My degree plan required us to take an EE class in the form of Digital Logic. It made me realize that I wanted nothing to do with hardware ever again.

@wolfman1911 Yikes. I quickly realized EE was not for me, or at the very least, not then. I'm not too interested in studying math for 75% of my classes for the next 4-years.

Was the class bad, or the Prof?

Yes

The teacher wasn't bad, except for the fact that he kind of bailed on us about a month or two before the semester ended.

I kinda came to the conclusion that teaching that class was a punishment or something, but I don't really remember why.

>he kind of bailed on us about a month or two before the semester ended.

That's sketch.

I also wished college's taught less bullshit or only shit that's relevant to your career.

I could have graduated 1-2 quarters (3-6 months) sooner if there wasn't added bullshit that the college clearly wanted to make funding off of.

But you can't be a civil engineer without reading the Vagina Monologues

Certain mbers of Congress WILL attempt to impeach him anyways- Fuck facts, *'Orange man bad.'*
The day they start I intend to be in DC; I really don't give a fuck why, if the Senate does actually go there, they will find a dangerous psychotic **PHYSICALLY** blocking their path.
They remove him over my *litteral* dead body.

@Shadows i don't think mass automation is why people are pushing UBI either, i think its the main argument they make for it

@[DGI]tech the bullshit your referring to is the "liberal education" philosophy that the US has adopted. it tries to ensure members come out of college well rounded. Europe has been moving away from this model, thus they now have 3 year degree programs.

@Putz I have a bud over in Europe, and in a way college is largely indoctrination camps just as it may be here in certain areas.

But, I will admit, moving towards a 3-year program would be nice. I to this day do not think their "well rounded programs" are of any benefit, nor holds any merit towards society. It's a waste of my time, and money. You should learn to interact in a wide array of situations from your parents if they aren't incompetent (which many are unfortunately), and you will learn even more so when you enter the professional workforce. Newer generations are largely being coddled, and many of them would not survive in the military. Unfortunately, even the military is being cucked into oblivion because "feelings." Emotion skews decision making, and can sway people when they shouldn't.

Also, video games, and other forms of art that directly reflect our cultural values are being torn apart due to inaccuracies. History is being diluted, and next thing you know purple hair dildo wearers are going to claim to have won previous world wars through the power of friendship.

@[DGI]tech that's why more emphasis is and will be made on certifications, degrees are depreciating at an alarming rate

@Putz Agreed.

A friend of mine who is a consultant for nigh all things IT largely does not care for degrees.

He prefers certifications, and will ultimately judge you by testing you during the interview process to make you prove your worth.

interviews are also shaky at best, but that's why i liberally used the "90 day probation programs" as a manager (back before i retired). HR departments hate you letting people go during probation because they"aren't a fit" or without providing retraining, etc to people before releasing them

interviews can certainly get rid of truly bad candidates, but at a professional level job if you can't pretend to be competent for an hour, you have to be truly bad

Oh most definitely. Interviews with unknown candidates are very hit and miss. In my case, we have a new Manager making process and procedures changes without knowing our job, nor our company (granted we do things a bit backwards which is retarded) and he's sinking our ship.

I've only ever been fired once in my career, and that was at Costco. Why? Because I challenged my Manager over a lot of bad decisions he made, and I tried making certain functions of my duties more efficient. I also did not get along well with several people, and one in particular who I knew from High-School. Regardless, I felt all alone working there. It was as if everyone was putting on a "fake" smile and not being true to themselves. My experience felt fake at the shop I worked at, and I would have quit not long after regardless.

that's all businesses, skilled leadership is hard to come by and to expensive when it does. Also employees seldom know the big picture and managers seldom know the details. Then managers who take on most of the risk are often very nervous about delegating. A good rule of thumb is if someone can accomplish a task at least 70% as well as you can, delegate it and move on

Interesting.

Thanks for the life advice @Putz 😃
