Help On School Project


Hi my name is Brian Snapp. I am curently attending school. In my math class my teacher assigned us a project. My project requires me to interview someone who has a career involving math. I couldn't think of a better place to find someone who is as good at math as this contractor forum. If you are willing to answer some questions for me about your career over an email I would greatly appreciate it. If you can help me please email me at kywe665@yahoo.com. Thank you for all of your help.

Re: Help On School Project


A lot of us could answer your questions from several perspectives and coming from several specialties of the construction industry. But I think many of us, myself included, would rather do it here on the public forum, so many can benefit from it.

I agree with you right to the T if this is a school test.

Re: Help On School Project


TEST??

I HATE tests...I hated my own tests...I don't wanna do someone elses.

just kidding..

But really though, I can't speak for anyone else on this one, but being a school project, I don't mind HELPING you to do it YOURSELF in any way I can, but I don't think we would be doing you any favors by basically doing it for you.

Not that I'm assuming that's what you want, just making an observation.
