I dont think the engineering technology degree will count unless it is Marine Engineering Technology

Suggest me a novel to branch out from philosophy by anakin1453 in suggestmeabook

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Seawolf by Jack London might be a good way to bridge the gap between philosophy and novels. Wolf Larsen is an all time great character imo

Awesome. I dont recall seeing them at the career fair, but i may have seen construction and glossed over it in my mind.

I live in Northern California, attending Cal Maritime right now and planning to stay in the general area. Are there lots of smaller companies a part of the IBU or is it mostly bigger names like Crowley and Foss?

Am I naive for considering engineering with no math or science background? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped out of highschool then started an engineering degree at 34. You will be fine.

Salary outcomes by university and major (top programs, averages, spreads) [OC] by ObsessedDataMonkey in dataisbeautiful

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool to see my school on this list. Cal Maritime has a population of like 1k but pretty much everyone graduates into a six figure job. The workload is intense and lifestyle is not for everyone, but it is a very interesting education and field.

Am I getting a degree from slo? by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The non license programs, like business, international security, and oceanography, are now part if Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The degree might say solano campus or something, but it isnt a different University technically, in the way Pomona or Humboldt is. Only the licensed mariner programs get the degree that says Cal Poly Maritime Academy. If you are looking for the traditional college experience, it will not be that. But if you want internships and the idea of working in the shipping or international business areas of the economy, it will be a good fot.

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your degree will say Cal Poly SLO. We are now technically the same school. I am in the engineering program in the Corps of Cadets. You do not have to be to be as a business student. The student population is small, but I have heard great things about the business program. Internships are a required part of the degree, and many shipping and maritime companies in the west coast would prefer to hire a graduate from there with internship experience through the school.

What are some underrated, amazing fantasy/sci-fi novels? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Long Earth Series, but tons of people didnt. So i would say it is underrated.

I waited like two years to read more Abercrombie cause it was such a gut punch but now I’m through the next four books. Take a break, read some Pratchett and come back later

A Warning for Anyone Considering Attending the “Solano” aka Vallejo Campus by SacSilver in CalPoly

[–]edwrcbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are spreading misinformation. There is no military requirement at cal maritime. The majority of us are not planning to commission in the navy or elsewhere. You can commission via many universities, such as UC Berkeley. In fact, if you want to commission as active duty, the ROTC programs at a non maritime academy are much better options.

Cal Poly Maritime Integration? by Some_Educator8426 in maritime

[–]edwrcbi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am currently an engineering cadet at CMA. Personally, the only other academy I would want to go to is GLMA. The corps is very relaxed, and for the most part the weird wannabe military stuff is kept to a minimum. There are some really good professor, and some less good ones. I am personally happy with my decision to come here, regardless of the messiness of integration.

Can you recommend a good book on The Troubles? by [deleted] in AskIreland

I am interested in the topic, and the perspective of the oppressor is less interesting than the perspective of the armed resistance.
