    BS Engineering with Law Degree

    that is not what engineers at devon make. that is what the average salaried employee makes. the most common salaried title at the company is engineer. read what you post and dont exaggerate.

    looking for a new car

    i refuse to drive a minivan since we dont have kids yet. i think the 50% is reasonable. even if you count his car's new value, we're still under 50%. there has been a lot of discussion right now about whether to buy new or used. new cars are coming with huge discounts that pretty much remove...

    looking for a new car

    looking for a new car

    i always have used cars and i always have a car payment because they dont last very long. that is without a down payment as we're still paying on my car until we get it sold. it wont be that high forever.

    looking for a new car

    we've tried to buy a murano for a few months but we cant get one. options now are the fx35 or the xc60 but both obviously cost more than the murano. we'd rather not pay more. we dont want to go much smaller than the murano, but another option is the rdx, but that is the very smallest we could...

    How to pass after failing multiple times

    oh sorry- i was thinking we were talking about the pe. let me try again. largo is correct. you have a calculator and your equation book. if you dont know either one by heart, then youre at a disadvantage. you need to know exactly what section to turn to for each equation youre looking for...

    What now?

    never used it. got canned the week i got it, went into project management where i didnt need it and kind of like it over there. it is sometimes a hiring requirement so its nice to have it for that but i doubt that thing will ever see ink.
