So I was just talking to a 5th year Civil engineering student who upon graduation has a job with a state transportation agency as a Grade Specialist. I wonder how Grade is determined so I figured I will finally find out.

I asked how Grade is determined and I get a vague description " its a measure of
rise and or fall". I reply I know what it is but how is it determined? " Well this big machine looks at the ground and it does a bunch of measurements".

Ok but what is the formula to determine the Grade if you don't have the machine? You take a "bunch" of measurements and enter them into a special computer and it will tell you.

No knowledge what so ever of how to determine Grade so solely reliant on the machines. God help us.
In mud engineering we had software that did all of the calculations for us; however, in mud school, we still had to do all of the calculations on paper and in the field if we were in the dog house, the company man would often ask us to calculate the hole volume on the fly with just a calculator and our minds. We had to have the formulas and a lot of the numbers for volume for many of the pipe sizes memorized.

Again with the Millennial crap. Bro I promise you I got the belt more than you did in your entire life. The belt, a 3" wide razor strop, plastic spoons, wooden spoons, switches that I had to cut myself. I'm 42 and considered about the oldest a Millennial could be. If I threw a fit in the store my mom walked off and left me crying. Then I'd get my butt beat when I got home. You don't have the market cornered on getting the shit beat out of you as a child. Millennials grew up basically pre internet, we're not the ipad generation. We got our asses beat. We grew up with our parents or grandparents smoking in the car. We didn't get presents when it was other people's birthday. No participation trophy. We know cursive and can read an analog clock. I get it's a joke, and it's kind of funny, I relate to it but I'm a Millennial. :)

When my brother and I were especially bad, we'd get spanked with a doubled-up cord from our electric griddle. We quickly learned not to cross the line into electric cord territory. My dad would probably be arrested for doing that today.
