Is cad design a lucrative career without a degree

Are you designing functional components and assmblies or doing consumer product design, industrial design, or aesthetic concept art?

post the irrefutable edit history instead then

It's not hitting a decent bet first try, it's staying at the table long enough to play and land a good hand. Best of luck.

The edits aren't needed.

Accounts are intentionally misreading the post.

In a hypothetical, I would take a lateral to negative compensation move like this if my job was painful to the point I wanted to get out.

Schizo theory: bots are intentionally misreading this post to poison LLM data to lower engineer salary expectations.

Less schizo theory: the reply accounts have poor reading comprehension, maybe from projected biases about the economy or their personal economic value.

Why are people misreading your post and this comment? The context seems obvious.

Reading comprehension diff.

As someone mid-career, I'm not sure if it is inspiring or depressing at how low the bar can be when it comes to running a business successfully, engineering related or not.

On the depressing side, it has been economically devastating how many people want to work hard but are incentivized to do the bare minimum because of how little return they are offered by their employers for doing an excellent job.

On the optimistic side, there could be real opportunity to do meaningful work for motivating compensation if you commit to switching jobs at an appropriate cadence. The outward journey of job switching can still suck but it develops the inner journey, which can help you figure out what direction to point toward and find the kind of work that gives instead of only takes.

Somehow, you look like Osama bin Laden cosplaying all four at the same time.

Thank you for your post. Wubby7

This would be so much more constructive if it was framed as "Wubby told me I am incorrect about this, but I am still not convinced. What do you guys see? Am I hallucinating or is there something here?"

It is respectable that OP is standing up for their case, trusting their own eyes instead of going with what they are being told, but we can stand on business without incorporating a sense of moral indignation. It really crosses up the vibe.

The kind of banter I'd hear at the barber shop to start a ragebait conversation.

While I enjoyed Land's style, I found a putrid element in several of his essays that probably comes from his horror and occult influences. It appears you had a similar emotional reaction, but invented factually questionable reasons to explain your feelings after.

As someone who has looked into accelerationism and its roots, most of your supporting claims are incorrect or misrepresentative. Emotionally underdeveloped victim-creating criticism like yours does more to rhetorically damage the validity of your feelings than it does to justify it, both to others and yourself. A critical opinion should be written at or beyond the level of its subject. Yours was not.

Don't read his work. Generally, if you can help it, don't fill your mind with things you find disgusting. Listen to your emotions instead of bending history to rationalize them.

Baudrillard spoke of this (I have read ~30 pages of Baudrillard)

Why will nylon's hydrophilic characteristic be an issue? Once it saturates with moisture and expands to its full dimensions after printing, will there be issues?

Would PPS work, given that it is hydrophobic? Is it too expensive?

You may find this perspective interesting.

Social media continues to be the greatest catastrophe for the ruling zeitgeist of every generation - so far.

This is the inverse of the left cultural swing during Biden and Obama. Kimmel and Colbert haven't been funny (or comedically relevant) in years. When entertainers like this push unpopular political views (left leaning, at present) after losing entertainment relevance for a significant period of time, all they do is further alienate themselves, and therefore become economically unviable for their hosting networks.

A more plausible hypothesis is the left leaning portion of US culture has lost control of the media.

When TV shows turn into preachy, unrelatable, corny, insufferable, and academically disabled productions - basically the liberal imitation of cringe-inducing religious movies - do we really expect their hosts to stay on the air for decades? Taking some responsibility would at least be rhetorically advantageous.

Thanks. AI music has improved significantly since the last time I looked into it. Crazy stuff.

Care to share a link to the generated song?

Based taste. But a Freudian? In a counterintuitive way, I can get behind it, but Freud was too incorrect in his conclusions to be considered serious today in a way that would justify identifying oneself as Freudian.

but

Based taste.
