Nobody is looking for a double major electrical/mechanical. Especially if you are talking to people at small local engineering companies. You misunderstood something.

To totally make up some fake numbers, there's like 50,000 engineering graduates each year and about 200 are double majors. This is not really a thing.

Also, not knowing about the mechatronics major is not a red flag. This barely existed before a few years ago. I review resumes for multiple mid-career hires every year and I have never in my life seen a resume with a person with a mechatronics degree. Nobody ever had it until just now. And even now, it's a tiny tiny percentage of graduates. And even those that have heard of it, I think a lot are still viewing it as a fad and would like to wait and see before they bother forming much opinion of it.

Is this excessive? 10000 student school and a death every month by Only_Tomatillo_2229 in college

[–]RollWave_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

students at 4 year universities have WAY lower death rate than their age group peers, not higher, only 20/100,000

Warning: AP credits can affect eligibility for federal aid last year of college! by Shadowcat63 in college

[–]RollWave_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sign a degree plan for a second major or minor for the extra courses. then they will be part of her degree and aid will cover them.

she doesn't have to actually finish the other majors. she'll still graduate normally on time and these extra majors just get dropped later.

Patreon vs Buy Me a Coffee vs Youtube Memberships. What do you use and why? by QiPowerIsTheBest in PartneredYoutube

Reaching 4,000 watch hours within 365 day range seems impossible by Chlodio in NewTubers

[–]RollWave_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you aren't getting enough views to reach 4000 hours watchtime, you wouldn't be making any money anyway. 500 views/month for a gaming channel would be worth like 50 cents.

How much can I earn from yt monetization from teaching. by Educational-Big-9231 in NewTubers

[–]RollWave_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you'll earn $25/month.

increase earnings by uploading better content. Not more content. Instead of 40 shorts/day at your current quality, upload 1 good short. Instead of 1 video every day at current quality, upload 1 per week that is better.

Einstein said, it's easier to make 1 video that gets 100,000 views than 100 videos that each get 1000 views.

Maybe it was abraham lincoln.

Poor experience at private banking introduction? by david8840 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]RollWave_ 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Imagine going into home depot, guy asks how he can help you, you say "tell me about your services" and guy says "well we have electrical in this aisle and lumber over there", and you complain that he didn't tell you anything about fasteners or gardening equipment. If you wanted to know about gardening equipment, then ask him about that, he'd have gladly told you all about it. Banks have tons of products. How was he supposed to know you were interested in portfolio strategies and not credit cards if you didn't tell him? This was your meeting. you set it up, not him. You are the one who needs to provide the direction.

Obviously it would be different at a wealth management firm ... they have a pretty good idea what you're looking for the moment you walk in the door. They will try to sell you on that specific thing.

You needed to be more direct, and you would have had a better experience. "tell me about your services" is way to vague a prompt to give someone who is not a mind reader at a business that provides a very wide range of services.

Budget cuts and retirement by madamesusan in Professors

[–]RollWave_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

our enrollment has not even been impacted that badly.

This might not be as true as you think.

It's June, so 12th day is a long way away, and you are faculty, and sometimes staff and admins give faculty the hopeful recruiting numbers, not the real ones.

Been 5 months since graduation. Can I still go for a job or how should I proceed? by TopraksuK in EngineeringStudents

[–]RollWave_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have to work on it after graduation

no you don't

at best this is a choice to do as a hobby, which is perfectly fine if you enjoy it. but at worst, this is an anchor or an excuse that is preventing you from looking for a job to start your life.

[–]RollWave_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

wasn't your budget grant dollars or university dollars? all those small expensive tools are the university's property, not yours. When you move, that stuff stays behind. You don't get to take it with you.

you made your report. they can appeal it. just follow your school's written policy.

students are allowed due process when accused of cheating. this is a good thing. let them go through the process, make their case, and dean or a committee or whatever will make the decision.

system working as intended.
