In the defense contractor industry, the security clearance alone will get someone looked at and probably the required training needed paid for by the company if a held security clearance is active.
I know EEs are hella smart but I don't know what they do as they can do much of everything. I'm sure it's an EE here that can expand on this.
start next month
Not sure entirely but my recruiter said sometbing along the lines of Hardware -Radio Frequency work. But its a quarterly rotational position so iono

Man EVERYBODY on this page should have a hustle they are turning into a business. Whether selling a product, or service.
On the low our Amazon sales in the last month is about the same as our Ebay, Website and store sales, COMBINED.
Their is always a learning curve but you will be rewarded if you stick with it.

We have but honestly some people do not get that it takes work on their part as well. I drop shipped for a cat on here via ebay successfully for a couple of years. I do now for someone on Amazon as well. I was speaking for our own sales though....
Thx for your reply.
I don't want to come across of a knowitall but I was already aware of that.
I'm just figuring out how to use Powershell on windows and I don't want to learn Python untill I've learned powershell.
But looking on the net I see python mentioned a lot for AWS. SO I wonder how python is used ?
Is it also used to manage infrastructure ?
With python you cannot go wrong and it's something that you should have in your toolkit.
- scripting
- data cleansing e.g. jupyter notebooks
- automation e.g boto for AWS
- data science (very important)
- data visualization https://towardsdatascience.com/introduction-to-data-visualization-in-python-89a54c97fbed

With regards to managing infrastructure using python, Boto can do this but I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience.
Cloud Formation is a way better tool to do this on AWS.
Boto you have more control but also more responsibility e.g. if i spin up an EC2 instance and want to use an elastic ip then you need to ensure the instance is created before the elastic IP is assigned
With Cloud Formation, it takes care of all the dependencies when spinning up infrastructure.
hope this helps

Going to leave this up for a couple of days and move it to the business board.
I never even visit that board.......

I can hold a while longer. But we have too many stickies right now.
Puppet is better for automation but Python is free so it's used instead.
This is what Im most interested in
Best resource next to the software & music thread.

What is arbitrage?
Buying products and reselling on Amazon/Ebay.
I was simply going to unstick it once the replies die down.
I don't know how to answer this. I like teaching people how to do things and answering questions, providing solutions but I don't know how that relates to the skills in this thread when I have no tech skills. I know the basics of using a computer, and that's it. By the time I got one it was win95, so having to know DOS or any programming languages wasn't necessary, everything was point and click. I never did any of the site builder stuff that teaches you how to code and design sites. I never even mastered any of the Photoshop or print master programs to design things either.
Great post
@water Do you have any advice on how to deal with being black in the Tech industry. We know it's dominated by whites, and racism and stereotypes aren't going to go away in our lifetime. How can we use "being black" as leverage? I don't mean working 5x harder because we're black. I mean using the fact that we're black as an advantage somehow. Is it even possible?
1. Actively seek out mentors
2. Actively seeks out sponsors

Black people naturally socialize but we don't talk about business enough at those social events
I host events at my house, have a dozen or so regularly.
They meet others in the circle, get to know what everyone is good at and we build.
Every black person in a high corporate position is 10x better then his/her peers
Think about that............
it means that we can easily put some pieces together and make some shit happen.
have you seen "the Black Godfather" on Netflix?
Thanks. I'll start looking for sponsors as well. I already tried with a black mentor, but he was too busy. Do you recommend just any mentor or someone specifically black? I found some general "find a mentor" websites for Machine Learning. Most everyone in there is white.
The key is to not be explicit in asking/calling them mentors
Just sent a text about stuff asking for their guidance
Some people don't like it to be formal
