[ANNOUNCEMENT] Changing Majors!

[Triggar]

Hi guys.

A lot of you know I wanted to be a commercial airline pilot.

Well, after doing shitloads of toiling, and taking a Space Flight course, I made the decision that commercial aviation isn't what I want to spend my life in. No disrespect for commercial pilots, but I don't want a career that's going to leave me feeling like I'm in a rut. There's no room for creativity or individual thinking, and the whole environment is "my penis is bigger than yours", "NO I HAVE MORE FLIGHT HOURS MY PENIS IS BIGGER THAN YOURS." At least it is here, anyway.

So I talked about career options with my Space Flight professor (http://www.erau.edu/er/faculty/facultypages.html) and after much, much deliberation, I have made a decision.

My new major. (http://www.erau.edu/db/degrees/b-aeroengineering.html)

I am going to change from getting a BS in Aeronautical Science (with an airline pilot concentration) to getting a BS and a Master's in Aerospace Engineering (with a minor in flight and Space Studies).

I've decided that I want to do research and development of space crafts. I think that this is a much, much better career option for me - room for creativity, individual thinking, global cooperation, and the option to play with Space. Leetness.

I'll have to stay in college an extra 3 semesters, but I think it's small change. I'll graduate with a master's in engineering, so it'll be worth it.

I just wanted to share this exciting new development with you lot :)

1337! Go triggar!

[OfaLoaf]

Picard would be proud.

[MattxMosh]

You could be the first woman to "man" and design a commercial flight to space!

[Biohazzard56]

Its funny considering this is what John Carmack does, except for make dissapointing FPSes.

[AztecWarrior]

Great, you're entering a field I'm considering.

Can you say Battlebots In Space?

[Triggar]

No.

[AztecWarrior]

Behold, for I have the power of High School Physics.

[Jennyboo]

Congrats Triggar :)

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Starbum is my hero.

[Strygun]

math sucks.

congratulations!

[Peacemaker]

Good idea trig. I never want to get into airlines. This is my analogy.

If your flying an airliner your a glorified fucking bus driver. Fuck that.

[Triggar]

I hate that bus driver analogy.

ANyone can drive a bus.

Being a pilot isn't just operating an aircraft. Bus drivers don't have to know airspace dimensions and the required equipment for each one. They don't have to know procedures for when the alternator fails - because they can just pull over. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

[Squeeky]

Fuck, there goes my discounts for flying :(

Congratulations. Now build me a fucking pod, WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON BITCHES!!

[starbum]

PSUMZ - Moon Base, Moon

Oy.

[Hydralisk]

Congrats Trig! That sounds like fun!

[AztecWarrior]

Congratulations. Now build me a fucking pod, WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON BITCHES!!
WE LIKE THA MOON

[Phaden]

Very cool. My bro toured that college for Aero Engineering, but it was to expensive for him so hees doin that at Penn State main.

[cyberkiller]

z0mg astronought triggar!

[Infernus]

Good for you Triggar!

Aerospace Engineering is what I intend on taking as well.

Pretty cool!

:love:

WOAH!

Space craft R&D!?! STOP STEALING MY DREAMS!

:love:

Maybe we'll get to work together. Dr Matthew Merritt and Dr. Angela Davis - Designers of the Mars Spacecraft. :rofl:

[Ivan]

Can I be sometime type of test subject?

[DaShiznit]

Its funny considering this is what John Carmack does, except for make dissapointing FPSes.
What the hell are you smo-(I'll stop there to avoid derailing the thead)

Congratz Triggar, can I be your evil henchman, who when you take over the world with your space pod of doom, will run the secret police who crush all those who stand in your way? Pretty please?

[JetRaiden]

Go work for the guys who made SpaceShipOne and make a new party version. Invite us all over for a wet t-shirt contest when its done.
