I work with a good many hiring managers, from commuter airlines, high end car dealers, small engineering firms, architects and a lot of other fields (including a minor league baseball team once). I get more resumes sent to me for serious vetting for people who have much more experience than the job posting asked for but also often with less education than they were looking for.

McNally posted:I ought to look into going to that gunsmithing college in Pennsylvania instead of getting a degree. My dad's friend he used to share an office with when he was a 1st Sgt became a fully certified gunsmith after he retired and pulls about 90K a year fixing things rednecks and middle class dads do to their .22s, ARs and 1911s out of his garage

MurderBot posted:After working with professors who were on tenure track, I think the first 5-6 years of their professorship in all honesty is just to make as little negative waves as possible. Then, after however many years it takes to get tenure they're burnt out as all hell and could give 2 shits less that Johnny Backwards cap ate his pencil during the test and took a poo poo on his paper to prove some anti-establishment movement, the bowel movement looked like a C so he got a 70% on his multiple choice quiz. Being a professor seems to truly suck in the academia portion if you're teaching anything below junior level classes. This is incredibly true. My experience with professors has been "Chilled out older person just waiting for death or retirement" but GAs are just there to make sure everyone hates the university experience as much as they did

As a 33 year old dating and now sharing my home with a 23 year old, it's pretty nice. But she's had a big girl job for 3 years now and has run her own life for awhile so the age gap really only pops up when I quote Beavis and Butthead

So that transcipt is essentially D&D Bingo. Patriarchy this, and non-binary that. Also don't you know that queer people have a unique insight on the human impact of extractive industries? Extracting any sense of fun and comfort from the room, for sure

I remember when people started getting mad about this and my dad then explained it to me, since he was one of ASPO's liaison's to NASA. "They had to invent a hammer that wouldn't spark when you hit it against something in an oxygen rich environment 40 miles about the planet, but still was heavy enough to get the job done. Between scientists planning, engineers designing and some guy in Houston actually building it, $500 is a drat bargain"

I'm friends with a dentist, very nice lady with two of her own offices, I get free dental work because when people skip out on their bill I do her legwork and find them so she can collect either through an agency or adjudication. I've also done some cabling and simple IT stuff for her a few times as well. All in all it's a pretty sweet deal
