Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

You bypass/skip/ignore the 20 studies that say you're wrong so that you can cite the 2 that agree with you.  Again, stop it.

The review I posted examined a lot of those studies and found them inconclusive. 

Again, You stop first. 

You're not, or you are?

Yes, I've had people quit and try to collect. They lost.

Even if 3.5 million more went on unemployment, that's not even 10% of the 40+ million that lost their jobs March-May.

This thing sucks all around.  People are going to continue to be unemployed as long as various businesses are deemed unsafe, either by the government or by the free market.

My wife was laid off for 2 months, and is back at reduced pay right now.  She is a manual physical therapist, hands-on with every patient.  8 patients per day, 5 days per week, easily within a foot of other people's noses and mouths during their time together.  She's not the only one in the clinic, they have 6 therapists on staff, so there are 12 people in the same room at any given time, all day, every day.  Her risks are certainly as great as any teacher's risk, and her only other choice is to not do it, and lose her job.  She's not a "frontline" worker in a hospital ICU or ER, she didn't "choose" to put herself at risk or in the line of fire-- she's a physical therapist at an outpatient orthopedics office in an office building that also houses a dentist, an orthodontist, and not one but TWO title companies for some reason.

Scores of millions of people in this country are in the same situation.  This is not unique.

Yup, most engineers think they know everything.

And, some of us DO!

Life would be a lot more simple if I was "just" an engineer. Engineering education gives you nothing about actually running a business. Of course, neither does an MBA.

I already knew everything well before I got my engineering degree, OR my MBA.  #blessed

I started an MBA program, and after about 4 courses I said "WTF am I doing" and pulled out. I wasn't learning anything I couldn't learn by self-teaching. It was silly. Nothing I learned there helped me at all in my 20 years of running a company. Nada.

Online learning was poor in the spring because it was a sudden, unplanned switch.  It should be better in the fall and going forward.  If you find it's exactly the same as the spring, your school district sucks.

I expect it will be better than it was for two of the kids... The ones without severe autism. Still not as good as in-person, but better than the spring.

For the third, who does have severe autism, he's basically forfeiting an entire year of development with distance learning. The little bit he had in the spring wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been sitting right next to him in front of the computer. Even then there was no engagement. 

If I could somehow get the school district to at LEAST allow special ed students who need the additional support to be in-person, it would make a huge difference. 

 

It sure won't be a closed minded, left wing activist that will change my mind. Again, I have read/listened to arguments from all sides and what I have seen to date tells me that the whole mask thing is mostly bullshit. Again, if you don't agree, so be it. You do you and I'll do me.

What about me? Or utee? Or Cincy? Or Badge, who supports masks.

What will make you change your mind? 

I have no desire to obtain an MBA. My career arc for much of the first decade was at small companies where I (as a field applications engineer) basically was the "glue guy" of the team... As a result, I got to see how things REALLY worked across multiple domains of the business. 

My company later put me up for a management program offered by UCI, kind of a micro-MBA for engineers. I went into it and came out of it thinking I already knew basically all the stuff they covered, with the exception of some of the more arcane financial stuff. But I realized I was already multi-disciplinary. 

MBA would certainly look nice on my resume, but at this point I'm specialized enough in my career that I doubt it would do much unless I want to pivot out of the role I was born for, which somehow I was lucky enough to find.
