    Lent

    I give up booze (vacations and special occasions excepted) and one other random thing each year. Last year it was Shaggy, so Easter Day was spent trying to figure out wtf happened over there and where everybody went.
  2. Based on those eyes, that pup might commit murder.
  3. Thanks for all the replies, definitely a lot to consider.
  4. Already identified someone, and fortunately for me they're also UT undergrad. We'll see what happens. PE isn't worth much in aerospace, but point taken. Boeing's education program was gold-plated, and I'm still kicking myself for not pursuing an advanced degree while they were paying (wanted a MS-ASE but never pulled the trigger). Airlines operate on the slimmest of financial margins, and as a result do everything as cheaply as possible...that starts with employee French benefits. Also, basically what Eddie said.
  5. Yep, but don't tell anyone.
  6. I've seriously considered taking the plunge in recent months, but it's obviously a major investment/commitment and I don't have (m)any firsthand resources. My current employer only offers relationships with for-profit institutions, so part-time and 100% out-of-pocket is my likely path forward. But how beneficial is the curriculum, and is it more than a checkbox for advancement? Does it truly open doors, or is my resume just a bit shinier when I'm self-marketing? The McCombs-in-Dallas program seems like a perfect fit, considering schedule, location, prestige, etc...anyone here have experience? I have an Aerospace Engineering degree from UT. I spent eight years doing concept product development and generalist project management with a major OEM, then took a project engineering job with an equally major airline operator when I decided it was time to move home; in hindsight, I should've stayed with the former. Five years and multiple pointless re-orgs later, I'm as senior as I'm going to get without moving into the management ranks...peaking at 34 is depressing as fuck. I'm also not sure I love engineering anymore, so a non-technical degree would theoretically expand my career options. I'm sure there was a thread or two on the scat site, but I figured I might as well restart the discussion here...thanks in advance.
  7. Question...possibly a dumb one, but I haven't been able to Google a definitive answer: for the 401k "you should have X times your salary saved by age whatever" rule of thumb, is that referencing total market value or just the sum of personal/company contributions? If it's the former, I'm good; if the latter, I have some catching up to do.
  8. Bellaire Episcopal to Texas??

  10. They related?
