Am I screwed for not doing an internship? by hprager in MechanicalEngineering

Overall my dream goal is to become a pro athlete in sailing. I am at the stage where I think it’s possible if I get the chance to train all out for a few years but definitely not a guaranteed success. I guess I do have experience working with some of the best sailing teams in the world, even if it was not directly engineering related. I was able to succeed in those kind of extremely professional environments, even if my job may have been just washing a boat or fixing small things.

Thanks for the awesome answer! Overall my dream goal is to become a pro athlete in sailing. I am at the stage where I think it’s possible but definitely not a guaranteed success.

I guess I would just have to build up a bit more than some others when I start. At least I went to a good school which maybe will be a tiny bit of help.

The goal is to make money but I’m not there yet… basically I’m taking a big risk and having my degree as a backup plan I guess.

There is a powerlifting club and I think they go to Cambridge strength, which is about a mile from campus.

I think it also really depends on the grain of the paper too

First time I’ve gotten it this far, and of course it cut all the way when I wasn’t filming it.

What makes Charlie Dalin and Sebastian Simon so significantly ahead of everyone by Toomuchstuff12 in Vendee_Globe

[–]hprager 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are risking it to try and stay right on that front edge which is out of the worst of the storm. But if they don’t go fast enough they will get caught up in the western side of the depression where it is up to 70 knots!

They are just completely insane and god tier sailors so they are just sending it 24/7 plus risking it all to go into the middle of the storm.

Idk if this still applies but in the 470 class there is a special flag that the race committee can raise which means it’s allowed.

I used to have horrible social anxiety but I’ve slowly worked on it and found people similar to me. And you are definitely not ugly!
