Good man! That's what matters, for sure.

I see you are EE. Do you happen to also work in power/electrical utilities?

yes, I do work that supports, planning, settlements and market operations, so a lot of everything.

I'm glad I landed with a good company that values actual work and couldn't be happier. Biggest thing is they reward hard work and not certifications or brown nosing.

We've had some underperformers leave because they got those and weren't top tier in performance, thus didn't get the promotions they thought they would.

Good to hear! Is it a coop, consulting, or major utility? Sounds like consulting just based upon what you said. Good companies are hard to find, so good on you for finding one and sticking with it.

I like my current company... but it's a really old demographic (so is the power industry though).
Same with the area I'm in. Very aged population, and that is definitely a turn off for me.

Next time don't fail it OP, it is simple. You saw the questions, next time you will be prepared. I am probably one of the worst students out there, I score 99% on standardized tests but if I don't have interest in the subject I will do minimal work and take the B. Sounds like you did minimal prep work (like me) next time you know what you have to do.

Better luck next time, at least now you know exactly what the experience is and where you're lacking. I'm sure many successful people have failed it, just keeping grinding until you get there.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I tend to do very well on standardized tests, as long as I'm not being a lazy POS. I'm confident I'll kill it next time after I prepare for the afternoon sesh.

On spread with a lot of people here. I appreciate all the support guys.

Reminds me of one of those situations where special ed Timmy says 2 + 2 is potato but his classmates still pat him on the back and tell him he'll know better next time.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.

definitely the same thing. You shouldn't even believe in intelligence as a leftist though. That can guide you to some some uncomfortable truths.

better luck next time OP. I've only heard about the PE and all my friends that took it failed and they are EE's. i know an ME brah that took it and passed, he had months of prep time tho.

I'm taking the FE(2nd time, first after graudating but failed - didnt study) after being out of school for 4 years and I don't even have an engineering job. Trying to get back into the field, dunno if it'll help at this point but might as well try i guess.

Go for it dude! I'm lucky my school made us take the FE senior year, or else I probably would have waited. It will never hurt to have passed it.

our yearly peak is about 2500mw, so its not small but spread out. Its rural customers as im not with one of the big entities. So they have positioned themselves as an adversary, only because we are in the same market. The state and governor of Colorado if fukking us more than any one.

Note to all Corrado residents. If you like low energy bills. Vote red, they haveitera)y fixed all emissions less CO2. But that literally makes plants grow, so plant more trees you idiots.
