> But “just the skill without an associated degree” means this is a slog
Deeply intimate with this one. I live in an area completely dependent on defense contracting. I dropped out of my degree program years ago, but have an aerospace engineer friend who I handle software for if a project requires it.
Had the experience of running some flight tests this summer; the dinner conversation with the outside client, other consultants about who I am and what I do is soul crushing. Yeah, I took a week off my landscaping job to do this, will go right back to working it when your project is done.
