Where I'm confused is how does one get charged with such a crime, if it is consensual (as pat said above). Maybe some situation where you are in a public park when it's closed, in a car, and the cops come knocking on the window & ask you to show IDs? I can't think of too many situations where...
Just a little rant. . .
August 2009
MM: Hey, you ought to look into those new state energy laws that are about to take effect and think about expanding [Successful Existing Contracting Business] to include XYZ.
Spouse: Yeah, I'm pretty busy, and I don't know anything about that s**t.
Jan...
ifin,
A couple more comments. . .
You said you have a feeling that the industry may prefer premeds --> MHA. I'm not so sure. Premeds going into MHA are probably a lot of kids who either didn't get into med school or just decided they didn't want to do that and can't find jobs with just their...
While I was writing my post, some more of the MBA-bashing comments were deleted, and now mine makes even less sense. . .
Sorry about that. Refer to TheTick and Snorgy's first comment. That's what I'm replying to.
Hey, be nice to the MBA people. . .
I don't think most engineering MBA wannabes are money-grubbing ladder-climbers. The ones that are quit engineering completely and go to Harvard full-time. I think most are poor innocent souls who are in jobs they hate and don't know how to get out AND keep...
I thought the MHA did sort of make sense with your background. A dual MHA/MIS wouldn't be ridiculous. It seems a lot of the solutions needed in the healthcare system will involve the information systems, and if you really want to make a statement that you're interested in *healthcare* rather...
If I ever found out that a candidate I was interviewing had to ask a public forum how to sign an email or how to format his name on his resume, he would go in the round file immediately. Seriously? Should you use your whole name or not? The university system has failed you miserably if you...
Seconding debondine's post. . .Our job title structure is very similar.
At a former employer in the Power EPC industry, Project Engineer was used as a title for the top-ranking technical engineer on a project. We are not exempt, so this person was always a PE and the one to stamp the drawings...
I agree with most of what was already said. Keep your business your business and study on your own time (vacation, personal days, nights/weekends). You probably don't have vacation days yet, but that's not your boss's problem.
Also. . .
Your plan doesn't sound realistic to me.** I know from...
So, if you're doing engineering work in a non-exempt industry and are not a PE, what the heck are you supposed to call yourself? Engineering Practitioner? Engineering Analyst?
I typically list major projects I work on separately, but usually by description, not project name. I've reviewed resumes from others who list the actual project.
Either of these is fine, IMHO.
-mechanical engineer(did blah, blah, blah) for 2x1 combined cycle project in CA.
-mechanical...
I might think if your *clients* have little or no college education, they might think you have a little holier-than-thou syndrome if you must make a point that you have a degree. I would just put my name and "mechanical engineer" under it, if you must. If non-degreed people at your company are...
In general, I'd say go for the BSME then MSME if that's what you want. Skipping the BS could affect your ability to be licensed later. Also, with the prereqs you have to take in engr (statics, materials, mech mat,dynamics), it looks like the prereqs+MSE courses will take about the same time as a...
A few comments -
-Seems unfair, but are you going to risk your job over a couple hundred dollars?
-My employer, an engineering consulting firm, used to NOT pay for home state licenses. It's not that unusual. They paid for OOS ones they require for projects.
-You would have better economic...
