That makes a lot of sense, and under some circumstances that would be the best thing to do. Unfortunately, my company makes employees sign an agreement to stay for a few years after graduation in exchange for help with tuition. It may be easier to find a job when you already have one rather...
I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm in a different area of engineering, but I've been feeling the same way.
In my case, the way to get "hands on" experience is to be on-site during building construction projects, or even to do some construction work. Having that kind of...
I agree with most of DanDel's post. The FE is a difficult test. I don't think very many people have studied all the topics it covers. I have a friend who's absolutely brilliant. We were in Differential Equations together. She breezed through DiffyQ and got the highest grade in the class -...
I already pared the personal stuff in my cube down to what I can carry out easily. I've cleaned up my computer, too. All that's left on it (other than work related files, of course) is my resume, some grad school information, and the plans for my house.
I work for a small company, not the...

Accreditation shouldn't matter, since I already have an accredited bachelor's. I'm really getting my master's to learn more about structural engineering.
Well, I've given informal notice. Probably the biggest thing that the guys I work for have going for them is that they offer good job security. They aren't sleazy or dishonest, they're just poor at picking out and managing employees. I didn't think they'd fire someone who had announced they'd...

I started out at the firm as a drafter 8 years ago, earned my engineering degree while working full time, and was...
