Big  , friendI loving floundered my way through college, starting and then bouncing off of a computer science/coding degree and winding up, ultimately, in corporate management. Not doing mechanical engineering is something I deeply regret. I should have just went with the thing I liked.

it’s never too late my dudes I started learning more about EE at 45 and love it. I have no delusions about it ever being my day job but that was never the point. Even with a wife and kid in my case

i really wanted to go into EE in college bc i loved radio. but every adult i knew said You Know Computers Do Computers Everything Is On Computers Now so thats what i did. honestly kind of glad i didn't go down the path i chose, i probably would hate radio now and have some poo poo job installing 5g hotspots idk.

my undergrad was ee and it is crazy to me that I make so much more than ees do when their jobs are without a doubt more serious and difficult than mine in every conceivable way aside from maybe the slight chance of "oops I made a bad infra structure decision and cost the company seven figures in dynamodb expenses" type stuff idk though maybe EEs feel like their jobs are easy too

PIZZA.BAT posted:i could always tell there was some secret sauce to how dick dale played it vs everyone else i heard play it but i never knew what it was He played so hard and fast that he would basically work-harden his strings where they ran over the bridge and snap all the time. Not true 'melting the strings' as the legend goes, but about as close as you can get He was a very, very important guitar player that anybody who fundamentally loves the instrument respects, even if they're not remotely interested in surf rock
