Journal florescent_beige's Journal: Puzzling 2
Puzzling. I wrote this post about a possible career alternative for gear-heads like I assume most of us around here are. In the context of outsourcing.
Frankly, with a little work (ok a lot of work), most young people with aptitude in math & physics can get a career with doctor-like compensation. Not one mod point. I don't care about karma or mods, but it puzzles me that the discussion would centre around fair/unfair and incompetent management.
I don't know. I thought people would think it's pretty cool to learn there's red-hot demand (which seems to be sustained) for certain geek-types and I even give detailed instructions how to get into it.
Puzzling. Oh well maybe the right people didn't see the post, which would be too bad.

Most people don't even know about it as a career option. High school guidance counsellors especially.
I ended up in it accidentally myself. I was in aero engineering and wanted to be a fluid dynamics analyst but I flunked out. Ended up in mech eng and materials seemed like the only way into the airplane racket. Now fluids people are a dime a dozen but structures? Very hard to find.
