I don't disapprove. Thank you all for your support.

I've since apologized for the blip comment. And you're preaching to the coir with respect to programming. Regardless of my plans I'll have to learn it. It's just not the most rewarding thing for me personally, but I do enjoy messing with it. Just not something I want to make the sole experience...

I don't struggle with high school physics. Nor do I not learn well. But my undergrad is going to be at a <50 school because of a bad freshman year and I don't feel like gambling to try to get to an ivy for grad school only to blunder my PhD away and become a programmer somewhere. That's not me...

I know I'm not smart enough to make it as a physicist. And this isn't going to be another, "Convince me to be a physicist" thread. I just want to know how others approach the problem of simply not being good enough to do something you want to do. I had dreams the last couple years of getting a...

To be clear I was looking for job listings for the express purpose of gauging the market for different types of engineers. Not to look for a job myself. Monster and indeed don't serve my purpose because they don't offer me numbers to look at or a look at what jobs are typically offered to...

You need to find the magnitude of the forces in the x and y direction. You do this by taking the magnitude given and using sine and cosine of the angle that they're at to find them.

Decompose the vectors into their components (y and x) and add them accordingly. Do you know how to do that?

I figured, but I'm on my tablet and the App isn't being responsive when I search. Figured one more thread to add to the mix wouldn't hurt.

Ha, wasn't expecting to get someone who's actually written a book. I'll check out your stuff. I own the 2013 version of K&K btw.

So I'm taking AP-C: E&M for my last high school semester and wanted to take some time to read up with a rigorous special relativity book. I've already taken the equivalent of Calculus 1-3 at a university level and I've read Kleppner and Kolenkow's Mechanics book up to the chapters on Special...

Physics and Calc 2 can be a big load. Chem 1 isn't anything to worry about since you'll only need algebra to solve problems and the labs are usually straight forward. If it were me I'd tack on the Graphics class, but you're a better judge of your own abilities than I am. So just think about it...

That's interesting to me, because a friend of mine who just got their MS pretty much ONLY gets interviews by applying. She has problems with recruiters not really contacting her. To her credit, she works for a company doing GIS in her hometown now. Assuming she's an outlier, why do you say it's...

Old is fine in good condition I hear. I don't think the subtleties of the changes really make a big difference.

I sort of want to gauge the level of demand for certain types of engineers. Specifically Nuclear Engineers. And thought I'd look to google for lists of job postings, but they're sort of spread around. I was wondering if there are particularly good places to find job postings, as well as websites...

Wow, featured :D I wasn't getting notifications so I thought the thread had died. One thing my SO was interested in was the fact that she was a woman and ultimately she probably wouldn't be able to convince anyone, since they'd see her naked and just assume she was a whore, and she doesn't have...
