Mechanical Engineering? He's smart beyond my capability. Any idea what he wants to do with that degree? Damn jpg. Don't you know? They engineer mechanicals! And I always thought the barristers were on their feed. Rangerboy, made a little in the markets this week, but made more in the goldies. ;-)

Any idea what he wants to do with that degree? Cactus, he likes design. He's been working for a Fortune 500 company the past year or so part time doing some design work while going to school . In fact, one of their products they sell internationally has one of his mechanisms in it. He built the prototype out in our shop at home. I don't think he had any idea it was that big of a thing until they approached him asking questions and asked him to come to their headquarters and show them how it worked. I tried to get him to get a patent when he first came up with his idea. He started working for them part time right after that and they just offered him a full time engineering job when he graduates in December. RR
