      Nah, I hired an electrician to handle all that for me. Now if I want electricity all I have to do is stick a plug in a socket, or flip a switch. It’s way more convenient.

      HAHAHAHA GOOD LUCK! I’m in my final year of my EE study and I cannot wait to escape this mental asylum

        Electrical Engineers are the psychos for using j instead of i. Absolutely bonkers.

          Yeah, I agree. They messed up the scheme we had going. It was a good thing, and electrical engineers had to come and be all different, confusing everyone else along the way.

            From my point of view the mathematicians are evil. I can’t stand them using i in my math classes, messing my whole scheme up. Respect for my physics prof in my first semester for switching to use the correct letter j

              That’s a bit much dude, mathematicians gave us complex numbers. You can’t hate too much on the ones who invented our jobs 🤣

        There is hope for you after the asylum. My daughter has an EE degree. While in school, she would call me every October and tell me how terrible it was and that she wanted to drop out. I would talk her off the ledge, and she got through.

        Now she’s working, making more money than I do in her early twenties, and she loves loves loves her job.

        Keep going!

        Luckily I have 6 years of Electronics manufacturing experience, so the math and theory are the things I’ll need to learn most of. Unfortunately, those things are the hardest part…

      Don’t worry.

      Trig is not hard ☺️

      Compared to what you’re also gonna learn 🤣

    Trigonometry is extremely useful when constructing things. Need to know the length of wood needed to go from corner to corner. That’s trig my friend.

    I use trig every few years when buying a tv. Tv specs always list diagonal but rarely horizontal and vertical which is needed for knowing how a TV will fit in a space.

      I mean unless you’re able to do it in your head in less than a minute, bringing a tape measure would probably be faster and easier.

    When you’re in school you think calculus is the fucking shit, but in the real world you actually use trig way more often.
