The MINIMUM requirements if you're hired strictly as human resources (and not as an engineer-hybrid like is popular in the Canadian divisions here) are an MBA or Master's in Human Resources."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Many of them. All the ones I personally have met anyway, but I'm sure some of them are economics people...
They actually pay for engineers to get MBAs if they think they're management material."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Finance? Hmmm.
Human resources?
Marketing?

Of course those specialized departments aren't engineers.Originally posted by notyoueither

I never said otherwise.
Most human resources/management, however, *ARE* engineers with further training. It's how most of the oil companies work.
Apparently they've brought in some "staff groups" which are a bunch of BAs, though. Apparently they won't last for long, all they do is ask questions and try to "keep communication flowing" between all the divisions, but it just slows productivity."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Sorry to spam your intelligent discussion, guys.
Asher, just have a look at the titles of the papers here:
Don't you think that all these subjects are worth pursuing?

Hehe. Marketing and sales... Specialised. Hehe.
I would suggest that any corporation needs those 'specialists' or go the way of the Dodo.
Not to mention Accounting and Finance...(\__/)

Is it just a coincidence that stuff like Electromagnetism are developed under a different field?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I'm not saying there's no place for BAs in companies.
Take careful note, however, they don't hire philosophers.

Having very briefly looked at the Electromagnetism paper, I'm left wondering what the point of it was.
It seems to me to just be telling a story, explaining what it is.
What's useful about it? Can a physicist help me out here?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It is not. Stuff like Electromagnetism just benefit from a philosophical outlook.Originally posted by Asher

And this is a classic example of uselessness in Philosophy: http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/f...Dialethism.pdf"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

How does it benefit from philosophical outlook?
If you REALLY want to help me figure out how useful philosophy is, can someone point me to a Philosophy-CS related connection? Like Agathon was talking about Turing machines and AI...
I'm willing to admit philosophy is useful once someone shows me. And I think the only way for me to know that is to find a connection to my field of study.
So please...anyone feel free...Last edited by Asher; February 26, 2003, 04:46."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
