Jason,
One of the reasons that degrees are sought after by employers when one
applies is that it shows that the person has the persistence and determination
to finish something and that they are disciplined enough to do so.
There are exceptions to this rule where job experience can overcome the
lack of degrees and in my opinion, these types of people are much more valuable
having first hand "hands on" experience than those who have learned from books
alone. Many employers will say that when they get a graduate they spend several
years training them into a job.
What I have found more specifically, a degreed person reverts to the first
learned principles which may or may not apply in the situation and often
stifles innovation which requires departing from the basics as expressed and or
a very different vantage of the situation. For this reason, many of the best
inventions are those that come out of the garage such as the early emission
system for cars, the aerosol spray can, the personal computer, Apple was
started in garages.
A good example of this is the field of gasification and to create a value
added product requires gas cleaning, and the usual approaches are those that
have been used over and over again such as filters, baghouses, water sprays,
absorbent media that result in systems with high down time or maintenance time
such as one system with 2 hours/day maintenance which is clearly unsuitable for
a commercial in our opinion and Thermogenics could have marketed such a system
years ago, but has a higher set of standards and would not do so.
There are also process controls, material handling, power distribution
architecture, feeding, fully automated engine control system, water treatment
options that are all part of the advances we have made.
Thermogenics is in the process of potentially seeing some significant
investment and will keep her talents in mind.

Greetings Jason.
You have been directly involved in this list for many years now. IMO the wealth
of knowlage you have contributed to the list and it's users should offset your
somewhat OT request. I hope that even this type of " use " is wise and
informative, who knows there might be a reader on this list that needs someone
with her talents.
Your length of service to this list is your legacy.
Cheers,
Greg Manning

Hi all,
I don't know if this is an appropriate way to use the gasification list server,
and if it isn't then I won't be offended to be told so.
I am seeking to help my daughter find professional work now she is finished her
three degrees.
Her degrees are Chemical Engineering, Mathematics in Statistics, and Geology.
The Mathematics is probably her strongest of the three. While I would prefer
she is in New Zealand, she is happy to move anywhere in the world.
It would be great to find her work with someone that can grow her broad based
ability, and help her become a useful professional in bioenergy in some
capacity.
She has been employed with a paint company part time for the last four years,
and they have found her low paid work to make up full time hours while she
finds more challenging work. They will provide references as to her reliability
and diligence, if they are not apparent from here degrees.
Best Regards
