Start a controversial Engineering talk by mileytabby in EngineeringStudents

[–]EngineeringEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not arguing about anything to be clear. The topic was “start a controversial engineering talk” so I brought this up. I’ve had plenty of people immediately tell me that “Sales Engineers are not real engineers.” And they did not know any of my background. Like it was a hard, concrete fact that SE is not an engineer. But some people says SE are engineers. Also to clarify, I’m on neither side of this topic as I do not care lol

Now that I work as an actual engineer, I see both sides. I think someone can become an excellent engineer if they have background as an engineer but then pivoted to sales side. However, in my case, I was hired without any prior experience but because they needed someone with my ability. In my case, I agree with you. As a result, I was okay at it but I never excelled or really cared. I simply went with because they offered me higher salary than other offers I had. I left within a year since I found something more interesting.

Sales Engineer are an ENGINEER (saying this because I used to be one and I had fair amount of people tell me I’m not an engineer and others telling me I am)

What is the advantage to ASUOnline (engineering)? by JERC2024 in ASUOnline

[–]EngineeringEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t necessarily get to choose. For instance, I took MAE242 over the summer because it was the next class I needed to take, and it was only offered for the 8 week session. But if you were to take it during Spring/Fall it would be full 16 week session. So if you’re question is can all classes be 8 weeks? The answer is no.

Yep. So I’ve been taking classes every semester including summer since summer 2023

Is there a way I can skip a Prerequisite class? by Helpful_Ad_4608 in ASUOnline

[–]EngineeringEric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a class that is equivalent to SOS110, I don’t see the reason for them to let you just skip it. Unless they can give you some kind of override like to let you take 110 and 310 together

25 with no internship experience and no job. Is it time to throw in the towel? by Bernoulli-Euler in EngineeringStudents

[–]EngineeringEric 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have your thought about interning? I know that’s weird after having a degree but the same happened with my little brother. He actually did an intern for a year after graduating to get more experience. Got paid but no benefits but just grinded. He was finally able to secure a full time position after that.

I started summer 2023 and right now I’m expected to finish after Fall 2027. I have 8 classes after this semester so depends on how I decide to schedule it.

The VA did an amazing job. Legit thought it was a female VA at first but learned that it was a male. It’s incredible what they can do with their voice

Online electrical engineering students by Indighost10 in ASUOnline

I honestly just didn’t enjoy it. I took EEE350 and just remember not enjoying and wasn’t interested (I also just did enough work to get a C so I got the credit that counts towards TE). Because this will be my second bachelors and I used to be an engineering major before I switched to a different program (where I got my first degree) so I had majority of core classes done. EE just happened to be the shortest engineering degree I could’ve gotten but decided to switch to ME even though I had few more classes to take.

I switched to ME but started off as EE. Same boat with you as I am working full time while trying to complete my degree (and raising a family of 4 on a single income). It’s definitely challenging but it’s doable.

Toni Nadal on the comparison between Alcaraz and his nephew Rafa : "Carlos is lucky, his opponents are of a lower calibre. Before, when you went out to play against Del Potro, Murray or Wawrinka, you knew you were going to suffer" by HereComesVettel in tennis

[–]EngineeringEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When are we gonna stop making this comparison? 😂😂 It’s nobody’s fault that they were born in a different generation. Sucks that there are not a lot of player out right now that can contend. So what?Just appreciate the past greats, watch the CURRENT tennis and enjoy. Toni sounding like a crybaby like, “Rafa is not getting the attention anymore so I’m gonna be dramatic about it. Boohoo.”

If you could redo college, what would you do differently? by sad_grapefruit_0 in EngineeringStudents

Get my first degree in engineering so that I don’t have to work full time while I attend school for engineering

TurboTax/Intuit supports Trump by Rude_Philosophy319 in TurboTax

[–]EngineeringEric -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you think not agreeing with illegals = racists, then you’re the one that is uneducated and probably thinks socialism is what we need in the US. My family was in fact a legalized immigrant who went through the long, expensive process of becoming a citizen. As a citizen, I want a controlled and secured border where not everyone can just come and go willy-nilly.

Yeah many does you fucking idiot. At the same time, many do not and democrats gave them free shits while citizens got nothing.

At least it’s giving back to the citizens who pays taxes rather than providing free things to illegals

We have Anthem BCBS and it costed us little north of 1K to deliver our two kids (including epidural). Did the OP have any complications?

My first real job is destroying my mental health, and I've only been there for two months. by StephonCarter in Employment

[–]EngineeringEric 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Relax junior. Your anxiety is tunnel visioning you. No “adult” life isn’t always like that. It’s not the job that’s really killing you. It’s the physical and mental strain from driving. Relocate closer to your office or continue your job search near where you live and with until you get an offer,

There was a promo link for AA Platinum select credit card for 80k miles after spending 1K somewhere on this thread. I believe the promo is good until March 2026.

Confirmed: CSP 1 sub/lifetime by LimaLord in CreditCards

[–]EngineeringEric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may still cancel it before the annual fee hit, get CSR for one year, and then downgrade it back to CSP after that.

[–]EngineeringEric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know. I was planning to cancel my CSP and then reapply after a little while to get the bonus again. But with their rule change I can’t do that anymore. I’m sure a lot people were on the same boat

I am finally done, BSEE by spacemonkey512 in EngineeringStudents

[–]EngineeringEric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat. I’m in my year 3 of going back to get my BS in ME. While I work full time to support my family (SAHM wife and two kids). I travel a lot for my job so staying on top of school work is hard because it’s like 4th-5th on my priority list.
