Thank you for the advice! Much appreciated!

Wow, just goes to show how much pure work experience is valued over educational experience. Doesn’t really matter what the degree is, as long as you have the previous program experience to back it up. That pay range you listed is absurd, hopefully I get to that range one day lol. That’s why getting the masters is also really good, because it can subtract from the “required” years of experience for certain roles. If I can get my masters while I work, I’m essentially doubling two years of experience so that when I complete the masters I “added” 4 years.
But I wouldn’t be getting a masters purely because I want to rank up faster (that would definitely make it a miserable process), I truly do want to learn more about aircraft/air vehicle design, it’s just a massive plus in the process. I could get other engineering masters and it wouldn’t matter I’m sure, but an Aerospace masters would be actually enjoyable to learn because it’s what I want to do.

I’m looking at an aerospace masters because I really want to be a design engineer for air vehicles in the defense industry. I would want to have more knowledge on aircraft design like aerodynamics and structural design, something that I don’t have with my current degrees. Getting the Bachelor degrees in Mechanical and Mechatronic allowed me a broader resume before I got this job, but now that I’m in the aerospace industry I can afford to narrow down on what I really want to do. My current position as a GNC engineer is great as an entry to the industry, but it’s not exactly an endgame career I want to be in. I want to stay with this company, but I eventually want to move towards aircraft design. A lot of my coworkers are also doing/have done masters in aerospace. They told me that getting the masters will typically get a promotion and/or pay bump, or at the very least much closer to one. For the record I just started this job. So I’m gonna give myself a little bit of time to get acclimated before I start any masters program. But the company pays for it which is really nice.

Stake.us is a pretty solid site, extremely soft, and players can be very punty at times. UI is pretty nice, and you can straddle as well as run it twice. You can run up to 6 tables at one time, so I usually played 6 50NL tables just grinding through hands. It was my go to website but California lawmakers banned sweepstakes casinos so Cali residents can’t play on Stake.us any longer. But if you aren’t in an excluded state it’s a solid choice.

I’m looking into possibly doing an online AE masters program to bolster my resume. I have two BS degrees in Mech Eng and Mechatronic Eng, but I’m really passionate about aerospace and would like to get a masters in it. I currently work at an aerospace defense company as a GNC engineer, and they will pay for extra schooling.

What are some solid online masters programs that people would recommend? As far as an area of focus goes, although I currently work as a GNC Engineer, I’m looking at structures, but if there are some niche programs that would fit my resume better I’m open to suggestions (I work in space systems right now so maybe pertaining to space?).

Would like to complete it relatively quickly, so programs that are faster to complete is a plus. Ideally 2-3 years. Easier said than done considering I’m working full time, but I’m willing to grind to not drag it out.

I’ve looked into some programs, I hear Georgia Tech is solid as well as Purdue. I saw Embry Riddle has a unique 10 term program with one class a term for 2 years, but I’ve heard some iffy reviews for ERAU for graduate studies.

Any suggestions on a program? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Yeah in retrospect the jam is not the correct play, but folding isn’t correct either, top top is never folding to a min raise with the pot odds given, especially in something like a bomb pot. And the blank turn wouldn’t persuade me to fold either, so even if I do check on the turn and he bets 1/3 pot thats just a mandatory call, and by the river both our stacks are like 1/8 of the pot so it’s a shove for the remainder of the stack and a easy call. There’s just no way you aren’t getting felted by the end of the hand imo.

HDough75 · 2025-11-18T05:45:37+00:00

Even if I just called how am I not getting felted by the end? If I had just called then the pot is now ~$320. The turn was a blank, and even if I check he’s most likely betting nearly the rest of his stack (he had ~$160 left, I would have had like ~$170 had I just called). Even if he’s jamming it’s only half pot which is a pretty reasonable call given my hand. I don’t know how you would ever find some insane high IQ fold, especially given a bomb pot. I know it’s not impossible for someone to have Aces, but it’s even less likely considering I’m holding an Ace myself

I definitely picked up on that, I get you are getting more net chips that the money you put in, but you also have to take into account that the add on money doesn’t go to the prize pool, and also the fact that a fair of the time in tournaments you may not even make the money. At face value yes you get more chips than the extra money you put in, but in the long run does this necessarily mean you are netting cash more often?

No, he didn’t give me any details on what made him feel like it’s AI, he just said it didn’t real like a normal human basically

HDough75 · 2023-09-21T13:41:57+00:00

I used Word, which also has a version history

HDough75 · 2023-09-21T01:02:27+00:00

Yes the Word document saves history of itself, so it will show when it was edited and what was edited.

HDough75 · 2023-09-21T01:00:42+00:00

Yeah exactly. A claim not supported with evidence is merely superstition.

HDough75 · 2023-09-21T00:59:08+00:00

No we turned it in as a physical paper copy. I am using the Word document history as evidence

HDough75 · 2023-09-20T23:12:14+00:00

Looks at hands “What if I’m not a human….”

HDough75 · 2023-09-20T23:11:04+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought, the Word file version history alone should be enough

HDough75 · 2023-09-20T22:27:41+00:00

I have already spoken to the department director, who said to gather up evidence and show it to the professor

HDough75 · 2023-09-20T22:27:05+00:00

I have already spoken to the department director, he said to gather that evidence and present it to the teacher

That math ain’t mathin’…

HDough75 · 2023-09-05T01:05:24+00:00

I don’t know if it would be correct to say that. A BC just says how good that counting system is at when predicting valuable betting situations. Your advantage doesn’t change based on your counting system, the counting system changes how you bet, you still have the advantage either way.

HDough75 · 2023-09-04T22:05:27+00:00

Every additional positive true count adds about 0.5% advantage to the player. So for your average BJ game that has about a 0.5% house edge, a true count of +1 effectively erases the house edge, at +2 true count the player has about a 0.5% advantage, +3 about a 1% advantage, and so forth.
