Dream Jobs of 2004
prostoalex writes "We've read about the worst jobs out there, the most overpaid ones, the worst job postings and the outsourcing tendencies. Can an article on employment in scientific and engineering fields can have a positive outlook? February issue of IEEE Spectrum talks about the dream ('coolest, baddest, hippest, grooviest') jobs, where people have fun and enjoy what they're doing. IEEE publication covered the dream jobs for Electrical Engineering majors only. The linked article is actually a story about 9 different people with 9 different jobs, each leading to a separate article."
if you were capable of finding a mate you would think differently.
The thing that makes America great is our industrious nature. While the lazy Germans are on their six week vacations, we do 25 days more work. We get more done, we buid a better world.
Budweiser is the German name for "Beer from Budweis", which is accurate. In Germany, one of the many beers was beer from Ceske Budejovice, Bohemia, Czech. It was hard to pronounce that, so it got the nickname "Budweis" in Germany. The name the Czech brewery nicknamed itself was actually Budvar.
A German immigrant to America, Adolphus Busch, decided to brew his own beer, which would be made in the style of the Czech beers he remembered from Germany. So he called it "Budweiser", i.e. "beer from Budweis", as the Czechs would never find out. This was fine until Busch tried to export beer to the rest of the world. Busch and Budvar have been in trademark dispute over "Budweiser" ever since. It's a shame, really, because like most American things, Anheuser-Busch's beer is incredibly well marketed, vastly popular, undrinkably bad rubbish. All its merits are in advertising, not quality. Budvar's beer is much better in comparison, although not the best.
Budweiser, the Microsoft of beers!
