I can tell you that when I was about 4 months from graduation (BS
Mechanical Engineering), the Navy and Air Force were going BTTW to
recruit me. I was wined and dined, lodged, toured, and even fixed up
with a couple of attractive female officers. They were all going to
train me to drive ANYTHING that I wanted, from F-16's to submarines
(the coolest tour I got was a fast attack sub).

All this time, I thought it was the Engineering degree. I guess
they'd found out that I had spent 3 years slinging newsprint at 6 am.

It was probably neither of those things, since both are very common.

You are an idiot.
