>>736650741
The question is why you think 50k is impressive. Im a junior software engineer. I sit in an air condotioned cube getting paid 80k a year, full health/dental, 3 weeks vacation, 10 days sick time, a 401 (k) woth a 5% match, and i literally graduated school less than 6 months ago.

I'm a 27 year old Building Engineer making $58k a year without having any sort of Degree. I made the decision when I was 23 and had washed up in my first career that I wanted to enter the trades, set a marginal amount of my brain power to it, and worked the bare minimum amount necessary to impress my bosses at least once per week at a staff meeting or someshit. There are plenty of other people my age (obviously) doing a lot better than me even...So the question is, why haven't I become an hero?

>>736650741
You know OP, you really set a hostile tone for this thread.

You're edginess is going to lead to everyone coming in here just to shit on you, and then someone else will shit on them. You've created a literal shit post.

>>736652409
the reason I posted is because he asked why.

no one is better than any other person. especially not simply for the words that come out of their mouth

I make 65K a year as a database analyst, no degree. In two years I'll be making 90k. Get on my level faggot.

Good start.
I can electrically install and program automated equipment. I can design, manufacture/fabricate all parts needed mechanically, install them, commission the assembly, and troubleshoot problems.... this after 20yrs of trade experience.

I have a Wife and a 10 month old son and we recently purchased 3 acres of land and a House. Currently we are working on increasing our ability to generate our own food. Getting into farming and raising chickens and such.

>>736653398
I walk and care for dogs.
I'm an entrepeneur.

and it actually makes more money than you'd expect, because all the people that "need" someone to look after their dog are pretty well off and don't know the value of their money either way.

I never said I didn't have an income. I just enjoy what I'm doing and don't care if this is "it" for me. it allows me time to pursue my real passion for art and music, and I don't have to deal with humans all day.

>>736652540

But being an Engineer requires an Engineering degrees. And as you said, you don't have any kind of degree... Therefore you are not an engineer, you and those indian tech support that call themselves engineers are the same. You set yourself a goal to be an engineer, yet you failed.

Industrial Electrician
Siemens PLC's are good hardware, but the interface blows. After weighing platforms, we're using Rockwell for our upgrade (about $4 million project, or so). They have their issues too, but they're easier issues.

You have the skills, now find the job that pays you for them. Or not. If you enjoy where you work, that's worth a lot too. I could be making ~250k in power generation. I choose to have low stress and cool shit to play with.

merely credibility and the ability to prove your "education"

it's funny, because you're right, and this has been the truth for as long as computers have been around, because colleges have been lagging in the industry. vocational schools and self-taught seem to be much more efficient, given that people want experience more than a fancy degree.

>>736655114

True, keep reaching for that top rung.

Jump on every opportunity and don't be afraid to fuck people over for the better deal. Don't make coworkers in to friends, friends are for outside of work. If they become your friends you'll hesitate when its time to jump. You miss that jump, and that opportunity could be lost forever.

Trump here. President of The United States of America. $1 per year. Still worth more than everyone in this thread combined.

I am scared of money.

Not in the meme sense of muh capitalism is bad but I grew up in relatively poor conditions, but I was happy because I had my sisters, my mom and dad and we were all really close.

When my dads work place shut down he decided to open his own firm and within a few years we suddenly were very wealthy, and it was awesome, got all the newest phoned, sneakers etc.
However I didnt realize how far I drifted away from my fam and especially my dad, he worked so much that I barely got to see him.

He also had problems showing his affection, I had and still dont have any doubts that he loves me, but he always showed it with money. Did good in school? Have a fifty. Bad day? Have a hundred.

After I moved out I realized how bad it got, we could barely hold a conversation without it getting awkward. What happened to the dad that played soccer with me in the rain? The one that watched cartoons with me all night when I was sick? All this got replaced by money and now its all we have we can share.

Money does not make you happy, a fullfilling job might of course bring you joy, but money has no real value when it comes down to it. The shiny Mercedez is gonna get boring in a month, that rolex will be out of your mind within an hour. I cant remember the last time I got something that I still am even slightly excited about.

I wonder how many rich people die with extreme regrets in regards to their priorities in live (generalization I know)

I am just a nofun NEET, who knows.

I had the exact same experience except my dad was a loser who worked in manufacturing because he was too much of a pussy to do anything with his degree. He retired too early and is struggling af with the mortgage for his houses he own. We don;t talk anymore because I cannot financially help him with money so shit gets awkward fast. Haven't talked to him in like a year and a half and I live with him....

Shit sucks man, I bet your debt from school is heavy if you got a loan. What skills or certifications do you have other than your Degree?

I don't think I am either but I don't go around acting grandiose over making an amount of money pretty much anyone could make or more working in a manual labor/union trade job. I bet by 40 you'll be buried in debt and ready to blow your head off because you'll fuck some hoes thinking your a baller and the money grubbing sluts will shit out your spawns and atop of funding their child support every month you'll be having to work a dead end job just to stay above water because you've blown all your money trying to keep up with the Joneses you self-identity joke.

>>736661163
what is the typical mechanism for correcting / controlling errors via programming?

>>736660790
Yes, I am an internal ISO Auditor for my Company. I am very familiar with ISO:9001:2008 and am currently working on helping my company transition to the newly released revision of the standard.

We have some large Finnish generators at work that are Seimens controlled. Completely programmed in function block and a royal pain in the ass.

i take home around $1500 a week and dropped out in 9th grade.. i do plan on going back to school eventually.. i work as a pipe fitter at a shipyard.. my best Friend never went to college and he is an IT infrastructure manager for kohls and makes about 86k

Controls Engineers design/program/commission Machines or Systems using a Combination of multiple engineering principles. I work with and do design for Electrical Panels, Distributed I/O systems and Fluid Power Controls

>thinking I need to prove anything to peasants

>>736661303
I'm not sure what you're asking, controlling for error states is central to how the machine operates. Usually you monitor shitloads of I/O and get creative on how you build the program.

Are you asking about the programming languages or the structure of the code?

>>736661303

Identify what isn't doing what you want it to do.
Figure out why.
Figure what needs to be done to make it do what you want it to do.
Make it do what you want it to do.

...in a nutshell

>>736661481
FBD is a pain if the programmer who made the FBDs did a poor job. I was so happy when I learned how to open and modify fucked up FBs I got from our German Sister company, before i knew how to do that I was basically just stuck with what I was given.

>>736661481
OOOOOO those can suck nuts! It's great for basic shit but if it's not documented correctly you usually get fucked.

>>736661450
What does your shop do?

>>736662106
machine shop. The standard is confusing as fuck and since it leaves a lot to be created for specific circumstances I always question if I am doing it correctly.

>>736659570
i can do 10 push ups but cannot run a mile. i have no endurance or stamina.

in fact i think the reason i can do a sizeable number of push up/pull ups is solely because i weigh so little.

>>736661929
>>736661871
like what's an example of the way to correct errors? like a field example

>>736663029
measure out a mile by your house. walk it. next time, walk it but run some of the time. keep running a little more than walking. won't take long, and you'll be running a mile.

>>736650741
and yet you feel the need to rub your success in the face of all these NEETs. clearly you're compensating for something

>>736663523
>actual physical exertion
fuck that.

i never said that i wanted to be able to run a mile, i just said i couldnt.

get real shithead, being physically fit has not been a requirement for 'winning' life for nearly 60 years.

beautiful post op

>>736652668
You sound an over aggressive retard

>>736663456
Field errors can be literally anything. Program related, bad sensors, operator error, controls engineering encompasses a wide variety of items. You have to be more specific.

>>736652496

Fail at life because unwilling to do a little bit of work to attain a goal.

I wouldn't hire your lazy ass either.

>>736664382
what you fail to realize is that being physically fit is not a goal of mine, thus i have no inclination to expend effort towards it

>>736663456
>>736664213

>You have to be more specific

No. He doesn't. He just needs to go and learn how to do it so he can understand how obtuse his question is.

>>736664047
Couldn't do it without you guys <3

>>736664452

You miss the point entirely.

You might figure it out one day.

>>736664700
Correcting Errors in a Control System isn't a straight forward thing, its hard to answer his question because there are so many different types of errors and different causes. Controls Engineers that are working to Debug/Commission a system are like Mechatronic detectives. We use Deductive logic to try and resolve a specific issue using different tools, ranging from our Programming Device we use to connect to PLCs to using a Multimeter and a drawing set we drafted to figure why a Contactor isn't coming in when the PLC output to do so is turned on.

People like you make my job a living hell. Half the machines that come from engineering firms like yours are pieces of shit. I have to rewrite ladder diagrams and improve your circuits more than I should have to.

>>736666597
But that, my dear friend, is why we get paid the big bucks.

Good for you anon.
Better not lose that job, or you'll join the ranks of us who've been where you are and never had another opportunity like that again. Save your money. You have the rest of your life to waste away.

>>736666597
I believe it 100%. There are a fuckton of OEMs that ship their equipment all fucked up or half done/half assed and are near impossible to get back into the field to fix their shit without getting a Purchase order from your company, while it should be under warranty. I'm experienced enough and understand our systems and PLCs very well, so I don't leave a customer with shit that doesn't preform as desired and is rigid. Trust me though, i know where you are coming from, there are a lot of programmers who are barely even able to use an Excel spreadsheet programming million dollar machines, it blows me away. Keep fighting the good fight brother.

>>736650741
I thought this was a sob story until I realized you were bragging about being stupid and poor. 53k is peanuts you sad fucking loser. What a shitty goal you set for yourself as a kid.

>industrial maintenance job
>like it'ts sitll the 1800s

Gay. You will neither make any world-changing discoveries, nor improve the lives of people who need it the most, nor contribute a net reduction in the total amount of suffering in the world. When you die, you will not be remembered for your lifes work.

You are a waste of resources. Get a fucking purpose in life that amounts to something you lazy fuck.

>>736651869
Complain to 4chan Admin that you want paid members only with full personal info on all members available.

Retard.

>>736667194
I could drop my job tomorrow and find another that pays more within weeks. Sure I could lose my job, but I'm not going to lose my highly sought after skillset. You can say I got lucky if it makes you feel better. It may be hard for you to believe, but if you set your mind to something, are enthusiastic about it, apply yourself, and maybe make some sacrifices you can build a good foundation that will make scrubs think you only got there by luck.

>>736667707
Altruism is for the fucking weak. I don't derive my worth from how much I can "reduce the amount of suffering in the world. If you think a Controls Engineer is = to an industrial matainence worker it just shows how little you understand what you are talking about.

>>736650741
Mostly because I don't value myself and am just holding myself stable until either my parents die or I can't fucking distract myself anymore and inevitably kill myself.

>>736668457
Well I value you and your comment. Fight the good fight, you glorious Skill-less faggot you. I hope your parents die and you get all of their estate. If you do an hero, do forget to stream it.

>>736668672
Lol estate...
That's a laugh.
Nah. Waiting for them to die so I don't force them to sit through my funeral.

And hell, if you want to buy me a shotgun, I'd livestream it.

>>736650741
I have a bachelor of science in engineering and I find the industry to be full of regulations and a consolidation of power. I'm going with the mail industry now instead. Amazon and others will run shit with the retail apocalypse. I'm looking to make millions, not 80k a year slaving over autocad.

Great, just what we need. We were almost in danger of running out of you.

Yeah, but then the damn state would try and get me for manslaughter or something. You see that shit where a gurl got sentenced for telling her BF to kill himself SMS? What ever happened to the good old days of telling a suicidal person to "do it faggot" with no repercussions? The times are a changin

>be a depressed wagecuck loser

Literally how retarded do you sound "uh I didn't make anything of myself in because uh...the universe is going to end one day uhh" No shit that's the case for everyone. Wouldn't that be more reason to become something? Like did your parents really fail this bad? You'll realize when you're an actual mature adult how big a deal find a useful purpose is to the significance of not just your life but your well being. If anything's going to give you existential angst, it's that.

There's no question about it.

>>736650741
eh im fine with where im at in my life

in my late 20s and have had a lot of different jobs, and ive gotten a lot of licenses and certifications along the way too

im making 16/hr in private security right now while im getting myself through nursing school and i really dont care if i make it or not because theres always something else

didnt have wealthy parents and nobody really cared about education in my family so im doing as well as could be expected paying for my own college tuition, bills, and etc.. i mean, if i had parents that would of paid for my college tuition id probably be a lawyer right now

>>736665440
how much do you make per year?

24, automation programmer, no college, 85k a year....in a flyover state. What the fuck is your point OP....go back to soft keying your piece of shit Mitsubishi VFDs.

>>736650741
Nice OP. Congrats on starting out in your new career. I followed a similar path. I worked as an industrial designer in my teens and twenties, & a design engineer in my early thirties. Then after a couple startups, two losses and a win, I now ride on my IP royalties and employ a small gaggle of 54 key innovators in our industry. I take a salary of $1 annually. Some years, that's all I do take.

I just read the rest of this thread. Unless you fix that attitude, the people around you WILL realize it, and no one will work with you, making you a liability.

Should have probably expected the worst of you to begin with, considering the territory. Good luck figuring it out kid.

>>736650741
All hail the glory of OP's will and hard work.

Since that's all it took for him, clearly if shit does not work out for someone, it's because they did not work hard for it, or lacked... will.

OP, consider hanging your ridiculously naive, ideological lunatic ass with barbed wire. ...strung across a highway. Then at least you'd do something worth remembering.
