Is this job candidate unqualified for the job?

I think Geotechnical Egnineering is one of the most challenging practices there is. Theory alone gets you nowhere.

 

I understand that and agree to a point. I'm not 100% sure that theory would apply to this particular case.
Anyone know what would be considered real world experience in this case?

 

Balancing a checkbook??

 

Shouldn't it be managing several checkbooks with a cumulative negative balance, yet each is still positive?

 

Well yeah... now that's the way it works.

 

You guys keep yelling about throwing all the incumbents out...here we have someone who appears to me to not be part of the GOBC, and has an understanding of history so hopefully he could help prevent it from repeating itself....and still you complain.

I'm all for giving him a shot.

 

Good point.

 

Umm, Sen. Shelby and Gothic complained. We've just been talking about possible reasons why. You know, peanut gallery. Also, recent history peoves that kicking the GOBC out and replacing them with nothing but academia types does not work.

 

Normally yes but the current administration seems to have a fetish for academics and that has worked poorly. If we were practical application business heavy he might be a great addition but the number of Harvard freaks up there now is just stupid.

 

I agree.

 

Maybe if the guy went to decent college I would support him but he went to MIT and that other shit school.

 

If this was brought up by someone from FOX News this would be a "bold move that bucks the status quo". Instead...you hate the current admin...and look at things from a particularly narrow point of view on regular basis.

 

Yep, you sure do.

What does incumbent politicians have to do with the thread topic?

 

Wasn't that same argument made about a certain current POTUS that is doing a bit less than a bang up job for the country right now?

I am all for getting rid of the existing bunch of thieves and liars (i.e, ALL INCUMBENTS), but please can't we replace them with people that have HELD AN ACTUAL REAL JOB in the workforce at some point in their lives?

And as someone who went and got an MBA in Corporate Finance from a prominent university and then went on to do Corporate Finance in a pretty sizable corporation, I can tell you that the theory has very little to do with the actual application. What you learn in academia is the most basic of applications of financial theory that work perfectly in a perfect universe. What you learn doing the job is all the important stuff that shows you that although you need to understand the theory to apply it, you also need to experience the reality in the working world to see how that theory actually applies.

 

Who would you guys recommend for the job?
Is there someone out there with a proven track record AND the educational experience?

 

Well they went to a prominent university. What more can you ask?

 

Jiggy McStupidhead?

 

He's still wrapping up that law/dental/home economics degree. No time.
