(+) Yeah! (+)

TC didn't even question me...

honestly your posts just confuse me at this point

but engineering work is extremely easy, i honestly don't think you even need a degree to do it (but you do)

but yeah the college classes are hard

what makes you think you can't do that as an engineer? i've spent entire work days watching netflix

You stop getting xp at 25 so it's pointless until I finish his promotion.

Is it 2011 in here?

i wish, that was a good year

I took intro to engineering in hs to get out of art class and I barely passed it. I did alright in the copy this in inventor part of the class but struggled with the rest.

what is inventor? try a type of engineering that doesn't require coding. i did it minimally in college and 0% of the time at work now

It's a software program where you create something and render it in 3D.

This was almost 20 years ago so who knowns if it's still used today or if there's something better.

i'm like 80% microsoft word/excel, 10% simulations and 10% misc

How is doctor or lawyer pointless?

too much schooling, too stressful, too many hours, too much workload

I mean my answer to that is: the engineering job you do is not the engineering job all engineers have to do

Tbh my posts confuse me too

easy enough to find a comparable job i'd think

Come to Toronto when this is all over -_-

Was doing Aerospace Engineering

6 months in I was becoming physically and mentally tired from my commute every day until i realised there's no way i could keep this up for 4 years
After 13 years of school, i was completely done being cooped up in a classroom all day, i needed a more practical/theoretical balance

On top of that, some classes being the most utterly mundane garbage imaginable but were mandatory to pass for future subjects. Said classes had little relevance to what i wanted to do. These subjects were the non math/science classes

One class was some shitty HR/Customer compliance class or whatever the fuck it was called, total waste of time. Writing some fake scenarios on how you would present or deal a client. Total white collar wank fest

One class was some shitty plan interpretation/hand drawing class that was the biggest waste of time, partly because you had to be a special kind of person in an engineering class to not be able to understand a plan. Not only that you had to make an orthographic drawing of some stupid shape's.
The worst thing about this wasn't what you had to draw, it was that it was once a week for less than an hour. Something that would take a couple of hours at best was stretched out to months to justify the curriculum

This last class, was one of the only classes that i cared about that wasn't a maths/science class. It was an aircraft parts class, can't remember what it was called, pretty much learnt about the parts of an aircraft and whatnot
But the problem with this class was that it was off campus, at a small airport hangar hours away from the actual university. This utterly burnt me out going to this class because i didn't have a car at the time

It was all these factors that just completely burnt me out
It wasn't even hard, granted it was first year entry level garbage and i didn't enjoy the maths/science/material classes. It was all the other garbage that annoyed me.

Totally get caught up whenever i think about this, didn;t mean to make a srs bsns post

Not interested enough.

Or smart enough tbh.

i am, i suck at it

I am an engineer, taking my test for my Professional Engineering exam for certification later this year. I work in HVAC design, it is not sexy but will always exist.

It's interesting to me but to go down that path you better really, REALLY like math.

I lost interest in engineering in my 2nd year

That would be me.

The hat doesn't look good on me.

Because I still have one more exam left, in exactly a week from today
