At 48 Years Old, I just passed the hardest exam I've ever taken!

Congratulations!!! =)

What's your salary? Was all that school worth it?

Congratulations !

Congratulations! It hurt my brain a little just reading that.

You're this smart, yet you choose to hang out here... obviously your sense of humor is as big as your intelligence!

That's what I pay in taxes every two weeks. Not including my wife's salary. Or, our farm or our small business, which are paid quarterly.

So, short answer, yes and no. Hell yes, on the AASs, the Comptias, and the vocational certificates. On the BS, no. I should have just done straight math or engineering. Hell, even history or English.

But the misery of all that pre-med shit, absolutely not! In that aspect, I'm an educated idiot. Of course, shit hits the fan, between that education, critical care paramedic, my WALS (Wilderness Advanced Life Support), and my actual field experience in remote medicine, I'm probably as sharp as any PA or NP. Plus I worked for my wife's old boss, a surgeon, for one year while I was pre-med and I shadowed him and a BC Trauma Surgeon. So, I can suture and do quite a few surgical procedures.

So, in a way, my BS was worth it, kinda---sorta.

There are some damn cool people here! And a lot of smart people too. Don't sell yourself or some of your GLP cohorts short.

There's a lot to be said for common sense and a rebellious mind. It's the outliers and rebels who make history and change the tides.

The one thing I'm sure of about my education is that a large portion of it, about three-quarters of my BS, is useless slavery conditioning.

I've know a lot smart farmers and a lot of really dumb doctors. GLP is one of the best sources of OSINT on planet Earth.

Knowing GLP I figured it would be about passing your prostate exam.

I dont have much formal education, but three months ago I passed the UAV commercial pilots test, at the age of 65. Only 250K + people in the USA have done that. The test was really difficult.

48? You're still in your prime. At 68, life should be easy breezy.

At your age that’s a really impressive accomplishment.
I’ll never forget my flight instructor in high school landing our Cessna C-152 with only the rudder pedals and the trim wheel….

“Now you do it!”

Congrats!!!

exams are for loosers

Thought you were gonna say prostate exam.

What's the name of the exam?

I've been a RF/EE hobbyist for 2+ decades, but I've never seen a formal exam covering those topics.

Congrats on passing!

Congratulations!

Hats off to you ! Sounds like the CA smog check exam 30 years ago, [carburetors, vacuum diagrams from hell, combined with 4 gas analysis ] I failed twice . Mega whore exam we had to take every 2 years. Now F.I. is much easier.

you must have the highest student debt in the entire world.

Toot your own horn much ?

Good for you, but sorry, I do not really care at all about this and posting about it is Juan Star.

That's because you're a dumbass loser. Enjoy your walmart job.

Great Job! Very hard to do for sure!

Congratulations OP.

Technically it could be hard…if you like that sort of thing

Clearly you would know.

You can’t even spell loser.

sounds like a hacker exam.
sounds like you are a game warden.
your saleries kinda low for that skillset.
sounds like you are a bootlicker,odds are you could contract for overseas jungle cia duty.

I want to look like a little forrest elf atm, how.

OP i am the same age as you. These concepts are super easy. wait until you get into lumped RC, impedance, and then electromagnetism.

Wrong shit head, I just dont care so go fk yourself much. Walmart job ?

You must be one of those government sponsored in debt brainwashed edubucated MORANS with NO BRIAN.

Happens to all of us at one point. I took my ITIL exam and barely passed it. but I studied for it on my own.

so tell me, at 52 and having been able to accomplish NOTHING at all, how do i unfuck my life?

i have no dreams, aspirations, plans, goals.
even if i had 150 million, and 150 years to live, i couldn't figure out what the hell to do.
