Yes it has been a long road, but finally I am graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering!

Mind you its 37 degrees outside (98.6 in Fahrenheit), and I will be wearing a heavy black cloak, and black pants with a shirt and tie, in the middle of a football field (Telstra Dome) and I have to sit through 5000 students graduating from RMIT.

So expect pictures of me looking exhausted on A&P Forum soon!

Congratulations on your big day, Stef.

Treasure these moments; someday you will be rummaging through a closet in search of your kid's winter boots and your carefree youth will be a very distant memory (I know it doesn't seem carefree when you're living it, but trust me, it is).

Congratulations. I can't wait till I'm there in a few years.

Congrats and start working on the plan for a Death Star.

Now that is freaking me out, because here I was thinking (back when I was doing my thesis) that I wish I was back at highschool again when everything was easy!

Are you doing Eng as well Joe? Which university?

All in good time, my friend, all in good time. Interestingly I am trying to get a job with an engine manufacturer, especially those trying to get a scram jet working. In fact that is my goal, be there when the first Single Stage to Orbit vehicle takes off.

After that, we are half way to anywhere in our solar system!

Ah, engineering; the subject in which highly educated and astute individuals toil endlessly in extremely complex fields for 60,000 a year while watching C- liberal arts majors cut multimillion dollar book deals.

Congratulations and welcome to the club

You mean those precious, lucky few who do not end up serving me at tables or attending to my shopping bag?

Hehe, arts student's; Would you like fries with that?

Interestingly enough, I've heard D students make the same argument in defense of skipping classes to hone their basketball skills.

Congratulations .

98? Ugh sounds like my graduation day...just doesn't sound like you have the humidity.

Lucky bastard...so what's your plans now?

Vacation?

Job hunting?

Going back to school, for a Master's and youre nuts?

*sigh* Another engineer? How many of those are there here again?

*checks current major: Engineering (Unspecified)*

Damn it.

Extended Vacation in Australia / while my lecturer tries and finds me a position in Germany, at which point I will go on a 2 week vacation to Greece, to see all of my relatives, prior to commencing work.

Well that is the only 'plan' in action at the moment, but I think that I should also shop around for things closer to home, just in case.

Maybe we should have a private club. The men/women ratio is already correct. Just think, we could have entire threads solely dedicated to fuzzy logic!

COME TO MÜNCHEN!

I think you already took a position that he was trying to fill!

I am just trying to get my foot through the door at the moment, there are people in my course who just make me look like a dumb-ass, and they are having hissy-fits if they don't get what they want, I just want to get over there, find a suitable job, do it well, and then decided from there.

Others expect their road to be laid out for them 100% before they get there, which is a bit un-relisitic.

Oh Olrik, are you at Astrium?

Crown wrote: Oh Olrik, are you at Astrium?

No, at the Siemens research center. My contract starts January 15. I'm going to move about a week earlier.

Aerospace Engineering? Fucking congrads and a half!





Um, I heard this weird whining whop whop whop whop sound from the compressor section of my left engine today. You wouldn't happen to know what that is would you?

Congratulations. I'm counting the days until I have my AE degree.

Ahh, that's right, I thik I have a friend or two that is goint to Siemens, but I think that they are going to Bremen, and not Munich.

What makes you think they actually teach us stuff worth knowing? Acutally we all came to the conclusion that we got taught how to learn stuff on our own.

Best of luck to you, take my advice and enter an AIAA design competition, if you get in the top 3, recognition is a good thing!

Congrats Crown. Now, you will be able to respond to those who doubt you like this:
