I tried The Mythical Man Month but gave up. Found it extremely slow. I don't understand why it gets so many positive reviews.

My lab uses an industrial laser cutter a lot, and perspex fumes stink. We have a large extraction unit to capture the fumes.
Filters only capture a limited range of compounds too. Important to always check whether the filter can handle the material before cutting.
I agree that the examples in the article aren't great. I think "I did a stupid degree and didn't get a job!" is a bit unfair.
In my state-run sixth form college (age 16-18 in the UK) all students were encouraged to go to university. But unfortunately, and I think wrongly, many were encouraged to study subjects which required both exceptional talent and luck to end up working in the field, e.g. music technology, fine art, and photography. Fair enough if they want to do it for personal reasons, but a lot of people were sold university courses (by further and higher ed institutions) as a way into a careers that don't really exist or very few in number.
