CableZL 03/26/24 5:40:07 PM #35:	Smallville posted... i did too. You dropped out cause you couldn't pay for it anymore though? That was part of it. My mom was already in tons of debt and she was paying for most of it. I didn't want to put her in more debt. I was also dealing with health issues because I got viral meningitis the summer before 9th grade. It caused me to have infected fluid in my brain and spine, which gave me some brain tumors and I started having seizures randomly. They put me on dilantin to control the seizures. It wasn't until years after I stopped taking dilantin that I found out that it causes short term memory loss. It was bad. I was an A and B student in school and I graduated from middle school in the top 15% of my class. School was easy for me back then. After I started taking dilantin, I would forget stuff a LOT. The teacher would teach us stuff and I'd understand the stuff perfectly. Sometimes, by the time the teacher handed out worksheets so we could practice what we learned, I would have already forgotten it all. When I was in college, my mom gave me an ATM card so that I could withdraw money if I needed to buy something. There was a time where I put the card in the ATM, pulled money out, then walked away without the card. By the time I realized I forgot the card, the machine ate it. My mom overnighted me another card. I did the exact same thing the next day. There was also a time where I got on the bus to go home with my backpack full of books. I got off the bus without my backpack and started walking home. I was about half way to my apartment when I realized I didn't have my backpack any more. I went back to school and waited hours for all the buses to come around. My backpack was gone and no one had turned it in to lost and found. I did relatively OK in school that year, but not as well as I would have hoped. I was wanting to major in computer science, but I was frustrated that none of my classes had anything to do with computers. I was taking a bunch of classes that I didn't care about and didn't want to do more "pre-requisite" classes the next year. So I just dropped out. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:979577401] in Do you guy...

Smallville 03/26/24 5:42:40 PM #38:	CableZL posted... That was part of it. My mom was already in tons of debt and she was paying for most of it. I didn't want to put her in more debt. I was also dealing with health issues because I got viral meningitis the summer before 9th grade. It caused me to have infected fluid in my brain and spine, which gave me some brain tumors and I started having seizures randomly. They put me on dilantin to control the seizures. It wasn't until years after I stopped taking dilantin that I found out that it causes short term memory loss. It was bad. I was an A and B student in school and I graduated from middle school in the top 15% of my class. School was easy for me back then. After I started taking dilantin, I would forget stuff a LOT. The teacher would teach us stuff and I'd understand the stuff perfectly. Sometimes, by the time the teacher handed out worksheets so we could practice what we learned, I would have already forgotten it all. When I was in college, my mom gave me an ATM card so that I could withdraw money if I needed to buy something. There was a time where I put the card in the ATM, pulled money out, then walked away without the card. By the time I realized I forgot the card, the machine ate it. My mom overnighted me another card. I did the exact same thing the next day. There was also a time where I got on the bus to go home with my backpack full of books. I got off the bus without my backpack and started walking home. I was about half way to my apartment when I realized I didn't have my backpack any more. I went back to school and waited hours for all the buses to come around. My backpack was gone and no one had turned it in to lost and found. I did relatively OK in school that year, but not as well as I would have hoped. I was wanting to major in computer science, but I was frustrated that none of my classes had anything to do with computers. I was taking a bunch of classes that I didn't care about and didn't want to do more "pre-requisite" classes the next year. So I just dropped out. your atm card? someone coulda easily stole all your money right? --- "That won't work Boss, hide the target in a place they're unlikely to be found"---GZ <cite>Smallville posted [p:979577462] in Do you guy...

A company that sells and produces batteries varying from regular alkaline battteries to military stuff. One really cool project I've been working on is designing and developing a battery for a solar power boat that's being developed by a technical university in my country, which will be used in a race in Monaco come summer. Another project I've been guiding is the development of a back up battery for a hydrogen powered LMP3 race car which is set to compete with regular LMP race cars in a competition that could ultimately lead them to qualify for Le Mans --- There is no need for gulags for those that consent to their own chains - Thomas Williams <cite>haarlem1982 posted [p:979577486] in Do you guy...

What I mean is not act like you know stuff when you really don't and just listen to the discussions, trying to learn and be able to apply that in the future. It also helps with you not getting in over your head. I mean, sure, there are times when I feel a bit behind, especially in MT meetings where I'm the only one who doesn't at least have a college degree, when that happens, I tend to just listen and focus on what I can learn from the back and forth between collegues instead of trying to prove myself by potentially saying stupid shit --- There is no need for gulags for those that consent to their own chains - Thomas Williams <cite>haarlem1982 posted [p:979577663] in Do you guy...

MacadamianNut3 03/26/24 5:56:18 PM #50:	Smallville posted... are you glad you got those degrees looking back though? Hell yeah Ignoring the fact that when my defense started to come up I kinda wanted to isekai myself because most people at that stage do, both of them were full rides with stipends, I met great friends there who I still keep in touch with regularly (one lives like 20 miles from me in the DC area now), and a PhD in CS gives me a lot of options for employment. I've been at a government research lab for almost a decade now, and if I wanted to I could still go the professor route (will probably do adjunct eventually on the side) or go industry like some of my former coworkers at the lab have done. You're slightly more limited if you just go BS and MS since companies/agencies will view you only as a code monkey and not somebody who can perform research as well. --- Roll Tide & Go Irish <cite>MacadamianNut3 posted [p:979577726] in Do you guy...
