...That's really stupid? You'd want someone qualified to do the job SURELY. God, so few people get to go into schooling as it is in my time, I can't believe they're picky over what sort of schooling you get, too.

[unreachableside]

They want you to have experience despite having just earned your degree. But if you have a degree, you're overqualified for an entrance level job.

It is stupid.

If engineers weren't in high demand right now, I would be unemployed, I'm sure.

[droptheious]

But- but that's a catch 22?! There's literally NO winning. That's SO dumb!!!

Sometimes I really, really don't understand the future. I was the Royal Engineer back home. Like, literally working for the whole kingdom and if someone else could do what I could, I'd take their help in a second. It's so much work!!

[unreachableside]

Being an adult nowadays is just like this.

[AJSKJFJLSJDLFJSLDJFLSDJG]

Royal Engineer? I can't say my job is all that prestigious... I design infrastructure for my day job. It sounds like you got a lot of hands on experience where you're from.

My real passion is crafting, but there isn't much demand for blacksmiths in the twenty first century.

[droptheious]

Great, I already hate it and I'm not even there yet.

[He's still got a few months left! Maybe he can just avoid it forever, he doesn't want this.]

Yeah! I built a running hot water system for the whole Kingdom. I'd just finished up on that before I got dragged into this world. But yeah! I had plenty of hands-on experience. It was pretty much just me and anyone I could get to help...lift stuff.

GOD RIGHT!! [No this is IMPORTANT to him!!] What happened? In my time you couldn't go to a single town without there being a blacksmith or a baker or a cobbler or anything. And they could make you what you wanted, exactly how you wanted it. Now that's all gone and it's like the world gave up artistry and quality for convenience.

[unreachableside]

[... Okay yeah he can see how Varian is the best choice for adding something like electricity or gas to something. Damn.]

You built a running water system-- with heat-- for an entire kingdom? [Ambitious doesn't even begin to cover it.] Wow. You really ought to consider the construction side of engineering if you decide to go to school. It has long hours, but it's way more hands-on than just design.

[Being an adult sucks, but he knows talent when he sees it.]

What happened? Guns and more powerful explosives happened. War became something fought by people in offices behind screens. You're not wrong when you say it's about convenience. Everything is mass-produced and no one wants to wait for anything.

All the more reason to keep doing what we do. Art can't be allowed to die.

[droptheious]

[He sure is a lad with a lot of things under his belt. Not all of them good, but that's the gambit Balde has to roll.]

Sure. I'd started it when I was fourteen. But I finally figured it out when I was sixteen. [Such a LONG period of time, between 14 and 16, wow. ] Oh wow, I didn't realise there were specialisations! I'd definitely prefer something more hands-on!!

Oh. I guess that makes sense. It still sucks, though.

I agree. I think that when people are trying to destroy it, that's when it's needed most.
