Just asked my mechanical engineer father if he uses calculus at work. His response; "Yeah. Just not very high forms of it."

 

I'm a certified engineer in several states, and have a couple graduate engineering degrees. I am quite pleased with how my own career has been working out.

To the point at hand, I still maintain that high-end work can't rely on pre-written tools. You can't avoid using calculus, and stuff way beyond, in high-end engineering.

 

Well were both happy then.

 

Not until I get this turbo bolted on!

 

You don't get paid what you're worth, you get paid what you negotiate. A friend of mine w/ no degree told me this and I've found it to be true. He's also specialized his carrier to the point where only a few in the country have his skills, so he does have something to negotiate with. He never uses calc, BTW.

 

100k isn't much money. Hell I make that and I'm broke as ****.

 

Yeah but thats three years out, within 5 years over 200k and plateau around 350k. At least thats what was promised.

If thats not the case then I go to law school. 180K first year with 15K bonus, till eventually I **** currency.

Plus its not the education, that just proves you can work hard. Its the ideas that matter. I dont care how many degrees or from what school if you cant think then its wasted on you.

 

promises promises, you've spent too much time in school

 

Matriculated in matriculation:gay:

 

Haha I know, but it does end of being a lie Ill just move on.

 

well I wouldn't be so broke if sallie mae wasn't taking like 1200 a month for all that schooling I guess.

 

Damn leeches, thats why Im holding on to mine, shes pulling in more than i am

 

Switching gears for a little bit, are any of you CPE's? I am working on a project designing a 4bit processor and I have it in logicworks 5. I have leds wired up to the inputs and outputs but they don't seem to be displaying properly. Could any of you take a look at it and see wtf is up? I have it wired up what I believe to be 100% correct. I can send you a list of micro ops with it.

EDIT: nvm, I got it working.
