re: Why does University of Alabama have so many out of state students?

I have literally had a red stone arsenal engineer tell me the biggest decision he has to make every day is what he wants to have for lunch. Just admit defeat. I thought this was a résumé challenge? Here you are piggybacking people you are acquaintances with? The whole point was that you use random hearsay to back your claims and to devalue Alabama's success in various rankings and articles. You cite the opinion of hs guidance counselors and government engineers. I try to explain to you how that's not a valid thing to do, since it is a few people's opinions. I also then explain that even if it were a valid thing, they are opinions from people that I don't value that highly, especially hs guidance counselors. You then attack me personally and say I design lawn mower parts, which is ridiculous. Then, you propose this résumé challenge. After I kick your arse in that, you just spew some more fricking nonsense.

Redstone is one word, like the rocket. I explained to you the reason there are times when they have zero work. The government realizes it takes at least 10 years for an engineer to be worth a damn, so when budgets start shrinking they do not purge the workforce. We would have to depend on snot nose entry level engineers in a crisis if that happened. Again, I have flown over 6 different Military Aircraft over a career that spans over 20 years compared to your entry level CE position. I guess you win.
