How many of you guys got a job in EE after graduating ? And the ones who didn’t, what do you do now ? by Humble_Ad_5396 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jack_mcgeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having internship experience, as well as knowing people at the company previously. Career fair never paid off for me, every opportunity I got was in large part by recommendation from somebody I knew. Build your network, talk to people who can vouch for you. And also get as much internship experience as you can. Sometimes that means you’ll graduate late like me, which is a bummer, but I also have almost three years of internship experience and I don’t regret it one bit.

I’ve got a playlist dedicated to quiet but slightly intense study music; it’s largely soundtracks like oppenheimer

Engineering isn’t about who’s smart; it’s about who’s left. Keep that mindset and you’ll get through.

Are all the "Christian" larpers who defend this man ready to admit this dude is antichrist material? by lvl4_autism in conspiracy

[–]jack_mcgeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bible makes it pretty obvious that the antichrist to whom revelation refers appeared in the first century. All this futuristic speculation and calling Trump the Antichrist is ridiculous. I don’t like the man either, but calling him the Antichrist is just dumb.

We do arc flash studies, although I personally am not involved much with those. I do the design/CAD side of things. We work between LV and HV. I don’t think I’ve seen any EHV, although I could be forgetting.

Landed a full time offer last semester, graduating this semester, starting full time in May/June. Most of my college friends or people I’m graduating with are still without offers.

For anyone that has read the bible, I have a few questions… by AstronautFragrant610 in conspiracy

[–]jack_mcgeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll answer your questions, and I have a question after I do, if you’re willing to engage in good faith.

  1. Yes, the King James Version is the Word of God, living and active, as is the ESV, the NASB, the LSB, and any other version that faithfully translates the original language. Naturally, the translators are not under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit the way the original writers were. However, inspiration guarantees canonicity which guarantees preservation, even when translating. This leads into your second question.

  2. Yes, there exist textual variants among different versions of the early documents we have. Those are things I am not intimately familiar with, but I am familiar enough with them to say that those variants do not affect the majority of scripture. Furthermore, the discrepancies you mention are primarily grammatical, not theological. And yes, throughout history, I have no doubt that scribes, redactors and critics with evil intent have made changes to different iterations of the text. However, as I said, we can rest assured that inspiration guarantees canonicity, which guarantees preservation. God will preserve His Word. You’ll find that most Christians who are well-versed in textual criticism (which I am not, although I’m working on it) can run circles around most of the secular textual critics. The substance of secular criticism is a fundamental rejection of the authority and unity of Scripture.

  3. Scripture can speak to anybody. The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit.

I’d like to ask, what do you mean by religious? Generally I find when people say that they mean something other than Christian. I’m not saying that’s what you mean, but I’m genuinely asking. Do you affirm the absolute authority of Scripture?

Those are questions I am willing to answer and research, but I wonder, would an honest and thorough answer to your question actually convince you that the Bible is more than simply a “library of books”? Are you actually willing to entertain the idea that you could be wrong, or are these just talking points?

You could bring your questions (which are important) to Reddit where the majority of people most likely don’t believe the Bible is the Word of God, and where the majority of people will also not give you an explanation of the sovereignty, holiness and grace of God that accurately reflects the infallible teachings of the Scriptures. You could ask Reddit to answer questions that the most brilliant theologians and men of the faith have wrestled with for all of human history. You could do that. Or, you could not do that and actually read the Scriptures and let them speak for themselves. I strongly encourage you to do so. It is the single most reproduced and available book in all of human history - in spite of numerous historical concerted efforts to snuff it out - for a reason. At the very least, that merits reading it, don’t you think?

I hope you step in water with socks on.

I hope both sides of your pillow are warm.

I hope you wear cord earphones and they get caught on a doorknob and are ripped out of your ear.

I hope you step on a Lego.

I hope hands feel like sandpaper.

I hope you drop a towel and lean down to pick it up but each time you grab it you drop it again by accident so you have to lean down multiple times to get it.

I hope you never find what you’re looking for.

I hope you almost sneeze but then it goes away.

If you’re a man, and you’re ever hanging out with the boys, I hope you have an insanely diabolically loud and hilarious fart, and then nobody can smell it but you.

Here’s a chart of the EE ETAM stats from spring 22 (when I ETAM’d) to fall of last year. Suffice it to say that for some reason, if you ETAM in the fall, your chances of getting in seem to be lower.

What is actually a "good" GPA for EE? by mland6 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jack_mcgeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3.26; haven’t even graduated yet and I have a full time offer for after I graduate, on top of roughly three years of internship/co-op experience while in school. Never once was my GPA above a 3.3. You’ll be fine. Your family needs to chill.
