The man who runs the site, Tom, has created a quick-reference guide. I'm not sure if you have to take one of his classes to get one, though.
I have a job right now; that's why he doesn't want me to change anything. Tutoring is a good idea, though. Until we have kids, I could spare some time in the evenings. Plus, my husband is being relocated to Oregon for 9 months and I'm not going with him. I'll definitely have time on my...
My husband is a full-time engineer. He'd be home at night and on the weekends, but then I also need to spend time with him. He's not too keen on the idea of spending money on school, and he thinks it's my restlessness that makes me want to go back, not an actual burning desire.
Thank you, all of you. I spent my early days mostly in the hands of my aunt and grandmother, and I'm actually grateful for that. I also loved, LOVED preschool. I feel like I'm very blessed to have so many options. I'm also blessed to have been able to discuss this with all of you.
By the...
The University where all of my credits count is oblivious to full-time-employed students. They offer night and weekend graduate courses, but undergrads are supposed to be full-time students. My local community colleges don't offer engineering courses I haven't already taken and the "other"...
That made me feel a lot better. I know there are scholarships just for people returning to school full time, which might be an option once all of my kids are born. I am also at a point where I can't really take any more online classes, and the "real" classes are during my workday. Like I...
I already have decided to start my kids in preschool at 2, because I loved it and because it's a great start! But if we have 4 kids (like I want), that's still 8 years of babies! My mom will help, but not full time and not three at a time! I'm lucky, though, to have all these options, like...
Thank you for your perspectives. I'll never be able to stay home completely while my kids are young ($), so going back to school doesn't make much sense. But now I feel better about knowing that door should be open for a while. Right now I'm a Secretary/Engineering Tech/Assistent Inspector...
I don't mind killing myself if it's worthwhile. A few years wasn't going to be worthwhile. There are other careers I wouldn't need to go to school for but that I don't want as much. I'm a natural-born engineer, but I stupidly decided to bury that fact and pursue Human Resources. Am I a...
Of course I'd wait until I was full time. That's what I meant by that statement. I don't have any engineering-related experience, other than what I do now, which I doubt counts. I'd commit now except that I want children. I feel like it's one or the other. That's ridiculous, but Engineering...
I gave up my Engineering dream in college (class of 2001) because I didn't want to kill myself for a few good years of work before I quit for kids. Now I want to go back, but I wouldn't even be able to finish my degree for at least 5 years (probably longer). Then I might not even be able to...
This happened to me at my last job. A new manager came in and decided she didn't like me. She, with the help of my Assistant Manager (under me) discredited me with the other managers one by one. I have no idea what was said or how they pulled it off. The few things I did hear were complete...
Thank you. That's how we feel. The new checklists were supposes to be voted on in January, with test audits this spring and summer. They are not expected to be active until October.
Work from the top down. And you know what people at the top think about...money. Here's the website for a Honeywell guy who could tell you about saving money with GD&T: www.gdtpcertification.com. Seriously, if your top guys/customers know how much incomplete drawings are costing them, they'll...
They are afraid I will quit to go to school full time, cut back to part time here, or find another job in the process.
BTW, I can't remember the term either!
