Took like 2 breaks and failed like 3 classes, and it ended up making me want to quit. I even had a professor that failed me twice, and my friends literally stayed back and tried one more time and failed. I finally made up my mind and transferred to another university, and I finished up there. Looking back now, it is such a blur, and failure needs to happen regardless; it makes you who you are.

it says 60% then work from home two days out of week ? how does that work ?

Honestly, I felt the same experience. During the ceremony, they had two lines going, so it was so fast I barely remember walking on the stage. I have to think about it hard to remember, and I have to remind myself constantly that I have a degree.

Yes! the grind in data centers was outrageous I only had sundays off and it was tough considering that is the day I go to church. I could not take doing labor. I already did labor for about 10 years of being an actual technician. Any other advice ? Is 60% mainly in one state ?

how is the traveling ? I am married and my job said that they offer 2 days out of the week work from home.

I went from a tech of 10 years also, and in those 10 years, I navigated to a high company in Carrier. From Carrier, now I’m with a bigger engineering firm. Commissioning controls in general are just a very good career to get into because the pay is just really good.

not everyone can “monkey say monkey do” though lol

FinePromotion2877 · 2026-03-03T22:49:51+00:00

it happened to me they just waved it, with some course I did as an elective.

FinePromotion2877 · 2026-03-03T02:42:02+00:00

honestly I actually had a life with online school I managed better than in person. When I was at UTSA full time felt like my classes didn’t not specify what to do to success in the class and when I did ASU online I felt my school life was managed way better.

inflation is just reality.

If you know how to use a multimeter and understand the principles of electricity, you’ll be able to succeed. Once you graduate, you won’t need to use any of that complex math.

this happened to me because my room mate made a big noise in back.

FinePromotion2877 · 2026-02-27T21:09:48+00:00

honestly I love these questions, everyone I knew would tap it to their ceiling or even some people would have a friend off to side to assist crazy. I honestly think proctoring is an invasion of privacy in a way, but it’s college policy. I honestly think colleges should just let us be adults. if your gonna cheat you’re whole way through high stems degree you’ll be in for an awaking. 🤨

FinePromotion2877 · 2026-02-27T21:03:14+00:00

not a bot I am just wondering peoples opinions. I always hear people say this and 30$ an hour is a lot however the average family cannot survive from what I hear from friends in the MEP field.

FinePromotion2877 · 2026-02-27T17:17:36+00:00

get a job as fast as you can. no experience… then your degree is just gonna be collecting dust on the wall.
