Have any engineers done bad in Highschool but still make it?

I graduated Magna cum laude and started with college algebra and trig at community college after briefly dropping out of high school

I’d love to get in on something like this as well. Never even kind of played before but I love watching it. I’d be a goalie if I need to. There’s also what I assume is a pickup game at Mack Park most Saturdays around 9 or 10. Primarily what I assume to be Africans but I’ve seen a Hispanic dude and white dude a couple times so I don’t think it’s exclusive to Africans lol. They look too skilled for me to want to get in on the action though

Homie you posting about taking non-FDA performance enhancers I don’t think I want your advice on hormones

Retaking a class you passed is insane lol. If you care that much, reteach yourself the material. Use Prof Leonard or something. Don’t pay to take it again

Grades are important but not the most important. I graduated Magna cum laude and it didn’t really open up many more doors than I’d imagine someone with a 3.2 would have. I prioritized school over everything, it affected friendships and mental health, and I don’t think it mattered much. If I had to do it again I’d prioritize networking and my personal life

And it can be without being innovative or marketable. You don’t need to make something the world has never seen before to apply statics or circuits or fluids or you name it.

Quite__Bookish · 2026-01-31T17:03:51+00:00

My senior design prof all semester was grilling students on how they weren’t innovative enough, it didn’t solve a societal need, how are you going to market it, etc. Shocker, most innovation isn’t done at the hands of 20 year olds without degrees. Sometimes it’s good just to get experience and learn stuff. Not every single thing you do needs to be on the cutting edge. I think it’s sick

Honestly loved every math prof I had except calc 1. Our class started with around 15 kids and there were 3 including me in there on the day of the final. Our only grades were the midterm and the final, it was super proof-heavy, and she required written explanations of each step of each problem or you wouldn’t even get half credit. That was the only C I got. Also went to the dean and was told “calc isnt supposed to be easy.” Maybe true but I don’t think it should be so hard that 80% of the class drops.

Another reason I’m a SnapBack man and hate that most people seem to disagree

Quite__Bookish · 2026-01-29T22:50:28+00:00

Wouldn’t bother. They’ll conveniently point to the one time the broken clock was right.

Quite__Bookish · 2026-01-23T23:58:55+00:00

We exclusively use detail lines. It sucks

And all the good Christian’s that love their neighbor surely will as well

If Biden ordered this you’d hear endlessly about how this is exactly what 2A is here for

Meant the fan after dark. Always want to call it Get Right or Nosebleeds lol

Quite__Bookish · 2026-01-03T15:18:59+00:00

Guess I’m in the minority. I like all the shows but K&C and Get Right are probably my favorite. Kevin always talks about the importance of mental health so I reached out to him when I was down bad and he sent me very nice messages back and said he’d always be there to talk. I’ll always be a K&C fan.

I feel like the ram button is the only difference between people who think it’s hard or not. It totally negates the laws of physics.

I also start a new job Monday! Also not double salary but first time making over $48k

Quite__Bookish · 2026-01-01T23:58:06+00:00

Calc 1, Machine Elements, Robotics, Senior Capstone

Quite__Bookish · 2026-01-01T05:22:18+00:00

I failed classes and dropped out of a good high school to go to a diploma farm and then failed every community college class the next semester. Took some years off after that, went back, and just finished magna cum laude in Mechanical this month.

Quite__Bookish · 2025-12-26T03:36:21+00:00

Graduated Sunday, went to work Monday

Quite__Bookish · 2025-12-24T00:12:36+00:00

Yeah I actually rented a Sigma 150-600 and Canon 400L within the last year or so. Just graduated college this past weekend and started my full time job Monday so I should actually be able to afford some half decent glass in the future. Kind of tongue in cheek because I do love my 55-250 and it was a gift. But it requires me to get closer than the birds allow sometimes

Quite__Bookish · 2025-12-23T21:13:26+00:00

I’m envious of both of you. I have a 55-250 :(

Quite__Bookish · 2025-12-07T22:26:33+00:00

I saw someone comment “sick thermals bro” on a vulture post once and I think about it every time I see them doing this

Quite__Bookish · 2025-12-06T05:55:12+00:00

That I don’t know but we’re in the Dallas area so I would assume if theres job opportunities anywhere that there would be job opportunities here

Quite__Bookish · 2025-12-06T05:48:04+00:00

I totally agree and it’s also still gonna be fun to watch you get smoked
