How's dem career prospects?

How's dem career prospects?

RE: How's dem career prospects?

With that 1000 symbol library you could make anything look impressive (or so the blurb seems to indicate).  Ah well, we knew we were becomming commodity items anyway.

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Just add .....water?

RE: How's dem career prospects?

No, just add BS....

Batteries not included....

We have to change one of your requirements.  The site Rich2001 referenced us to allows 18 year olds to qualify for degrees.  The last thing we want to do here is discriminate because of age!!!!!!!!

Are people really that out of touch with what we do?


YIKES.........

RE: How's dem career prospects?

The H.R. people don't know the difference, that's for sure. Where DO their degrees come from?

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Just add alcohol!

That makes me think of using that really special fancy gold-plated wrapping paper to wrap a nice warm steaming box of poo, or instant doctor on a box of band-aids.

RE: How's dem career prospects?

"I use my Degree ( a Doctorate) as a dating ploy. I had good quality calling cards professionally printed and I always present them on being introduced to anyone. Often, I simply introduce myself to a lady I find attractive and offer the card saying that I would like to meet her for dinner at some future date, if she is amenable. More often than not, I receive a call."
Mark Trenton Ph.D.

That pretty much says it ALL.

RE: How's dem career prospects?

I have a vision of Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced Fraawnkensteen) standing over his creation...a potential engineer laying on a stainless steel table, lightning flashing overhead above his laboratory and Egor (pronounced eye-gore) briskly runnning around spinning dials and looking worried.

The engineer-to-be (ETB?) is twitching slightly and the good doctor screams, "LIVE, LIVE, CALCULATE!!!" while pounding on his chest.  The pounding dislodges the calculator strapped to the ETB's waist.  It falls to the floor and shatters.  Dr. Frankenstein drops his head on the ETB's chest and weeps.

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Can anyone explain "Double-Precision Accuracy"?  I think I need this.

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943.
Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

RE: How's dem career prospects?

You know, thats where you carry TWICE as many significant figures as your DATA had!

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Why would one need to buy the fake degree as a dating ploy?  Why not just skip right ahead to the fake business cards?

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Well a guy has to have SOME ethics!

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Sarcastic lot aren't we!

RE: How's dem career prospects?

Why d'ye think Dilbert's an engineer? ^___~
