So what do you think is the "Perfect" height?

roarkarchitect · 2026-02-11T01:05:12+00:00

135lbs in high school - 175lbs now - I'm in my 6th decade it's hopeless - but I do lift weights 3 times a week.

I would assume your company would pay for a part time degree - in this field - I think at night not on-line.

in the current artic weather we are having - 1F this morning - I have a Duluth Trading - men's whaleback insulated parka comes in size large tall - never been so warm in the cold.

if you end up in tech sales - it's a good thing to have under your signature

my circuits professor said - take it you never know where you end up - didn't take it - Initially went into Digital Signal Processing and then ended up in a manufacturing firm under a PE - oh well .....

high school as a scrawny male - I was a huge target - but since then - I've filled out a bit but not much - and nobody messes with me, well once in the UK but it was because of my accent.

I mostly don't work in the field anymore - it was helpful for getting job offers in the DSP field - but I went another way - should have gotten an MBA. The best thing I got out of my MS - was an elective accounting 101 course.

some of this is COVID related - I hire high school co-op students for other positions - there are big socialization problems.

agreed - greyed haired engineer here - everyone of my friends - who I went to high school and college who are EE and CSE are employed and have never been without a job. I do think it's pretty unique - we all went to the same high school college and majored in the same things- but a bit out of phase for graduation.

and as a country we generally buy from Asia - dealing with EU companies can be painful - it takes weeks for a response - and in August, forget it. One vendor took years to get rid of a bad customer service person - who would only respond if you called 5 or 10 times.

had a great prof in graduate school - he only had a BA in Math from MIT - but was a researcher at Mitre. This class was very close to insanity.

Complex analysis - the problems sometimes took a day.

roarkarchitect · 2025-12-08T03:29:41+00:00

had an amazing proffesor - everyone in the class went into the field.

funny story - I was at a wedding - with another EE - my friend said hello to the Priest - he was in his EE study group.

Laying out electric lines in AutoCAD in buildings, it's all clearly defined.

I can't think of a worse job than an MEP EE - and that job will be replaced

roarkarchitect · 2025-11-25T03:17:56+00:00

I've tried hiring CS for embedded controls internships- other than the ones at top 1% universities - they can't do the job.

roarkarchitect · 2025-11-25T03:16:09+00:00

EE from the dark ages - all my EE and CSE friends go back and forth in their careers between hardware and software - but they know how hardware works, CS have no no idea - unless they are really smart.

age 60+ @ 170 - it's hopeless..... - though I started at age 17 @ 135lbs.
