You will probably laugh when you read this

But on November 3rd, I'm going to be giving about a 40-minute presentation to 4th year Apple Math students...

About my career, and how my experiences at Queen's have helped me.

Of course, after you stop laughing, assuming you actually know me beyond a casual level, you will kind of nod knowingly that I will do a decent job of it. Hell, you may not have even laughed (much).

I plan to discuss how as an engineer you have to be more than book smart, or people don't respond to you. In fact, you become one of "those" engineers that every tradesman (err.. tradesperson) hates. And you don't want the boilermaker or pipe fitter or carpenter or sheet metal worker or whomever that actually has to do the work to build your design to hate you.... cuz I promise, they'll do a crappy job, and just blame it on the design. I've seen it done.

My point: Don't be a snobby fucking prick. You're not better than anyone because you have some fancy-ass degree behind you.... never forget that.
