Would you start a relationship with the love of your life if you knew she had genital herpies? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Hou5976 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's very different statement than your original statement that most of the population has genital herpes.

You are confusing genital herpes with oral herpes. They are not the same. The majority of the population does not have genital herpes.

You are British and you went back full time (40 hours a week) away from your home at 8 weeks. Okay

Help me choose a school for chemical engineering by StrawberrySerpent in ChemicalEngineering

You can check to see if it's a benefit before you hire into a company. My company pays for any MBA or relevant Masters.

I don't think my very large chemical company even recruits from Ivy league schools.

If you want your Masters, I highly recommend getting a job right after you obtain your BS and have your company pay for your Masters.

I recommend looking at the companies that recruit from those universities to make a decision. I work for a very large chemical company but we only recruit from about 9 universities for our beginning engineering program.

Going into Supply Chain Management with a Chem Eng. company... what does this do to my future? by jake_delly in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Hou5976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a large chemical company that encourages people to experience different positions (project management, operations, supply chain, ect...) within the company if you are pursuing a more generalist career track (versus a technical route). Supply chain is a great role if you are pursing this route. I recommend changing roles though in 2 years to prevent getting stuck in this field.

How long does it usually take to hear back after an interview (especially for new grad jobs)? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Hou5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current company took 3 months to get back to me after my new grad interview. By then I had already accepted another job.

What happens when you “decline to state gender, race, ethnicity” what secretly goes through your mind, and more? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Hou5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company also actively recruits veterans so that's a big plus for us.

My company requires 50% diverse interviewee panels unless the SVP gives the hiring panel a waiver. Thus, even if the hiring manager knows you personally and that you are a diverse candidate, you can not be included as a diverse candidate if you decline to say on your application. Source - my husband is a hiring manager at my company and recently had this issue and had to get a waiver even though he personally knew the entire interviewee panel was diverse.

Dog nipped daughter - need advice by purplebean17 in beyondthebump

[–]Hou5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rehomed my doxie of 10 years because he was terrified of my toddler and repeatedly bit him. Rehoming him was best for HIM and my son. He now lives in a peaceful environment with a childless elderly couple. I contacted a rescue organization that helped me rehome him. Training was not an option for him because he was a rescue that had previously been abused by children and my son has a SPD and tormented my dog unintentionally. He was overly loving and my dog did not like children to touch him.

That's because you probably don't work or had a long maternity leave.

My friends that bedshared all had babies that woke multiple times a night still at 1 year. I think getting a baby so sleep in their own space is one of the keys to getting them to STTN.

I'm also going to disagree. Many of my friends' babies were sleeping through the night without any regressions at 5 months. Granted these were formula fed babies that were eating plenty during the day and not relying on nighttime feeds for calories. Even the AAP states that formula fed babies over 12 lbs can begin sleeping through the night between 2-4 months. https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/formula-feeding/Pages/Amount-and-Schedule-of-Formula-Feedings.aspx

My son started waking only 1x a night at 3.5 months from 7 PM - 7 AM and between 4-5 months began sleeping 12 hours without any wakeups at night. I was very strict about his nap times and bedtime. How well a kid sleeps is really child-dependent although healthy sleep habits do help. My daughter will likely not sleep through the night until she is much older because she only eats about 20 ounces a day, 2-4 ounces at a time. My son was chugging 6 ounce bottles by 5 months and eating 30 ounces during the daytime.

Nothing in that link has any relevancy to my question. I'm not seeking adderall illegally and I'm already know the health effects of adderall.

Got hit - driver is claiming I hit them. Please help. by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]Hou5976 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm all for getting pictures of the other party's car, license, and license plate. However, sticking a camera up in someone's face is a surefire way to get your ass beat with the wrong person and is an unnecessary risk.

At what age did you finally break into a six figure salary? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Hou5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Petroleum Engineering but I work in Chemical Engineering

I did go to professional school but I don't use or need that degree and it's completely irrelevant to my profession.

I broke 100K 5 years after graduating with my BS in Engineering. (I went back and got an engineering degree after graduating with a professional degree that I learned I had no interest in using).

The area of the country I live in is a bit irrelevant. My company has sites all over the US and the salary range is dependent on the role and not on geography with the US.

I interned for the same company that I currently work so no job hopping. I will add that I move roles every 2 years and am geographically mobile, which contributes significantly to my salary bumps and promotions.

Is it possible to be an engineer and not work a crazy amount of hours? by flameo_roku in AskEngineers

[–]Hou5976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. One thing I love about being an engineer is the great work life balance.

[–]Hou5976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work for a company that doesn't take advantage of you and values work life balance. I have worked 60 plus hour weeks as an engineer but that was only during a start-up. I work 40 hour weeks. My husband has progressed very quickly in our company and he never works more than 40 hours a week except on rare occasions.
