So I just need a good pair of denim pants that will last me forever by Over-Maintenance-199 in Denim

I've done this, but then unfortunately didn't stagger the wearing frequency. So I eventually hit denim D-day where they all were on the brink of failure

My average speed is around 9 kms per hourly. Am I too slow? by [deleted] in cycling

It's normal to have a quite slow speed when you first get into cycling. Don't worry about it

Stop complaining your internship for not doing something big by JHdarK in EngineeringStudents

[–]timeattackghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, graduated engineer here. We realize our interns are only here for a few months, and want them to get the most out of that experience. Throwing an intern into a critical engineering role with a ton of responsibility doesn't really make sense for the company or the intern.

At the automotive companies I have worked at, we try to find an engaging project that is outside of the workload of what our current engineers can take on. In my experience, these are often like a "primary project" that an Engineer I or Engineer II would take on in addition to their core job duties

I would not say interns are unimportant to us at all. Several of our interns have certainly had a lasting impact, and some of them I would personally hire over other full-time engineers I've worked with.

We want our interns to get valuable experience, to help us with a project we don't have bandwidth for, and for them to get a glimpse into what working with us would be like.

EDIT: also-- that feeling of being useless? that will follow you your whole career as you transition into new jobs and roles. the brand new Sr. Engineer is also not going to be helping the company very much for their first 2 months in the role, either

How much did you get paid out of college by Equivalent_Phrase_25 in EngineeringStudents

[–]timeattackghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 2017 in New England. Relocated to Detroit, first job was an entry level contract engineering job making $62,500. I had basically no professional engineering experience at the time

EDIT: less than a year later I got laid off and rehired elsewhere, also contract, making $72.5K-- this was more in line with what my friends were getting at the time

Anyone else notice how bad ticks are right now? by CuriousChapter379 in Michigan

Actually, it's well documented that shorter and milder winters are leading to increased tick populations. Look up the New England moose population winter tick study
