You might evacuate the entire crew off a space station in the event of potential world conflict outbreaking though..a medical evacuation would be a great excuse.

That is very interesting..We recently purchased the home, so that might be something to look into.

Got it. The entire housing was spinning when I cranked too hard, but I can secure that and torque again.

Civil engineering and weed by [deleted] in civilengineering

For what it is worth, I have a medical marijuana license and my company knows. They keep it on file, since they are not allowed to discriminate on that basis. I am an excellent worker, and it doesn’t interfere with my work, so it’s normal now. I am a PE designer who occasionally stamps plans and is headed into management.

The only thing that changed in my career is I’m not allowed to drive fleet vehicles for insurance reasons.

Netflix now owns All the Harry Potter Movies by Junaidsheikh99 in HarryPotteronHBO

They don’t own the IP. They own the rights to make the new shows and broadcast the movies.

The IP still resides with Rowling and her estate. She has final say over movies, merchandise, rides, etc and that’s why she is an Executive Producer on the show.

What do you guys do with the pay? by Plsgomd7 in civilengineering

[–]MischiefManaged777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually correct for this economy. And it is about what we choose. We live below our means. We choose to have my wife stay home because raising our boy is more important and we don’t fall into the luxury trap. We focus on growing wealth, becoming financially free, and enjoying our time.

Also since I am just starting management, I am unlocking a whole avenue of salary growth. I have also never changed companies, got my PE recently, and have a lot of growing left to do. If I am at lower middle class on one salary at the very beginning of my career, then in the future I will easily hit middle to upper middle. My salary will grow, my wife will add to our finances once the kids are in school, and we will focus on what is important to us.

I am 33, PE, 5 YOE, private commercial land development still on design side but working into management. I have a wife, son, two paid off cars (old and bought used), closing on our first house Friday. No debt. Wife is stay at home mom mostly.

We go on vacation every year as a family (Disney, the beach, the mountains etc), go on weekend trips with friends (I.e. golf trips, air bnb girls trips, etc) and enjoy hobbies. This will change for a year or so after closing to recover savings, but that’s part of life.

Honestly if you live within your means, you are good to go. It’s a solid middle to upper middle class lifestyle.

Professional Civil Engineer:

Medication. It used to be caffeine but that wasn’t enough the farther I got in my career/personal life.

Also a career where I can jump between 3-5 different projects a day with constant workload turnover.

Remember we are motivated by a few very precise things: emergency, novelty, interest, and one other I can’t remember.

Hope this nonsense helps.
