We're off to Costco to buy 5 items, and of course will stroll out with a shopping cart groaning with stuff....

Taking kids 2 & 3 for their first day of school this year. Happy that the summer is over and we're back to the routine. 

Is the boy ready for UC?


College students can’t do middle-school math after test-blind admissions: UC Berkeley professor

He got a 5 on his calculus AP test. I think he's good. 

I recall being in Honors Calculus my freshman year.  I had calculus in HS so I figured it would be a breeze.  Oh contraire.  There were some smart kids in that class, the professor wrote in chalk with one hand and then erased with the other.  Our book had naught to do with the class.  I dimly recall something called Green's Theorem we spent time on, learning to differentiate and integrate was ... passe', not much covered.

He should run circles around the competition in that case!

BTW his job for the last two years has been being a math tutor at Mathnasium... 

I mean, the kid is going to UC Berkely for nuclear engineering, because he thinks it's a better path to employment than getting a degree in physics... He can do some math

In my role I have access to a ridiculously powerful analytics platform that I frequently use to aid chairs and faculty in program development and assessment.  Which I will not name here for similar reasons utee and brad won't comment on certain companies/products publicly.  Out of curiosity, I looked up nuclear engineering with a national parameter search.  Granted, some programs may operate under a lesser-used, sneaky CIP code--that does happen--but as far as programs using the standard CIP, there's only 20 schools with nuclear engineering tracks.  UC-Berkeley is 11th by number of completions for 2025, with a whopping 18 graduates last year.  

Not many are pulling that weight.  

I was surprised to see that Texas A&M lead completions last year with 70, far ahead of #2 UTenn-Knoxville with 39.  Just as well....there are currently only 566 annual job openings for the nuclear engineering jobs using the common SOC.  However, as with other engineering programs, the "Architectural and Engineering Managers" occupation is a huge landing spot for those graduates, whatever that is.  Really good median salary for the nuke E's, and significantly more for the Architectural and Engineering Managers (again, whatever that is).  

I narrowed it down to the Cali market just to see what the kid's prospects are and with whom if he wanted/is able to stick around, but, I've now reached the point where I shouldn't say more.  Bright kid with a bright future, I'd say.  

Jimmy Carter did it….
