Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (EIT) / Value of EIT certificate

« on: November 17, 2009, 05:02:07 PM »

I passed my Fundamentals of Engineering exam in April 1981 and received my certificate from the State of Indiana.  Not once in the past 28 years has any interviewer brought up or said anything about this.  The real value of it is to the person who passes the exam, as a matter of pride and achievement, but in no way will it affect or influence your ability to get a job.   All it proves is that you can pass a fundamentals of engineering exam at that time, and nothing else.

General Discussions / Recessions

« on: November 14, 2009, 09:57:39 PM »

Most people already know that the current downturn is the worst since the Great Depression.  However, it should be noted that every recession since the 1970s has been progressively worse than the one before it, leading to the conclusion that we are eventually going into a Greatest Depression sometime in the future.  No one can tell precisely when that will happen, but if recent history is a guide, probably within the next 12-15 years.  Be prepared now.  Be able to grow your own food if needed.  Anyone who says a Depression is impossible has been deceived by the corporate media which is feeding us a placebo to make us think everything will turn out OK.  Don't believe everything printed in a newspaper.  Most are controlled by conglomerates headed by people who are friends of the Washington Establishment.
