Business is like a marriage, only more important

Does she have to be an electrical engineer?

If she has big breasts and a nice face and can help me with an idea then it is a non-issue.

 

[I Dont Care]

The term 'engineer' always comes across to me as someone with a university degree, and a library sized knowledge of theories and text, but unable to grasp how the real world works

Define "real world".

Brunel, trained more as an apprentice than as a university trained engineer

Are you an...engineer?

Okay, so your problem is with tertiary education in general, presumably with the exception of whatever you studied?

 

[Stromageddon]

Nope.

Problem? I don't have a problem, it is merely on observation on my life's experience when confronted with university learned engineers, who give the orders to blokes at the coalface

 

[I Dont Care]

Nope.

Good

Hmm okay, so are you one of those people who complains about what a dunce his boss is, while never appreciating the irony inherent in that?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I studied Mechanical Engineering to be a draftsman....

While studying, I basically did part time work on the shop floor at a structural steel company to "see" what I'd be drawing as I was actually fabricating. It was most helpful and definitely gave me an understanding of "the real world"

That's a consultant.

I've actually never had an engineer as a boss...In fact I have mostly worked for myself, until I had to stop because of being physically unable. When I have had a boss, we usually get on very well, as a matter of fact an old boss I had over twenty years ago is now my neighbour and when I bump into him We reminisce like old mates

Was that your initiative, or were you encouraged to do so, Zakk?

I was encouraged to do that... Especially by the old man who was a foreman there and Fitter and Turner by trade.

The old man knew what I was talking about

My mum was a fitter and turner.

Fit food into bowls and turned it into shit.

I new a bloke who worked in the ladies underwear department at Johny's as a diesel fitter.

"Get real world experience" isn't good advice for engineers, though. It's good advice for absolutely everybody.
