One of those degrees got me a job.

You shouldn't have gotten the math one, waste of time.

That being said, that's the way engineers look at managers, as generally they want to build something that works and is safe, but all managers care about is getting it done quickly and under budget, which means any micromanaging gets pushed down to the technician to have to deal with... And trying to argue gets you fired.

So true...

But, I am known to blow up at managers... I got fired and sued for unjust laying off... plus I had some very interesting info some inspectors would like to see... we cut a deal, I got my job back plus months of salaries when I wasn't at work and a 15% raise. No manager ever contradicted me after that 😁.

I don't work there though any more, quit after 4 more years.

usually a math degree is like 1 or 2 classes added onto an engineering degree, which is why its not unheard of for engineering majors to also have a mathematics degree

I know, but still, it's a waste of time IMO.

How so?

Doesn't bring anything to the table, it's just a waste of money and time.
