Re: Dilbert on Restoring Old Cars (and other garbage)
+1, I'm also an engineer. I've restored old cars, audio equipment, toy trains and even an original civil war cannon.
And I love Dilbert. If an engineer isn't interested in mechanics and things that 'go' he doesn't deserve to own the title. I had a friend tell me that her son was going to school for engineering. I asked 'does he like to take stuff apart and see how it works?' No. He dropped out of engineering and went into criminal justice. I wouldn't hire an engineer if he didn't know which end of a wrench, screw driver or soldering iron to hold.

Re: Dilbert on Restoring Old Cars (and other garbage)
Howard Hughes was one of those kids that had the Knack but Hughes also inherited the
money along with it. When Howard Hughes was 10 years old he took apart a Model T and then re assembled it. At 12 he built the first radio transmitter in Houston Texas. Last edited by FrankWest; 02-18-2016 at 01:22 PM. |

The guy looked like Sargent Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. But he didn't know nothin...This rocket scientist knew physics like a Nobel prize winner. He used to write division memos that nobody could follow..Managers and scientists alike. We talked often and he said, a real scientist/engineer should know how to operate a screw driver as well as differential equations otherwise they are severely handicapped in any technology Enterprise that builds hardware. |
