    Do you wear suit and tie to work? Do you think people should be?

    I like ties because they're a means for some individuality in a world (government workers) where most everyone is white shirt/black pants or blue shirt/khaki pants. Rarely do I need to wear a full suit though.

    Schools Extracurriculars for science majors (to help get in grad school) ?

    You mention you'd like to go toward engineering for graduate school. I would recommend looking at things like solar car competitions or robotics competitions that the engineering department at your school may have clubs for. This will benefit you in a couple of ways: 1) It can help show the...

    Engineering Can I get back into science/engineering after leaving?

    Would you enjoy the new job more than your current one? Any number of factors could weigh on the decision: more interesting, better pay, better hours, better opportunities in the future, etc. If you find the factors are more in favor of the new job, then take it! If not, don't! I would say...

    Photo Contest - Bad Photo (2/4-2/10)

    The combo of a night time shot plus a pup that wouldn't stand still resulted in this. While technically a bad photo, kind of a neat turnout anyway. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1021/sdc12896m.jpg

    Amazing Quantum Levitation Demonstration Video

    I know what you're saying, but it just sounds better than "superconducting yttrium barium copper oxide" ;) "Quantum" makes it news worthy.

    Is accepting a job offer with lower pay worth it for the opportunity for growth?

    1) Congrats on accepting a job offer! Seems to be hard to find these days and particularly in this forum. 2) I agree with the others that $20/hr seems low to have a title of program manager. Maybe you'll actually be doing more of the 'support'.
