    What branch did he study? What does a masters provide above what he has already gotten?
    Mechanical. The Masters will be mechanical as well with a lean towards aeronautics.

    does the masters change what he can work on or more just where he can work?

    i dont know how all this school stuff works. my meeting in high school was all of 5 mons long before she determined collage/ university wasnt for me. she said "find a trade or factory, have a good day."

    College and university are shilled as the only route to adulthood. A good many just go for "the college experience" of dorms, parties and debauchery. That makes for a highly qualified barista. STEM fields are the exception. Course that requires hard work and results in providing valuable skills and services to society are more often skipped for easy liberal arts degrees that do a good job of racking up debt.

    Trades are looked down upon, and the "any degree is a good degree" mantra does a good job of keeping the bloated, top heavy university administrators employed. With fewer going into the trades, basic supply and demand will have their earning power increase. If I were doing it again, I'd research the top paying trades, pick up that skill and then combine that with going into business.

    My recent water heater installer was making a killing with danger of job loss. A portable skill that enables you to live where ever strikes your fancy or to be able to escape high taxes and mandates.

    The Master's degree builds on the knowledge learned during undergraduate studies, usually with a tilt to a specialized field. In my nephew's case, he wants to study aeronautical engineering. Think of it kind of like a doctor getting their MD then going on to specialize in cardiology (I know it's not exactly the same, but I think you get my drift).

    LOL - yes, at times it was hard to resist the urge to nod off for just a couple minutes.

    Scrap prices are up. Highest I’ve ever seen them.

    Cleared $200 bucks last week for a half load of scrap appliances. That’s “shred” or “white goods” which is the lowest they pay out for.

    Don’t leave anything metal outside and watch your cats. The Thieves are looking to cash in
