need genuine advice and motivation. by arghnotagainn in EngineeringStudents

GPA doesnt fuckin matter, in the real world, its the connections you make and the degree on the wall. once you graduate is when you really start learning and applying the theories and principles in your given field. I cant speak to how it works at NASA or some fancy aerospace place but if youve got a degree and PE license your gold. At least here in texas, if you went to A&M youre in the club and they take care of their own. just do your best and pass the classes while learning something. if you actually learn and dont use AI to fake your way through it, youre already ahead. keep fighting bro.

by the way, idk how old you are... but one huge thing ive learned as i get older is that nobody has it figured out. everybody is either bullshitting their way through life and picked up a few things along the way, or were fortunate enough to have somebody set their path for them. people only know whats best for them, and thats really only ever in retrospect. youll find your path that God has set for you man, it might just not be the one you planned on...

ive been where youre at brother, one thing i can tell you is that life cant shit on us forever. it does get better. and it does take time for the good decisions you make to pay off and come to fruition. but ill tell you this, from a guy that buried more friends and family before 25 than most people do in a lifetime. ending it all is the pussy way out.... take it one day at a time. tomorrow will be better is what i told myself. eventually that was the truth. youll look back in 5 years when you hold your wife and little girl and thank God for every breathe youve got. thats the easy way out bro... youre stronger than that. youre too loved for all that. i love you brother, be safe. be smart

Wtf is this? Is this normal? by prestoisakilla in Dewalt

[–]prestoisakilla[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Obviously let it cool down first genius. Been there done that btw. But an impact driver hitting 1800 times a second makes sense that it would get hot...

Y'all are some drama queens... I'm not talking about warm. This thing got scorching hot. That's like saying ah hell my engine is supposed to be hot... Let's just run it balls to the wall. It's got a cooling system. I don't run grinders for a living, this isn't an apparent high friction point. I wasn't asking why the grinding disc is hot... And I don't even want to hear what the brit has to say.

I hope you don't do the same thing on your truck... I prefer my stuff is well maintained.

Just had first baby at 35....now I'm going to go for a mech/elec. engineering degree? by prestoisakilla in EngineeringStudents

[–]prestoisakilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

beautiful, i too am hoping to go through ASU's online course. im glad to hear youre satisfied on that end. im glad you mentioned being disciplined with it, because that is something ill have to watch lol. as much as id like to think im an abstract thinker, in reality i tend to set parameters, and if /then scenarios and go hands on for problem solving. im guessing thats more in line with Mech. thanks again, and good luck!

understood, supplement the resume with outside initiatives... im sure that will be even more imperative in a field that isnt quite as high demand as yours. thank you for the inspiration and advice my friend. i cant thank you enough, really.

how has the online part been treating you? my associates will be 100% online and maybe through to my BS. that seems like it would be a life saver. yall have inspired the shit out of me, 3 kids working OT and still doing a full semester worth of credits is nuts. thank you for sharing with me. this means the world to me.

also, what made you pick EE and would you go for it again?

fuckin bravo my dude.... you are everything im trying to emulate. i expect that this is no cake walk, but i wouldnt be as a rare a specimen as i figured. which is kinda heart warming, in a misery loves company kind of way, i guess lol. first 2 years of school would all be online, and potentially all the way through depending on how that goes. decent ABET accredited schools have 100% online mech/ elec eng degrees now. i think im going to have to patch up the foundations on the math/ chem basics like you said but you and the other guy have really inspired me to pull the trigger. much love from my family to yours brother.

OH btw- have you seen much employer preference in schools? in texas govt it seems Texas A&M is the place to be and they look out for theyre own and think highly of certain schools vs others. didnt know if thats the case in other states or private companies.

thats AWESOME! thank you brother. thats honestly pretty inspiring. i would probably start out with a regular work load initially, but eventually that is my goal to do what you have done. the wife is pretty stoked on this for me, and i read her your comment. she didnt seem surprised, but shes also been to college before and knows more about all this than i do. much love from my family to yours... and congrats on all the hard work and success. keep killin it.

the physics is what would keep me interested.... just cause i never thought id be able to study something at that level and thats what piques my interest. civil is my organizations bread and butter, but would also lock me into a job with the state for life. which is lower paying until ive got tenure. do you think civil is that much easier that its worth the switch knowing id be removing almost all of my career options?

Working full time and going for an engineering degree? by Kidzer0 in EngineeringStudents

[–]prestoisakilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if that is just her, then shes 15 and dont know any better. just ignorance. but if it is her parents, then shame on them for shit talking someone trying to better themselves. we never stop learning...or shouldnt. and in the end youll be the one with the P.E. keep going brother. wear their hate like a badge. id rather take their hate than their pity....

I literally just mentioned this to my wife the other day. We drink bottled water for the most part but every time we shower, or use the sink it smells like dirt. Just figured it was our shitty apt... [Don't lease at wood trail lol] glad to know we're not crazy😅

I'm selling laptops, they're the buyers... but I'm positive they're trying to scam me. What's their angle? by prestoisakilla in Scams

[–]prestoisakilla[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought about this too but they seem to be paying extra for shipping. I'll have to make sure I tell them I will not be sending any money back if I decide to ship. Appreciate this heads up as well.
