RacerJJ Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Congrats! What a great accomplishment. I just graduated myself in January and it is a tremendous feeling. Mine was about 5 years late but better late than never I guess. Way to go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like the engineers who are getting paid 4 times the amount you are, will give you vague ideas of what they are looking for and then you draw it out, designing pretty much the entire print while they collect the pats on the back and the 5 figure bonus checks. That's pretty much how it seems to work here. I should of stayed in school for my engineering degree but was completely bored to tears in a lot of the classes needed for that piece of paper. Grats on the degree, it's a long damn 4 years to get that thing thats for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... the good thing is... i'm only 20.. so i still have time to go back and get my engineering degree if i want.. .... or i could just stay in this field for another 2-3 years and just become a CAD Designer..

If you can get that piece of paper it helps bigtime on the pay scale, maybe your job will pay for you to get that degree, you never know.
