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

I don’t think you’re really viewed as an engineer proper until you get your PE. Sometimes you’ll be doing design work but often you’ll be picking up the menial work that needs to be done by someone, and you just happen to be the newest

Fellow CE btw

u can’t be a PE unless you’ve worked 4 years under a PE doing ‘engineering work’. In other words, forget about actually getting the jobs, you need a proper job for 4 years to get a proper job. Like, it makes sense, we need training to sign off on damgerous projects and things of enormous importance but nobody told me this shit would be like medical school lol

But software devs writing control software for surgical assistance robots and autonomous vehicles can work at any level of a project straight out of senior year

That’s not true for all fields. For example, PE is useless for aerospace engineering. You can be a chief engineer with a PhD at NASA and there is zero requirement/expectation for you to have a PE. It’s really only for civvies.
