    Increasing Education Requirements

    I agree with youngstructural, the inclusion of new education requirements would have absolutely dissuaded me from pursuing an education in engineering. Initially I was very skeptical about going into engineering, I had wanted to be an architect but I didn't have the money to go out of state and...

    meaningless greetings

    "Uh oh, it's a gray area social situation. Do I know this guy well enough to say hi, or just look away?" "So I went with the ambiguous tight-lipped smile that could be confused with a stomach ache." "Your stories suck". - Dilbert, recounting his day to Dogbert

    Is it illegal to steal clients from your current employer?

    Is it illegal to steal clients from your current employer?

    It depends on how it's done. I heard one case where an entire department of consulting engineers uprooted and stole client contact information, worksheets etc. Needless to say they were up to their eyes in lawsuits by the end of the week.
