    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    thanks again guys for your interest in my problems. do you know what those are? I've taken the myers-briggs test and my result is always INTP, likewise my holland codes are typically "investigative" and "realistic". likewise I hired a neuropsycholgy intern to test my brain (i had neurological...

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    right, i don't think I'm a particularly talented electrician and the only reason i continue to be employed is because there's a strong need for this kind of work and not the people to do it.

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    either i communicated poorly or several people are having a simultaneous reading comprehension problem: I'm extemely good at math and I'm choosing EE specifically because I want to take coursework which focuses heavily on math. i do not think i would do as well in an EET degree because i am...

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    are they electricians or EEs? the books I've found on this are really terrible and it's hard to to figure out if this is something that would be a good fit. I know there can be a lot of overlap between the guy with the ticket and the guy with the BS. no i slept thru high school; college on...

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    Actually I have. I'm worked at a hydro plant last year and I was fascinated by the large, mysterious black boxes. I've spent the last few months inteviewing professionals and professors. Years ago, I was really talented with math. This may be less true now but I think there is something...

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    yes it's the same here. do you have any advice for maintaining motivation to keep in school fulltime? intellectual burnout is a real and powerful thing.

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    thanks. I'm planning on enrolling in night school soon enough. i haven't figured out if it makes more sense to go to two year college where they are more likely to accommodate my work schedule, or the 4 year school; i can't seem to get any straight answers on transfer policy. i can't say I'm...

    Engineering Electrician vs EE: Which Path is Right for Me?

    Hey guys I'm trying to figure out my path forward. I'm currently in an electrician apprenticeship which I enjoy a lot however I sense I have a stronger talent for engineering work. I've interviewed several EEs and it seems that my motivations for entering the fields are sound; however I don't...

    Programs Another should-i-be-a-math major thread

    Oops, I think you all have misunderstood me. I am not lazy, however, my college career has been sadly abbreviated several times by postviral/chronic fatigue syndrome. I don't go to class because I don't care, but rather because I can't get out of bed. I have a hard time gauging my ability...

    Programs Another should-i-be-a-math major thread

    Hey you guys. I thought I sucked at math for ages. I remember in algebra class staying up till the wee hours of the morning and still not understanding that substitution concept. I'm still not sure if I should blame my teacher for not explaining the concept at all and generally being a dick...

    There are worse things in life than never being someone's sweetie

    It sure is nice when it happens, but don't count on it. By the way, where are all you physics nerds? I need a date or something to keep my mind off how boring and dull and mundane my life is.
