Something Useful With My Time

I've spent over 480 hrs becoming a decent MW2 player. So, I've decided that until I spend 240 hrs developing any useful skill, I won't play MW2... Counter begins today.

Maybe 240 is too much for one skill, I'll see if I can spread it among various skills. Also, note I said develop and not learn. I'm aiming at getting better at something I already know, but I won't give up the opportunity to learn something new.

Computer languages are an easy start. Lots of tutorials and support on the WWW. I'll develop my Java first and try to take me above the intermediate level. Then I think I'll develop scripting or get into CCNA Self-Study towards possible certification. I'll throw in some FPGA programming and hopefully I won't forget how to get your flag, knife you before capturing my flag and return my flag in less than a second.

My MW2 Feats

Anti air support

• kill harrier and pavelow with one missile
• kill harrier and chopper gunner with one missile
• kill two harriers with one missile

Search & destroy

• first blood with at4-hs
  
• first blood triple kill with at4-hs
  

Capture the flag

• captured flag over 10 times in a match (balanced teams)
• return flag right after knifing flag carrier right after getting enemy flag (or get flag, knife enemy with flag and return flg in less than a second)
• best accolades in one match (double threat, most flags captured, most flags returned)

Sabotage

• best accolades in one match (most bombs planted, most bombs defused)

Demolition

• best accolades in one match (most targets destroyed, most bombs planted, most bombs defused)

Los ingenieros no cabemos en Puerto Rico

Sí debe haber una forma de filtrar aun mas el talento. Subir requisitos, bajar cupo en instituciones educacionales, sacar mediocres de la industria, etc... Otra opción es irnos donde nuestra oferta haga juego con la demanda... Aunque sea fuera de la isla.

Sería ideal ayudar a PR echar pa'lante como ingeniero, pero este revolú es parte de tener la libertad de esoger lo que queremos estudiar. Hay paises donde solo se gradúa lo que la sociedad necesite. Haces algo que no te gusta necesariamente, pero todos van pa'lante siempre...

Pienso que las reglas de oferta y demanda aplican a las profesiones. Mucha oferta con poca demanda, baja el precio del producto, o el sueldo del profesional. Para mantener el precio del producto hay que ofrecerlo donde 'haga falta' o producir menos.
