Engineering is a terrible major and makes terrible money and they're all nerds.
There, I said what everyone was thinking.

best thing about an engineer is how many times they tell you theyre an engineer.
NOBODY CARES!!!!!!!
NOBODY CARES!!!!!!!
And no one outside their world knows what they do either. Other than wear denim shirts.
I took a little shot at engineers in my op because I like to rib the engineers around my office every now and then. But I actually like engineers. I generally find them to have a cynical and dry sense of humor. My kind of people!
Sometimes I honestly think people hold lawyers in higher regard than engineers. It might be the most universally despised profession, following politician of course.
Best thing about E-Week is that my company sponsors boondoggles that gets you out of actual work to "promote engineering". Which ends up being a couple guys screwing off for a few hours and getting a shirt out of the deal.
When I was a little kid the old farmers used to say "We got water running up hill today" during any big spring melt. You know when waters running everywhere and everything is a slushy mess. As a little kid I thought it was pretty funny cause these guys didn't joke much.
As an adult non-engineer I made the same comment when everything was a crazy melting mess in St. Paul and got corrected by a hydraulic engineer who got all serious and said "Water doesn't run up hill". He was not deadpanning either.
