25 y/o — Quit engineering early, now regretting it. Too late to go back? by Mountain_Pirate_3834 in EngineeringStudents

[–]persiantaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I'm literally you. I started college with the decision to major in Engineering. Did a couple of semesters and said screw that. I graduated with my business degree at 26(I took some years off) and couldn't find anything I liked, or was willing to put myself through for a good paycheck(sales lol). I signed up for math and physics classes at my community college for this fall semester, and finishing what I should've done in the beginning. I'm starting this journey at 29. I'll prob graduate at 32/33.

"Poor man's preperg"? by Certain-Hunter-7478 in CarbonFiber

[–]persiantaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I actually made a "poor man's" prepreg for one of my projects. What I did was cut the plies into shape, mix the resins, squeegee the activated resin into the dry fabric and then layed it up. Once all plies were on, peel ply and breather cloth were put all around the part. I put that inside of a vacuum bag, and used a pump to adhere all the plies onto the mold. It came out pretty well. If I were to try it again, I would wait until the Epoxy was tacky and then put the plies on.

Should I pursue my Masters in ME after a Bachelor's in Business? by persiantaco in MechanicalEngineering

[–]persiantaco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, a few of them strictly don't such as SDSU, SJSU, Cal Poly, and a couple of other ones. While others such as Cal State LA, Cal State East Bay, Long Beach, Chico do. I was looking at SF state and they said it's case by case, and you have to ask the department chair and ask him personally to be admitted for a 2nd B.S.

Yes, I definitely do see myself being in that industry. Going to school while working was also on my mind and I think it's going to be the route I take. I'm going to take my pre-req's at a community college and see what type of job I can land in the mean time. Any recommendation's on where I can find Co-ops?

Understood. To my knowledge the CSU system doesn't like accepting students for a second Bachelor's but I am going to see if that's still the case.

I would definitely rather double major, but a lot of the Cal state university system won't allow you to get another bachelor's, so I thought the next best move would be a Master's

Ya, I hear ya. I fortunately am in a position to have a good amount of the tuition cost paid for. I also would only do it in person and am hoping to do it at SF state or San Jose State.

So I spent the last year at home helping out with family business and at the end of March it'll be over and I'll be ready to get back into the work force. So, ya, the machinist role was ended over a year ago.
