Years ago I was talking to a fellow coop student who is Chinese. He said when they walk into a freshman engineering class and it's all white americans they know they've got it made. Then he said when they walk into a senior engineering class and it's all white americans they drop the class. He said the Chinese have a better study ethic than the Americans so they'll get the better grades, but at the senior level the Americans study and they're smarter. Just repeating what he said.

I keep thinking about changing jobs, either going back to school for a JD which is very unlikely or becoming a manager. I got an offer the other day for 50% more than my current salary to manage a machine shop. Then I think about my job: six figures to work about 40 hours a week with no one to supervise and I realize I'm content where I am.
