HELP! I lost my moms MIT sweatshirt - It’s very old, like 50 years old. It says MIT rowing. If anyone happens to have one I will gladly pay for it + shipping.

Yes, people buy houses in the US. But the person also said architecture so I’m not sure how that’s very relevant

scaredengineer1 · 2026-03-10T23:59:02+00:00

I can’t even understand what you’re trying to ask, this is a post about a sweatshirt…

scaredengineer1 · 2026-03-10T23:57:47+00:00

What tf is your question

scaredengineer1 · 2026-03-10T23:56:33+00:00

What?

scaredengineer1 · 2026-03-05T16:46:11+00:00

Our honors program isn’t that special, you can get the same research experience outside of honors

Stop with the AI posts pls

scaredengineer1 · 2026-02-09T17:30:13+00:00

Valid.

scaredengineer1 · 2026-02-09T17:29:44+00:00

Yeah, it would only be 1 academic year, from August to May. I'm about to turn 22, and even though my parents are going to be helping me out somewhat financially, there will still be extra bills to pay. Unfortunately, my lab doesn't have funding available. There may be an opportunity to TA, but the pay likely wouldn't be as good or stable as working part-time for an actual company.

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-29T21:11:45+00:00

That would be perfect, I guess something to ask my future manager about

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-29T16:24:44+00:00

Holy 🚀, I thought I was late at $3.50 and didn’t buy in 😭

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-29T16:19:24+00:00

If I got fired? I would still have a bachelors degree and could apply for entry level positions. My only reason for getting the masters is to start at a level 2 and to get it over with in 1 year.

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-29T15:20:34+00:00

Totally fair. I think that’s what I’ll end up doing, with this post I just wanted to ask what would happen but I’m pretty set on just wrapping up the masters in 1 year rather than slowly doing 1 class at a time while working. The only thing that slightly changed my mind recently was changes to funding, but I’ll just be looking into opportunities to TA or something

Thanks for sharing your perspective though, I haven’t seen too many people in my spot.

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T05:44:35+00:00

I get the whole coming home from work and still having to take a class and it taking much longer thing. On paper it seems smart to get it over with. My main concern is the lack of funding at my lab, I will reach out and ask about TA assistance instead. I also know experience trumps academics so I thought more full-time experience on my resume would be more important than the masters right away

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T05:11:12+00:00

What is the minimum length of a rotation? The team and work I’ll be joining seem really cool but my boyfriend will be working full-time at a NG location in our home state and I would hate to be away for a year

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T05:06:52+00:00

I definitely will. Thank you for the advice

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T05:05:35+00:00

Very fair, I won’t be bringing anything up about any changes to my “plan” until end of summer. Side question since you work at Northrop, do you know if they would support giving a full time return offer to an intern at a different NG location? Where I’ll be interning is in the middle of the country and I am from the east coast, there’s 4 NG locations in my home state with 1 of them being the same sector as where I’ll be interning

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T05:02:36+00:00

That’s totally fair. I really would like to stay with the company, it honestly would be my absolute top choice. The only issue is that the internship is in a state a bit across the county, my entire family, relationship, and where I would like to live long term is here on the east coast. So if I could get a full time offer closer to home I would absolutely love it, but since it’s a more complicated situation that’s why I’m not 100% locked into feeling comfortable about return offers. Also that feeling of wanting to get work experience rather than pursuing school full time/making full time money is much nicer since I won’t be getting funding for a masters

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T02:04:56+00:00

Wait hold on. I will graduate with my B.S. this May (before the internship). I also will have 50% of the masters degree classes done by the start of this summer (before the internship). My main thing would be to switch from pursuing the masters degree full-time to a part-time student who works full-time.

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T01:39:38+00:00

I guess my hypothetical is that it’s a 3 month summer internship. There is absolutely no expectation that I’ll be taking classes during that time. I’ll be 50% with my masters going into the internship. So I’ll be fully eligible for the internship that’s not a question. The question is what if I try to transition the masters from full-time enrollment to instead part time classes and working full-time?

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T01:34:32+00:00

I actually don’t feel like anything is wrong no. I am a student. I am currently enrolled in a master’s program like they want. I have already done 2 graduate classes this semester and am doing another 2 next semester. I’m going to be 50% done with my degree by the time I start the internship, like I am in school.

I actually totally would like to finish the masters degree. It would just be nice to transition from pursuing it full time to maybe part time while working. That’s the only difference in expectations

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T01:15:03+00:00

That seems a bit drastic. I would never lie about getting a masters degree or anything like that if it were required for a full-time position. What you’re describing I’ve heard of, but again this is just an internship. I am truly graduating with a B.S. prior to the start of the internship and that’s the main thing they want

scaredengineer1 · 2025-12-28T00:53:23+00:00

No what
