In engineering, when changes are made to a project, they are called revisions. "Rev" for short.

Revision N -> Rev N -> sounds like Revan.

Seriously?

ah. I get it now.

Do you think we're all Engineers?   Thanks for the compliment, but I'm just an Ape with glowing stick...

and I am a slightly smaller ape, with less glowing sticks

It was clever, and with the info It makes sense.   But I'm a simple retail supervisor, the ins and outs of Engineers are not in my wheelhouse Tongue

one of my best friends is a Civil Engineer, generally someone asks what he does his answer is "I draw dirt."

I on the other hand, design life safety systems (Fire Alarms) for commercial buildings...

Gonna be honest, I have noticed a seemingly majority of adult members here have Jobs that are much "higher" in skill, ability and regard that anything I have ever done.

Don't feel bad. My sister is a college drop out, and is making twice what I make with a degree. It's not what you know, it's who.

Very true.  I learned that at my last job when someone I trained got put in a supervisor position over me...because she knew the GM.

I'm still working on my degree but I do make twice as much as my two older sisters who both have degrees.  I did spend 12 years in the military though and I work hard at what I do.

That's great.  When I share my views on success, many automatically assume I discount peoples work.  Far from it.  I just see that some people's hard work pays off more than others.  Like I said I have my theories on that...

I understand, I try to not assume what people say and just ask if I'm not sure what you mean.  It's hard to decipher through plain text alone since tone can change what a person meant.   Agreed, hard work does pay off and knowing people does help in man occasions but going out there and working your butt off pays off in more ways than one.
