I remember taking statics and dynamics with this professor who was only a few years older than me, he was like 28
I looked him up and he had like every accommodation possible, internship at NASA, 4.0, you get the idea.
And he was teaching at a cheap tuition state school. My statics class was 200 people btw
How the fuck is anyone going to have a chance in engineering if even the best of the best have to go back to school and teach?
Why is no one talking about how oversaturated the field is?

Pick one or the other as they are mutually exclusive, unless you're 77 years old and this happened before 1970, because that's when NASA lost its greatness and became retarded mutts once again.
>>
>>534450125
True. Teaching is easy once you done the class three times and edited out all your mistakes and can clearly grasp the level of your students.
Working as an engineer... yeah, something new every job
>>
>>534449843
Was he just teaching?
Professors are often forced to teach. Most just want to do research and go to work for a school that aligns with their preferred field of study, but they sometimes have to teach courses as a condition of employment, even teaching really basic 101 type shit.

My dad is/was a MacDonnell Douglas Dynamics Technical Fellow. He teaches graduate class now a class at the local prestigious university.

Check them out I guess.

Everything is fake and gay.

You used to have to show ability to get a job and produce tangible results, now you show a paper which isn't actually a metric of anything real. Currency used to be backed by gold, now it's backed by nothing and printed infinitely. Even stocks and bonds have been replaced by fake derivities which can be sold many times over where nobody owns the actual promised product. It's all smoke and mirrors which are used to mask a quickly collapsing system of unending inflation and deflation. Now real world systems are starting to fail, you're witnessing house markets crash, airlines crash irl because no one has the proper skills anymore and multi-billion companies which are just daycares for non-functioning adults who unconsciously feed into the fake and gay machine.

Very impressive what numerically solving that shit does in computer programs though - realistic water physics yeah.

No, post doc. He had a great NASA scholarship in his undergrad years, got his pHD and wound up at a shitty state school. It's curious why he isn't working at a higher substantive company or university until I looked up the BLS numbers
ASME will say there's more demand than supply but it's the opposite. There is simply too many people trying to get engineering degrees
>>
>>534452192
But the thing is shitskins can't engineer anything and most of those schools unless they're ABET accredited are dogshit.
>>
>>534452192
PRDAs are like actors, sometimes you find yourself 'resting' between contracts. He's getting the teaching experience/admin/service boxes ticked and probably paying his bills before something better comes along.
Without knowing the details usually you have to move around a lot to keep things going, teaching at a low tier institution is probably the alternative move if he's waiting for his girlfriend to, say, finish med school or whatever.
>>
>>534452410
most state schools are abet certified
of those 200 people in statics, about 80 graduate(I switched to physics+math and now work in an unrelated sales gig).
Of those 80 that get to graduate, maybe 40% work as engineers. The rest do whatever, this is where you get those 22 yo college graduate working in a call center stories
The fucked up thing is it's still listed as employment, this is how job numbers can go up when credit crisis of the middle class reaches depression level numbers.
You can get fired from your 120k software engineering gig, take a job as an uber driver, and be considered "fully employed"

Calling BS as an engineer at an aerospace prime. Even our janitors are US Citizens because they need security clearances to enter our backrooms.
>>
>>534453208
>Calling BS
I'm calling BS on you. Companies in the US hire fucking chinks by the tens of thousands in classified positions knowing full well they send everything they get their tiny yellow fingers on back to the CCP. No one gives a chit about clearances anymore unless it's about keeping whites out of a good paying job.

>>534452192
Maybe his hometown is near the shitty state school. I also have a PhD and interned at NASA. My advisor told me how you get a teaching job at a school at lesser caliber than the one you got a PhD in. So I don’t know where your anon professor got his PhD from or what his caliber of research is. But I’m assuming he just wants to live nearby from where he’s teaching. That’s how I ended up where I’m at despite offers of higher pay at places like spacex and Tesla.
>>
>>534453542
Chinks are overrepresented in academia, not so much industry. ITAR keeps most of the riff raff out.
there is a large percentage of Indian h1bs in the aerospace scene, another factor in the degradation of the utility of engineering degrees in the US. Having said this, the way clearance works in any aerospace/military/ whatever installation is you key card into your little square and that's all you really know about
Engineering isn't like software, where you do have a lot of that arbitrage

People don't want to be on the hook for the rest of their lives paying debt they cant afford or being kike puppets like Elon. Don't even get me started on how they want to price us out of being able to have families.

So, it's somehow better for you to be a wagie to the indebted kike slaves who own the businesses?

>wagie
Leverage your strengths to overcome your weaknesses. Get a better job and save money by living with your family or parents.
Then start acquiring assets that make you money. To get there you need to trade on your employment and pay off your first property. Then use that property as a source of income to acquire the next. Landlord and network so you can get into a bigger business like a larger grocery store or a truck parking lot, graduating to a 3PL. Simple as.

Only non-drug-addicted US citizens can be eligible for clearances.. my workplace is like 60:20:10:10 white:hispanic:slope:black and I'm in Los Angeles.

Very few pink hairs, very few gays. I'm expected to drink whiskey until 3AM with the customers when we have our events.

It's the best workplace culture you can get nowadays.
>>
>>534456315
Lol, so I suggested you not be a wagie. To which you said you didn't want to go into debt. And, now you're trying to give me financial advise which is to borrow money to become a landlord?

Lmao, wtf are you smoking?
>>
>>534456656
You think Indians and Somaliens aren't granted American citizenship? You can hold clearance and still have dual passports.
>>
>>534456661
Most people with a decent job are paying down a mortgage on a house. If you can't do it by yourself, then you need to get help with friends and family. Do what you can to save up that down payment.
You don't borrow money willy nilly just because. You borrow money against the property you will then own in order to buy more properties.
You either stay a wagie or you organize.
>>
>>534456784
You don't get into SAPs with dual passports - especially from those countries.

You might see a greencard working level 1 but the real shit is handled by citizens. It's the software side that gets fucked by h1bs
The reason you're seeing 737s fall out of the sky is due to MBAs cutting corners and collecting paychecks for the quarterly gains.
It's corporate that's been the downfall of America, not the engineering teams

Is this a fucking bot?
>People don't want to be on the hook for the rest of their lives paying debt

Both of those statements are from you. So, you are against opening a business that actually produces something of value because you think you would have to borrow money to do it, but you're okay playing the mortgage leveraged landlord ponzi scheme?

That's fucking retarded.

You're a moron, he is literally living the fucking dream. Most people grind out in industry for a fucking sniff at the thought of being a non-tenure track prestige professor later in life. This guy just walked in and will be a research professor in short order.

87 million mortgages in the US, only 40% have the mortgages paid off, so about 35 million true homeowners in a country of 350+ million people

A business needs to have a product valorized by the market in order to have cashflow.
You, as someone obviously broke, need cashflow.
It's easier to run a convenience store, or even section 8 housing, than to start a new business from scratch. I remember when new places like vape shops still had people building you mechanical vape mods and even tank coils instead of the chinkshit today.
You will have to borrow money either way, but at least you will see a return from being a landlord.
>>
>>534457248
You can still borrow money against the fraction of principal you have already paid off but I would not recommend it unless you buy a building with ready tenants paying a decent price and you have enough time to pay it down before the turn of the next business cycle.

>>534450393
Yes. Many later military designs were based on principles pioneered by the H1. Reminds me of the F4 Corsair.

Yeah, you may be too young to remember 2008, but I'm not. I saw people like you lose everything when their property halved in value and their variable mortgage went through the roof, while their tenants lost their jobs and left thier homes empty. Meanwhile I had been making money building those homes, they were losing, with my construction company. And, after the kikes had rug pulled all the mortgaged land"lords", I was able to buy their properties for pennies on the dollar, since I still had my money from building them.

That's the difference between producing something of value and speculating on something of value with borrowed money. But, you go ahead. I'm sure housing isn't currently in a bubble, and the kikes won't rug pull it again at some point.

Cool, where is your construction company now after all the commodity building materials shakeouts during COVID?
If housing was a bubble right now, it would have popped right when Trump hit Iran due to the oil price shock and banks would be calling loans back in to maintain liquidity. As it currently is, people are hodling onto houses for dear life as it looks to be the last asset class they can afford in this economy

I bought land at the beach after the crash and started building my own vacation homes. I got into a disagreement over zoning with the county and lost. So, I built a restaurant and bar on the property. I retired from building after that. Just been playing around at the bar for the last decade. But, covid was great, Florida was full of tourists the whole time.

I beleive there's a bubble where I am. It may be more regional but here these 1-2 million dollar houses that were selling like hot cakes three years ago are just sitting there. They aren't selling, and I've started seeing price reductions. I don't think we'll see a 2008 situation with housing again unless everything else takes a shit, but I beleive it will come down maybe 30% over the next few years. Which will lock most people into an upside down mortgage, and the lower home prices will lower rent prices. That opens them up to liabilities, like the economy taking a shit, not having tenants that can pay the now over market mortgage, and being stuck with an under performing over leveraged asset.

I'm not saying property is a bad investment necessarily. But, this new borrow to the moon to "own" multiple properties is retarded. I bought a bunch of shitty rental properties for dirt cheap after 08 but it was for cash. After taxes, insurance, and upkeep, I don't even see how you can generate enough income from rentals to support yourself if you have mortgages on them. So, you're still stuck working, most likely.

>>534458962
It's nice seeing something you built, but the work sucks. They did pull the ladder up. I opened my construction business in 2000 at 19 years old. All I did was go to the county court house and pay $450 and they gave me a general contractors license. That isn't possible today. Not to mention your labor being undercut by illegal workers way more than it was twenty years ago.
>>
>>534460162
>over the next few years
I don't think it'll crash too much with Trump lying about inflation, firing the fed chairman, and saying he's going to protect boomer's home values with 50 year mortgages lmao
