LastPommerFan Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's a research degree, for those that want to pursue scientific or engineering research professions. If you don't want/need/care to do research, then getting a BS or MS, and getting years of professional experience under your belt outweigh the benefits of the PhD. Engineering research. That's funny.

nobody Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think that's why they hired him. The price was probably right, if you catch my drift. He's on a student visa so it's not a major commitment to get us some extra help. Kept going to school so he didn't have to go back to his country.

woods-racer Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 What was that and why was that guy wearing a sock on his hand? It was a home run. Not sure I'd want the sock man around me let alone a kid, creepy. Who was talking about the 2 guys and a midget in a bear suit? Sock guy may be a continuation of that.

You need to find a new rec league then I only played on the beer/bar league teams, never knew what the recreation was in the rec leagues. Now I know what I've been missing!

josie Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Things that are awesome. Vancouver and the road north to Whistler is awesome. It's twisty and fast and narrow and gorgeous and even in a rented Mazda 3 I was flying around those corners, my friend and I screaming at every new amazing vista. I have never loved a place so much so quickly. Whistler is the fit person Mecca of the world. I have a feeling it's partially the Ironman but it's also just Whistler. However there's a spooky abandoned Disney world feeling in some parts of the village- lots of new builds for lease/empty from the Olympics. Starting my first full day here- I needed to get away and I needed some mountains in my life. If you've never been, go. I keep being reminded of my times in the Alps in Europe.
