My grandfather was a Professor at Columbia in the 50's. He wrote a textbook called The Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Waves. I don't get a single bit of information that is going on inside those covers.

Electromagnetics is a severe ass beating. Especially wave equations.

what time frame are we talkin here? I read on google that in the 80's and 90's it was bad news but not near as bad today.

Roughly 03-05, I don't remember exact dates, he was there just over a year

In his introduction to the book he says it is going to be explained so that a simple layman could understand it. Still didn't help. LOL Wish I would have got to meet him, he died before my parents even met, and they just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

I think very highly educated people tend to lose touch with how much intensive studying they did to get where they are. Once they hit enlightenment on a subject, they can't imagine not understanding the simplicity of the concepts. I bet your grandfather would have been an awesome man to get to know.

I'd go to any country for work in a heartbeat. They going to give you a big bonus for this I would hope?

That's pretty damn cool.

I agree with everything. I bet I could have learned quite a bit from him.

Our company has a plant in Medellin and I have no issues at all going to Colombia. I like the fact that most Americans dont like to go there so it doesnt turn into a tourist trap.

Great Food, Rum and the chicks are amazing.

It's better than having to go to India (which I'll be going to for the second time in November)... I'd much rather go to Colombia, at least there I would be able to understand everyone, and the food would be good.

Stay away from the shady areas, avoid drugs and shady people and hookers/gambling and you will be fine.

[roliath]

Having been there, just be real fucking careful.

I'd really research it first. My company is asking for volunteers to go work in Mexico, Cuba, and UAE overseas.

Make with the details on Cuba and UAE!!!
