SRK Lounge: More like turned on by Lesbian Seagulls

When we took the fan back to the engineering department, the alarm that was on the console had become audible. I figured that alarm was for our chiller, but WTF do I know about engineering’s monitoring software? Anyway, the poor engineer was waaaaay in the back of the department for some reason, so we told him “you got an alarm going off up front.”

“I know, I’m just finishing up…”

“okay” GettingTFO

Behind us we hear “OH SHIT! THAT’S A BOILER ALARM!!”

run out laughing

I hope nothing got blown up. :xeye:

VampireSoldier:

Older brotha on the job I’ve been talking to suggested to me that I look into going back to school for engineering be it either Electrical, or mechanical. He said few engineers have hands on mechanical experience. Hence why planes tend to be designed in a way where some jobs have spots that are hard to get to, to do a job which increases labor time among other things. He said that if I continued to work as a mechanic while pursuing my degree. I can make good money right out of school and have an edge over other grads thanks to that experience.

He also mentioned looking into training for Air Traffic controller. From the research I’ve did so far. Air Traffic controller is said to be one of the most stress jobs there is. But they make bank though. While engineering is said to be a tough degree to get with a lot of engineering students dropping out and what not. But it doesn’t seem as stressful as Air Traffic control and they make pretty good money. Looked on CJhunter.com and saw some engineering jobs with Lock Heed Martin, GE etc that offered contracts paying 60-80 and hour.

So any engineering guys here or those familiar with the field care to give your 2cents? If I were to pursue this which engineering discipline would be better for a aviation guy? I thought about Aerospace engineering but that is said to be too specialized and not as flexible as mechanical or electrical engineering. I was thinking come 2017 I’ll find a job in GA with a year of experince under my belt, and move back there to attend a community college, then transfer to Georgia Tech to get my bachelors.

EE here, but I’m not going to recommend one over the other. You really have to ask yourself what kind of work you like to do and what your end goal is. If it’s primarily for financial reasons, than you will be find either way(depending on where you are of course and where you might end up).

However, like all fields of work you can be stuck doing very redundant and dull work for really good pay. Believe me, after a couple of years like all things it will get to you and you will begin to question whether you should move on or if you even picked the right field…

Basically, consider all the variables before you make a decision and really reflect and ask yourself what it is that you want to do in the grand scheme of things…

For you engineering bruvs, i was at confrence a couple of weeks ago with some O & G industry big wigs and bankers. They essentially all agreed that the good times in O&G are basically over. But they acknowledged that they arent ready talentwise for a quick upswing/recovery. So dont rule out the industry but dont keep your hopes up
