved in lawsuits, etc.)... who knows what the future may hold...

brianfry713 0 #13 January 26, 2007 I probably got my current job because I had just gotten a B.S. in Computer Engineering. My mom "misplaced" my diploma, so I never even saw it until she found it a few years later. She bought me a frame, but I just put it in a box somewhere. Then I got a M.S. and nothing at my job changed. I was a little ticked off that my annual raise that year sucked. I never even took that one out of the envelope it came in. Why waste another $150 on a frame? Hopefully I'll get a raise if I ever finish my Ph.D., but I doubt it unless I try to switch companies or something.BASE 1224, Senior Parachute Rigger, CPL ASEL IA, AGI, IGI USPA Coach & UPT Tandem Instructor, PRO, Altimaster Field Support Representative Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guppie01 0 #17 January 26, 2007 I'm doing pretty well without one.... but I'm also stuck in a job/profession that is not my passion. If I'd finished and received that piece of paper I'd probably make half my current salary in a job I loved..... g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"
