Accurate statement. Especially when you have no completed degree.

:iagree:

I had 6 MS certs and no experience. That combo means diddly squat but it did get me in the door for an interview as a contractor and then got hired out of the group of 9. Moved up after a short time and it's been amazing. :tup:

Glad to hear you are moving up, that is a great job to have and put on the resume. :tup:

I keep telling myself I'll go back and get a degree at some point. I even had my grandfather bribe me with cash to go back to school (he has a PhD in Nuclear Physics :rolleyes:). Instead I keep finding myself expanding my knowledge in my field and taking on more responsibilities which ultimately leads to charging my clients more money.

I feel like I'm in a pretty good place right now and going back to school would just F all that up. Of course, I've been saying that for the last 10 years...

For sure. :tup:

Yeah same with my grandma. She's a firm believer in higher education. Anyway, it's pretty awesome that both you and Madwi have managed to make it through the same gauntlet. I guess at a certain point, I just kept going because I had nothing else better to do. At that time, it never entered my mind that there might actually be light on the other side, much less success.

I dunno. Lot's of musing today on the strange twists life has for us. I really was stunned when my boss informed me. Definitely rare to have a role like this, especially relatively young.

Fwiw, every QC manager/director I've worked with was ancient as **** :icon17:

The machinist with so many years he says FU, I am going to be in the AC from now on, bite me. :icon17:

Lol, accurate. I've met exactly one other guy in this role in my age range. It's a role that benefits tremendously from accumulated knowledge over time, so most companies I've encountered hang onto their QA staff as long as possible (unless incompetence/inability to adapt becomes a liability)

:iagree:

So basically, I'm sol.hahahaha

Talk to BigAudio. If I'm not mistaken, someone actually did figure out the Nav Unit issue and a work around, but I can't recall the title of the thread.

Idk, that was one of the first links that google gave me.

Fak, new heist on PD2 challenging. :tup:

Oh hi guys

Hey dood :hello:

How is it going?

I'm emotionally drained from Infinity War.

Yo!

Do NOT spoil it. I'm still waiting for a theatre to have tickets available.

I won't. Definitely need to see it again since I missed some lines while people were laughing too loud.

ssssssup itcheZ...

Mr. Rusty and I (mostly Mr. Rusty) finished installing the z1 differential and SPL bushings on the Z.. got a little more work to do tomorrow morning, and we should be good to go.

Mr. Rusty is the man! If there ever was a Z god, it'd be him.. He really knows his stuff.. Its impressive.

dudeZ. the forum is back up :ugh::ugh:

the drive down here to PA went smoothly.. the Z drove fantastically.. no issues.. so im happy and blessed.

Mr EW showed up at the door today at 1pm. Parked his Z in my "Little Shop of Horror's". We just called it a night. We installed his SPL diff bushings. What we have left to do tomorrow is hook up the drive shaft, the sway bar, exhaust, and fill the diff with lube.

Dee actually got his hands dirty. :rofl2:

mannnnn, not just my hands, im dirty all over...:icon17::icon17::icon17::icon17:

today was a good day.. I learned a ton, im forever grateful

Ohh and I forgot to mention, I installed mr. rusty's z1 master cylinder brace...

EW even installed my Z1 brake master cylinder brace. :tup: My mitts are a bit large to fit in that area. :shakes head:

and this time it took me less than hour... :ugh::ugh:

I'm going to be feeling this one for the next couple of days. :icon14:

Now you can call yourself a shade tree machatic. :rofl2:

:icon17::icon17::icon17::icon17:
