No Dave...that was Paula Abdul. Back in her hot days!

Ugh! The only class that I ever had with that kind of student count was "Survey of Marketing". For some strange reason I was the only Engineer in that class too.

ntsqd, did you get at least a minor in Business? Pretty much required where I worked.

Nope, wanted nothing to do the Business College.

I don't blame you but where I worked, if you didn't have it, your were required to get it within a set period of time or you were either gone or were going to go nowhere within the company. I picked up some bit and pieces of it in meetings which later came in handy; the one time I used some of it I had threats based on what I said (they later backed off when they found out that my suggestion [would have {I never did hear the final decision on it}] had made life easier for them and apologized profusely. Their reaction was a knee-jerk reaction to what required the additional thought).

Friggen physics. I hated it, was terrible at it, and just had a job interview where for an hour straight I had to pull formulas out of my head to try and convince an engineer I'm worthy to work for him.

Mike,
I thought you were a computer science major?

One of my profs had the right idea. Who cares if you have the formula memorized, you can look it up more often than not. The issue is can you apply it correctly and work it correctly (no Integrating across Zero, that kind of thing).

I am, but for whatever reason CSUSM decided I needed a bunch of physics classes. I was one class short by design of the major of minoring in physics.. I'm not so great at math... that's why I was thrown for a loop when I got grilled last Friday..

Those are the best kind of professors!

Copper, electricity and magnetism isn't too bad. That is the only physics class I got an A in...


Mike, What kind of job were you applying for?

Programming job for a government contractor. They landed a big job to build some kind of printer. Sorry Copper- your car in your thread seems to have died...
