Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 20, 2014 Super User Posted May 20, 2014 I need to come clean about something. Ya see my online persona differs slightly from the real me. Yes, I do live in the lovely state of Alabama. Yes, I am also a journeyman electrician. However, there is more to the story. I am not lacking a higher education. Here is the bombshell.... I not only graduated from, but also earned my Masters degree from MIT, in nuclear physics. I was in the top three of my class and was granted a full academic scholarship. My honors and awards were/are numerous in both academia and in the field. In closing I would like to say GO Beavers!!! Also, people in Cambridge talk weird as all hell. At least this is what I have my current Forman and two project managers believing as of today. 2 Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 20, 2014 Super User Posted May 20, 2014 And you were getting away with that story? And don't you think you talk weird to a person in Cambridge attending MIT! Alright, I'll come clean, I live 30 miles south of MIT and I can't figure out what they're saying! 2 Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 20, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 20, 2014 And you were getting away with that story? And don't you think you talk weird to a person in Cambridge attending MIT! Alright, I'll come clean, I live 30 miles south of MIT and I can't figure out what they're saying! I speak with a British accent when I'm in Massachusetts. They bought it today. They may try an disprove me tomorrow. Especially after I told the Missouri State grad (one of the project managers) that my acceptance letter was worth ten of his degrees. Good thing I'm good at physics and possess a strong knowledge of electricity. Its all in fun though, its all just playful. I ain't about to start a fight with my contractor on my current job. Yet.

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 20, 2014 Super User Posted May 20, 2014 And they didn't ask why are you pulling wire if you have a masters from MIT? Man you must be good at twisting nuts, both wire and human! LOL How long you think you can keep this one rolling? And BTW, use an irish accent in Boston, you'll blend in better. 1 Quote

Super User South FLA Posted May 20, 2014 Super User Posted May 20, 2014 I figured you'd be working for Westinghouse designing nuclear cores, if you had that degree....or better yet tell them you do this after being laid off from Browns Ferry, after you had it with the TVA and its shenanigans! Say you came down to Florida and considered working for FPL, but that it was too warm and the bass fishing sucked. 1 Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 20, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 20, 2014 Whats your excuse gonna be for why youre an electrician with a degree like that?I was gonna go with the tragic accident excuse. Either that or, I find sitting behind a desk to be insanely boring.However, I'm really liking South FLA's idea as of now. It made me laugh out loud when I read it. Quote

Super User Root beer Posted May 21, 2014 Super User Posted May 21, 2014 Whats your excuse gonna be for why youre an electrician with a degree like that? I imagine something like...."the job market is tough and they didn't like my cockiness, so I had to downgraded to journeyman electricity then ended up liking this better. I'm the jack of all trades b#$%#$" It semi-believable. Edit: Make it sound like you're a real life version of Sheldon Cooper. Employers hated your attitude. That'll work. 1 Quote

The higher, the better. 2 Quote

He has announced he will run for president all ready. Pretty munch every misfit on the forum is part of his cabinet. What else could you want? 1 Quote
macmichael Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 It doesn't matter what you do or where you got your degree. All that matters is that you like to fish, period!!! Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 21, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 21, 2014 Similar to Wisconsin, I believe everyone in Bama is related to each other. That would be Sand Mountain Alabama you are thinking of. My family immigrated here from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey. At least my dad and all my grandparents did. Quote
