Hey mate, just finished my Elec eng degree last year, and starting my grad job next week. Is it really the case where the hardest part is doing uni, not the actual job itself?
Only a fraction of what you learn at uni is ever used and you learn the rest at work.
So bottom line. Next week don't go in like you own the place. You're at the bottom so you need to work your way up all over again!

Where are you working, saber?

Hehe, aint that the truth. I have just reached the stage where my job title has changed to senior engineer, and I have seen plenty of grads come in thinking they are king ****, only to fall splendidly on their faces within 6 months.
arts-based degrees, within reason, you can write any old fluffy stuff mostly and your point of view will be accepted to varying degrees and marked accordingly. but in engineering, unless you can sit down and sweat out how to do differential equations and the various other stuff you need to learn, you will fail. there is no BS-ing your way through that stuff - you can either do it or you can't and it takes hard work to learn it.
Anyone know of any PT jobs that uni students can get relative to engineering?
And no, im not interested in selling my life away to a cadetship.
It's enough to see me get an In charge engineers ticket. That will see me able to atleast pick up en electrical engineers job easy and go in charge to if i want too. Dosnt get much higher than that. Next step is mine manager.:yeah:

Huh, wait untill you have done more than 3 weeks of engineering before you decide you can work part time and juggle your work load. Dont think summer school is full time anyway?
