Bigger threat to Florida than a Category 5 Hurricane

Sorry.  My masters degree with 3.5 GPA doesn't understand what you mean.

In my experience, a college degree is pretty much useless in most cases.  In my specific field I've had to teach Electrical Engineering graduates the basics of how electricity works and how to hook up some batteries.  I've also had to explain the process of how a renewable energy source works and how to connect it.  I have also had to show some Computer Science graduates how to properly write and compile computer programs in various languages for various platforms.  Most were pretty lost without their Windows or Mac computers/operating systems.

I don't have a degree, yet I hold and have held the title of "Engineer" for the last 18 years of my career.  I also happen to be the lead at my job and make a very nice salary (over 6 figures).

LOL I guess they didn't tell me that on career day.  Point is, there were many reasons why I didn't ever consider becoming an MD.  The length of time in school and the need to get nearly straight-A's were just two of them.  Needing to get straight-A's didn't scare me so much, I knew I could do it if I worked super hard, but I was always a "relax and take the B" kind of guy.  I worked just as hard as I needed to to get the B.

It sounds to me like the screening process worked in your case.  I want a doctor treating me or any of my family members to be a doctor because they were committed to putting in the time and effort.  I certainly wouldn't want my doctor to "relax and work just as much as needed to give a B kind of effort".

Getting back to the topic of this thread.  My biggest fear is that Gillum might actually win this election, at least if you believe the polling.  I'm not an "early voter" and plan on casting my vote tomorrow sometime.  I'm not a real big fan of DeSantis, and it's almost like this last presidential election.  I'll vote for him over the socialist alternative.

As far as the proposed amendments on the ballot, I am only voting "yes" on 1, 2 and 5.  Every other one gets a "no" vote from me.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
