@Scott PassmanIf the point is that you don't need to do courses in REI to make money in it, sure.If the point is that college is really not the best place for types that can handle self-education, sure. even Elon Musk has repeatedly gone on the record to insist that he's a better rocket scientist for having two BS degrees in economics and physics and then dropping out of a PhD in energy physics, and a lot of people he's hired agree.But the reality as I saw it in my former profession as a teacher is that most people suck at self-education, suck at a nuts-and-bolts level on the tools of autonomous learning, research and analysis, suck in general at doing anything when someone isn't there holding their hand for them and patting them on the back every day.

As a scientist, I have a healthy dubious relationship with data and all the wrong directions it can send you.

Well bubbles... if you were competing against me.. you would never ever win.You would be going up against a scientist, NASA robotics ninja with publications (= CREDIBILITY), a #-1 ranking website flipped 25937567 houses a month with pictures of progress to show for it.What do you have?

The area around Temple is more affordable than around Penn / Drexel, but the demand around Penn is higher from scientists and other working professionals.

However, if someone chooses to do a title search, it won’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what was done and who did it.

I am sure many engineers, scientists, etc. worked long and hard on this technology to help preserve our freedom from tyrants.

We employ far too many accountants and tax lawyers and far too few engineers and scientists in this country.

The chemicals mix with the water in the Ocean to make Potassium Chloride or something similar(can't remember the scientist jargon they were saying).Anyway when the compounds hit the Ocean they cancel each other out and dispurse.Right now the levels are not ultra dangerous but they have abandoned one reactor because of the levels there.The radiation does pose a risk to the immediate area and surrounding areas depending on which way the wind blows and velocity.What helps is with Cherynoble containment was weak.Today buildings are built stronger making leaks and explosions not travel high into the air.It was the high air travel before that caused wide spread contamination by the winds.The design of todays buildings helps containment.Still dangerous but not approaching Cherynoble proportions.I will pray for them.

What's even worse is those same scientists are now claiming they can't even find the original data.

The foreclosing lender issued a quit claim deed to Freddie Mac, who we were buying from and opps, the rocket scientists they had for lawyers mixed up Grantor and Grantee, so instead of QCD from Lender to Freddie, the QCD read Freddie to Lender.
