I picked the one engineering discipline most useful to society and not dedicated to the sole purpose of treat making……
I WAS TOLD I’D BE A FUCKING BEAVER BUILDING DAMS BUT I’M MORE LIKE A FUCKING BUREAUCRAT EDITING WORD DOCUMENTS FOR TYPOS WHAT THE FUCK
EVERYWHERE I GO, ITS A BULLSHIT JOB. ENGINEERING IS THE MOST USELESS LIB INCREMENTALIST BULLSHIT OUT THERE.
KILL EVERYONE WHO SAYS ‘YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN USEFUL DEGREE IF U WANTED MEANINGFUL WORK AND HIGH PAY.’
PROGRAMMING GATCHA GAMES IS NOT USEFUL U FUCKING NERD
Lmao yeah
ChemE, working in construction, and like, even though my work results in actual stuff getting built, it feels like its 90% paperwork. Invoices, purchase orders, payroll, quibling over contracts and payment, trying not to sign anything describing scope outside of how I priced the scope, etc, etc, etc
Real struggle not feeling like even ‘’‘‘real’’‘’ trades aren’t mostly capitalist filler most days
did recently catch a bullshit building owner pushing us to break building codes and accept switchgear that’d be a bomb though, so that’s cool. Like, it’d legally be bad for us if it did kill someone, so even CHUD’s should have been motivated to say ‘fuck no’, but it’s still nice to be able to say ‘WTF, no; we need to delay this job and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars getting better gear so we’re not accessories to fucking murder’. Fun part is is saying that should be the actual EE’s job, but they signed off on it (like morons), so I got to be the one to say it, which like, getting to flip out on people when you’re legally and morally justified in doing so is a pretty good high
