I can't believe it. No, it's not the rejection. I was expecting that. I mean, really. But getting dissed over my DEGREE?? Um, excuse me, but I happen to KNOW that more than a few people have been on the shuttle now who had less than a degree in engineering! And to say my MSIS is not an engineering degree??? Umm, OK, maybe it isn't like ME or EE, but puleeze, does ME or EE fit into the 'classic' definition of "engineering"? Before computers there were 2 kinds of engineers: the kind that steered trains and the kind that worked in the engine room of ships. Now, there are all manner of engineers, none of which would fit into the classic definition. "Oh, they have a big math requirement," you say. Well yeah, they do. Guess what though: computer science stems directly from mathematics.

So I am 41 and have bad feet and asthma and get motion sickness. That's fine, diss me for that reason. But to say I don't have the right degree??

This will not stand. They'll be hearing from me about this, this, travesty!
