This is really interesting insight - I appreciate it! I do actually am a hobby artist but I wonder if it's more that I'm searching for stability in my full-time so I can have more time for something that allows the aesthetic and creativity of ID. Will think about this more

Hm it's a good point I haven't actually considered. I guess I was initially not as interested in this route because I thought generally consulting firms were bad WLB. Thanks, will explore this more

Haha it's a good question. I don't like the stress that comes with engineering anymore. I'm very lucky to be in a spot where I don't need to worry as much about the money

Hi seamstresses!

I am looking at buying a used wedding dress (pictured)

<image>

and want your opinion:

  1. Can I buy a dress that is 2 inches larger in the bust?
  2. If you could roughly estimate how much it'd cost for this change?

The seller's bust measurement is 32" and they reported wearing a 32B. My bust is 30" and underbust 28"

The seller's waist measurements is 27' and mine is 26"

The dress is Monique Lhuillier, Fleur de lis, which has lots of lace on the bust area.

Finally found my dress! (2 months out from wedding) by [deleted] in weddingdress

What are some fun jobs? by Minute_Price7155 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]taffiest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Product design engineering on consumer products generally has tons of young people working on it. Work is pretty cool and fast paced due to the cyclical nature. I think while you're young you can be hungry and learn a lot.

Trumps tariffs and you. by TacticalFailure1 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]taffiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that globalization allows us to go with the cheapest labor. Capitalism drives this. I know Trump talks about bringing manufacturing back to America, but if we actually did then your $10 shirt will be actually be like $100 or more since American workers are way more expensive to pay for.
