Hipsters: Society's Jesters.

How long you been in?

25 years, buster.

You?

I must say it's a great hobby or a great profession for the trust fund baby.

For a guy like me with no financial safety net or family country club ties to find clientele to build buildings... I should've been a radiologist.

I've been in 8 years. Just started taking the exams in March. We'll see what happens.

Good luck. All were a breeze except Structures. With your UK education, that should still be the case.

I was surprised that UK grads had an impressive pass rate on structures. I just took site planning last night. Took me 45 of the 90 minutes to finish the 65 questions (spent the other 45 checking). Spent 1 hour of the 2 hours for the vignettes and the rest checking. I'm still paranoid I failed. I know I missed some, but hopefully I got more right.

Structures was taught by Hans Gesund back in the day at 8:30 on non-studio days... I blew off most of those classes. Paymen Jahed was a way better teacher. Don't know if you had either.

I passed all on first shot but failed Structures 1.

Well- I hope you bang them all out. The pain in the *** is scheduling them. Just do it and hold to the milestone dates regardless of your work deadlines and personal crap like girlfriend stuff & UK games. Get it done.

I started taking my exams about 8 years in as well and young punks passed me by because they got their license... Which is ******** to begin with.

I had Peyman. I came and paid attention. It's been too long for that to matter.

There aren't enough people at my firm for anyone to pass me by.

Although living amongst hipsters is annoying due to their self-absorbed, abrasive and formulaic fashion statements... They're like bees. They sting but their honey is sweet.

Because of hipsters, I can now get artisanal espresso on the streets of Manhattan - better than in any bistro in Italy. Now you can wander into specialty shops and get yourself better pour over coffee, brisket barbecue, microbrewery beer, pies, cookies, vegetables, chocolate, cheese, olive oil...and salt. Yes-salt.

I hope the hipsters take over the American automobile industry so that there'd be a friggin domestic car worth buying.

The problem is having to interact with the fedora-wearing, tattooed, facially-haired douchebaggery.

Ha ha ha!.

Great opportunities exist here in Austin for those folks catering to the hipster crowd. They love their single-speed bicycles. Before hiring on at my present job in 2010, I nearly started up a business importing used bikes (Raleigh, Peugeot, Dawes, etc.) through Felixstowe, England to Houston and reselling 'em here. Container rental fees were not yet too crazy back then. The idea was to work UK and Germany for deals from May - September. It's all about networking.

*Sigh*, what could have been.

Living and working in Cincy after NY is like plying a video game with a Game Genie set to slow-mo.

Life is good and easy, but I enjoyed living in a critical mass of people that had to be somewhat "with it" in order to complete a normal day.

Here, you have to interact with idiots a lot more in daily life.
