  1. In addition... there are MANY companies that won't even consider an applicant for a position without a degree of some sort, whether the degree relates to the position or not.

    That being said.... I think the cost of higher education is ridiculously high, for a number of reasons.

  2. There are 3D printers adding metal to turbine air foils for rebuilds, so YES, the technology exist... especially for smaller callibers. Ever hear of the 'Liberty' pistols of WWII? ...simple stamped metal for the most part, but they served their purpose well.

  3. I feel your pain.... I'm almost out of the woods, but not quite (daughters a freshman and son in 7th...). The biggest problem I've had is that the subject matter, especially math, is NOT taught the same as when I went through school. ...and most of the time, they're not allowed to bring home the textbook to use.
    I found myself having to essentially teach myself math the way they were being taught.... until I got tired of it and gave the kids their own computers, introduced them to 'google' and 'youtube', and taught them to 'teach themselves'.

    The above is one of the smartest thingies I've done in the last few years.... :P Both my kids are rocking straight 'A' averages and taking AP / Honor courses...

  4. I don't know.... but it would suck for a rig to get grounded due to wear as a result of attaching weights to it. There have been issues w/wear as a result of demo flags being attached.... so what would a weight belt do?
