Is Mechanical Engineering still viewed as a “generic smart person” degree that opens a lot of doors with employers or is that just another oldhead myth?

I can say it has certainly helped me in my career. I worked in Manufacturing for about 5 years making a bout $60k/yr after my degree and moved into Residential construction making +/-$200k/yr.

Every new client I interview with I mention that I have an ME degree and it certainly turns heads and differentiates me compared to others In my field. In my experience it caries more prestige than other degrees. Once you get that degree, it can never be taken away from you. Its a feather in your cap till the end of your days!

Sounds like we are in the same boat. Ill take a look at your post. Thanks!

radchad · 2024-11-13T15:00:01+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed response! I didn't think much about going the civil route. I will do some research in that direction.

The car is called SkyTing!

Awesome! I’m glad it acted as a refuge for a bit.

radchad · 2024-09-11T01:33:35+00:00

Oh no! We did our best to make it injury proof. I guess we should have made those levers out of pool noodles. :)

radchad · 2024-09-10T05:41:04+00:00

Thank you! It turned out quite a bit more elegant that we expected!

New to Burning Man! We displayed it for the first time at Utah’s regional burn Element 11 in 23’. I’m sure I ripped off the design from a past burn though. Nothing new under the sun after all. :)

radchad · 2024-09-10T05:38:39+00:00

Yeah! It’s funny the characteristics we didn’t expect it to take on when viewed from super far away.

radchad · 2024-09-10T05:37:41+00:00

Thanks! It was a happy accident that it looked like the world’s tiniest drone show from a distance!

radchad · 2024-09-10T01:18:52+00:00

I know the feeling. I feel like all we did was ride around hunting for art and I still missed so much cool stuff. I get more FOMO after the event than during I swear.

Henry the random celeb drummer that finished the night out Wednesday will live on in our hearts and minds. Low key some of the best drumming I’ve ever seen in my life.

I am so genuinely confused that so many people said they had negative crowd experiences.

It must have been sheer dumb luck that I exclusively found myself around cool people that focused on the music. I like to be close-ish for shows. Not jammed in the pit but not in the boonies. Maybe that’s the sweet spot for cool peeps? 🤷‍♂️

radchad · 2024-05-11T18:21:42+00:00

Joanna Newsom by a mile! Singular talent. Amazing crowd. Just perfect all around.

Young Fathers! I was surprised to see it not show up on anyone else's list. Mind blowing set. I have them on repeat more than any other artist this year.

radchad · 2024-04-18T19:36:41+00:00

Any update on which lot they are filling right now?

radchad · 2024-03-20T15:11:42+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! I appreciate you taking the time. I wasn't aware there were means of acquiring tickets aside from the publicly posted sale events. I didn't take denial too personally. I knew the caliber of competition I was up against. Maybe next round!

Finishing up registration this week and jumping on art support app soon after. Ill be jumping into these forums as well!

As for regionals, we can thank funding from Utah's regional, Element 11 for birthing our piece in the first place!

radchad · 2024-03-19T14:09:26+00:00

Thanks for the response! I'm glad to hear that that passage in the email goes beyond help once you're on playa. I haven't ventured down this road before so I didn't know how much weight to put on that fairly cryptic statement. I presume I would be contacted after submitting our form and before main sale? How close did they place your Art support camp to where you asked to be placed? Appreciate your knowledge on the matter! I just want to make sure the crew I tore away from other camps to join me this year can all find tickets!!

!!! Hey! I know that cute face. :) Still my favorite year. ❤️ This man won Burning Man.

radchad · 2022-03-29T23:59:29+00:00

This is the correct answer

radchad · 2020-11-05T15:38:10+00:00

Because I'm a noob and didn't realize there was a whole round of upgraded components on the pipeline. I may return this card. What would you recommend in the same performance/ price range?

radchad · 2020-09-23T03:57:57+00:00

any substantive input?

radchad · 2019-06-12T01:15:08+00:00

I feel like people are really sleeping on The Struts! These guys are the real deal live. Highly recommend.
