Some of us got banned for doing that after that game.....

AND MY AXE!!

Some companies will pay for your schooling, just need to get a foot in the door. I work for RTX/Collins Aerospace, and we have such a program. I have two techs on my team right now working towards engineering degrees and it's all paid for. We also have paid internships, although the ones for next summer got filled last fall.

How far are you from Wilson, NC?

We need a linebackers coach, which could be covered by the new DC or shuffling responsibilities. If it's up to me though, I'd rather get someone new to the program given how awful that position has been the last few years.

Realistically, probably could use a change at safety as well.

Also, the new DC may have people he wants to bring with him and that could be part of the negotiation to take the job.

No way man, I followed the Cowboys long enough to know that they'll find a way to squeak into the playoffs only to get ass blasted by some mid level team in the first round.

Got rid of the membership years ago, I both don't live close to a planet fitness anymore, and also didn't want to give them my money if I wasn't using it. I do have access to a gym in my apartment complex. In the past, I didn't focus on strength training, because I felt like I got enough of it at work, but that's obviously not the case anymore. I really should get into sourdough. I typically don't like whole wheat stuff very much. Sourdough is step up from the white sugar breads that I like health wise and I do enjoy baking when I can find the time.

Thanks for the info!

I've been resistant to food tracking in the past, but cronometer does look like it provides some pretty interesting information. I'll have to check it out, thanks!

Ah man, not exactly reassuring to me to see this in a field I'm trying to break into. Hate to hear it more for you though. Good luck out there!

Well, since this thread is open anyways... Shit went sideways and I put my 2 weeks notice in about a month ago. I'm looking for a job obviously, but also for some short term career advice.

I've been working as some form of automotive technician for 5 years now, and while I'm sure there are some good jobs out there, I'm feeling pretty burnt out on the industry and am struggling to find one of the good jobs. There's a whole lot of BS and not enough money to want to deal with it. I have started working towards an Associates in Engineering degree with the current goal being to get a degree in mechanical engineering from one of the 4 year schools in Carolina. Hopefully, NC St. since they're a good engineering school and I'm currently living in Raleigh anyways.

My problem is that I need to find a way to support myself while I'm working on my degree. While my first semester went extremely well, straight As and 2nd place in the school's competition for the intro to engineering class, I don't think I have enough of a skill set to get a good paid internship yet. Although, I'll certainly try.

TL;DR I'm looking for any job to pay the bills for the moment in Raleigh, but am also trying to figure how to best pursue a degree and career in engineering. To add, I also have a degree in Natural Resources Conservation from VT, but I have struggled to get a job with that degree in the past. If anyone is interested I'm willing to share my resume and I'll try to post one online I can link to here in an edit some time tomorrow.

Thanks y'all

He's never signed a contract, the son thing is not binding until he does, I would think

I'm still looking for all these things. Structural is a big need.
And... if there is someone in western NC that would be interested in a branch office opportunity, we could have conversations about that as well.
