Thread: What did you study? What do you specialize in? What do you do for a living?

Majoring in Comp. Sci. half-way through my 5th year of college, should graduate May 2013 (finally...). Looking into working as a software engineer for some start-up, or doing something at Bell Helicopter.

Good thread xav. It is interesting to see what people have gone to school for and what they do. Personally i went for mrine biology but had to drop out like 4 classes before i was done. Sooner or later ill go back and finish just because i want the paper. Currently i do flooring which many here already know. I've been building and working on cars since i was 12.

So i can pretty much take a box of parts and build an engine with my eyes closed. Fixing has never been the part i enjoyed but building has always been exciting. Nothing like pushing yourself to see just how much power you can squeeze out of an engine. As an example my camaro. I took a 99 ls1 pushing 315 hp and got it up to 410 hp without replacing anything other then the flywheel and clutch.

Weapon systems were something i never gave a shit about until i was trained. From that point on its been a passion. So between cars and weapons i have 3 inventions that i currently lack the resources to persue. When the construction industry comes back i should be able to market all three.

Honestly though, does it really matter if someone has a polyscience degree and pours concrete for a living? They still might know more about some aspects of the products I develop than I do if it is their passion. Profession or education doesn't always align with what someone really lives for.

That said, I think you can usually figure out who is full of it in the high drama forums.

Oh yea I know...I know you don´t have to be a doctor to have an informed opinion on stem cell research...I was more interested in knowing if we actually DO have people that make a living or have a career related to the topics we cover in that High Drama forums.

Well shit i could have answered that for you. No very seldom does someone in that section actually work in the field and even when they do they're wrong.

lol....yea, they´re always wrong if they don´t agree with you deathgod...and even then...they´re not as right as you are...ever.

Yea, really interesting...got a lot of capable kids around here...shit...if we invested our time together, as a group, working towards a specific goal....I think we could do a lot of crazy shit and make a lot of $$$$ in the process.

Sorry...my goal (dream) is to be a venture capitalist...I´m always looking for stuff like this...capable, educated, hardworking people with good ideas and little money.
