Can she be THAT stupid?

Reminds me of the night I was at a bar with a couple of female friends. I tried explaining to them that to make a profit, buy US dollars when the Canadian dollar is above par, then use those same US dollars to buy Canadian dollars when the Canadian dollar is below par. Net result would be more Canadian dollars than what you originally started with. They absolutely disagreed with me and were convinced it was the other way around now matter how I explained it.

What's wrong with you man?
You missed an opportunity to make some money.
You should have said okay and sell them some US currency.
Setup a meeting and let's get this money making mill on the go.
 
Because anyone can read a book and write a test ,very few can be functionally smart when it comes to the real world and no manual to read. Same reason I won't hire an MBA, most can't think on their own or come up with a new idea. Finance world has switched to hiring actual rocket scientists the last few years, problem solvers not manual readers.

Thats why engineers are good in all sorts of roles, not just engineering.

The trick with them is to find one with more social interaction skills than a potted plant and also isn't an arrogant douchehammer.

As the boss I have to turn them away from those bad traits. You can tell from the first minute you meet them if you can shape them the way you want.

Actually some were pretty good I must admit. I can generally hold a conversation with them & there are things in life they know that I don't.

There's a few I took on rides & they were a natural

My University was known for engineering and everytime I entered that building, it was like a different world in there. People who seemed to have their wardrobe bought by their mom & have no emotions. But I'm sure they can solve an equation before you can blink

...Let me guess, UofT?

One guy in my class showed up EVERY DAY in a sweatsuit (the work-in-your-garage-and-never-wear-outside kind) and sandals with socks.

Seen some interesting examples at Waterloo as well. Laurentian engineers were more down to Earth, but then again, mostly civvies and miners.

I don't think UT is known for engineering, more for medical

They do have a decent engineering program and if you look at the people attending the classes you'd think it's a dungeon

Had a guy like that at Ryerson also...he dropped out from Aero mid way to start his own IT company. Don't know what happened after that, but he was a brilliant guy from what I remember.
 
or any other excuse that stops you doing your job.

What about if I had a sick granny & had to take her to the hospital?

Let me take a guess as to what he will say :)

1. take her on the weekend
2. take her before 8am or after 5pm or during your lunch period
3. he will send a cab to take her and bring her back (cheaper for him and a tax write off). Hope you ain't lying
4. use your vacation time
5. he takes you to the basement and yells at you until you cry

This is a very accurate assessment.

My observations as to these prevailing attitudes is most of these guys have never been in a fight or confrontation for try to belittle another guy. They keep getting away on picking on "dumber" ppl or talking down to ppl. One good slap or someone bracing them up against the wall and looking dead in the eyes whilst telling them to go ahead and say it again:lmao:

The new crop of Doctors are turning out to be the same.
