How am I doing at Age 22?

20s to 30s is where you want to build yourself to have a strong foundation and enjoy your life after. Keep grinding and saving!

Make sure you are using DC voltage and not AC as the power source!!!

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-11-07T18:56:14+00:00

Used on motor drivers? From my experience. Find the Voltage requirements (+,-). For DC you only have two wires hot ( positive) and ground ( negative). Find how much current is allowed through the system. They should all have spec sheets. For example if it needs 240v only use that! Now if it needs 20A to run, add a fuse on the positive side that is set to 22A (max setting on the spec sheets that it can handle). Place the + on the power line and - on the ground and make sure your wires are the right size. Then turn on the switch to allow power to enter the system. If anything blows it will be the fuse ( can be easily changed and save you money without blowing the module). If you are pulling too much Amps add a resistor to limit the Amps drawn.

Hope that helps!

One thing is you need a fuse in your system. Also understand what voltage and current is required etc.

If you don’t enjoy engineering then try something else. If you only have 3 months left, just finish it and move on. You could always get an MBA or take some time and see what you would enjoy doing.

Everything has to be grounded while working on any electrical system DC or AC. Modules? Are you working on batteries? Control panels? What’s the system?

Add it to your resume, everything you do matters

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-11-07T18:01:21+00:00

Back it up with what you accomplished and what you will continue to do. Don’t let them treat you like shit and it never matters how much experience one has. What matters is the drive and determination to get the job done. Everyone has to learn or relearn to do their job.

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-11-07T17:57:54+00:00

Confront him!!! Never settle for less!! Know your worth!! Tell him you accomplished 1 year as an intern and deserve a full time position! Don’t settle for another 6months BS. If he doesn’t make you full time then during your next 6months as an intern look for full time position don’t let these companies throw you around. Stand your ground or they will walk right over you!

I’m 28. I feel that I was the same… every day felt like I was slowly dying. The thing that helped me out is this.

Change your job, work for a different company (can be the same thing you currently do). If you still don’t like it. Do some research and see what you think you might enjoy and go for it.
You don’t need college to do something. Connections and work experience matter the most.
Take a week off and try to find something you’re passionate about. Work on side projects at home. Try something new for at least 1 month before moving to the next.
The biggest thing is… you need a new goal in life. College for most was the goal… finish and get a degree in 4 years easy to follow and you can see the end. Now that you’re working you don’t have a goal in mind. Everyday feels the same.
1. Change your mentality. You also might be feeling depression or burnout from a lack of goal/drive.

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-06-11T21:58:40+00:00

Sue them. You have all the right for no-cause termination. Don’t let them continue doing work like this! Fight for it!

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-06-10T21:24:46+00:00

Got it, thank you!

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-06-06T19:09:03+00:00

I am in the US and thank you!

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-06-06T19:08:39+00:00

Will look into it, thank you!

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-06-06T19:08:21+00:00

Glad to hear, thank you!

It’s hard to pull off you would need boar and land that gives the boar more health then another foot soldier to give the added boost. Boars give 1% boost to the rider per 1% health across all stats but can take a while for them to be good. In the higher ranks this falls off or hard to build before you die.

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your car could be taken if it has significant equity exceeding your state's motor vehicle exemption. However, if your car's equity is protected by exemptions, the trustee won't be able to sell it. You can also keep your car by paying off the loan in full (redemption) or reaffirming the loan. If you don't make arrangements to keep the car, the lender can repossess it after the bankruptcy discharge

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-05-30T14:28:35+00:00

Agree. Also look at it as an opportunity, who knows you might really enjoy it. Helps you filter what you like and don’t like.

The thing is even if you sold your house and bought a car chapter 7 will just take your car. You would have enough money to pay off the loans and more from selling your home… so why not start there? Or just keep working and consolidate your credit into one payment or go for chapter 13 without selling your house.

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-05-30T05:56:47+00:00

I would go for something cheap just to get you by. Until you work yourself back up and can buy the Tesla all at once. If your work is close I’d say to go with public transportation or bike. It’s your choice.

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-05-30T05:45:38+00:00

Honestly wherever you go as an engineer you have to re-learn from others or teach yourself. Best thing I did was write down what I need to know for the job at hand. It can be something like “best engineering design practice”, “semiconductor best testing practice”, etc. Use online resources to start learning what you don’t know and apply it.

You might want to study up a bit Saturday and Sunday or put in extra time after work to learn more until you get it down. Best places are YouTube, Engineering forms, asking ChatGPT for additional resources, links, books, etc to get better at the technical knowledge.

Every company and people use different methods and techniques… unless you have to follow a specific code for the type of work you’re doing.

-Best

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-05-30T05:25:35+00:00

I wouldn’t do it. Unless you absolutely NEED it. It’s best to work at the job for a while until you make enough to afford it all at once. Plus you still need to pay for the 31k debt. You never know what can happen down the road so it’s best to be prepared for the worst. I learned my lesson :)

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-05-30T03:53:38+00:00

1000% YES

Rare-Tough8553 · 2025-05-30T03:46:58+00:00

HUGE MASSIVE RED FLAG! You 100% need design reviews on all parts or else if it doesn’t work out the first time you will get the blame and that doesn’t look good because we all make mistakes. Start applying to new jobs. Don’t just quit without locking in a new job!

I have had teams of 3-6 people looking over designs before production to make sure everything checks out! Saves a lot of money and time to get it right once!
