AI Thread Summary
Understanding thermodynamics is not essential for becoming a plumber, but a basic knowledge can be beneficial. While concepts like the first and second laws of thermodynamics may enhance problem-solving skills, they are not typically required in everyday plumbing tasks. Diagrams such as pV, pT, and VT are generally not necessary for plumbers, as practical skills take precedence. The discussion suggests that seeking advice from a specialized plumbing forum would yield more relevant insights. Ultimately, practical experience and hands-on training are more critical for success in plumbing than a deep understanding of thermodynamics.

Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering.

I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
