I love cars and I'm studying automotive engineering

Don't you think there are people out there who actually enjoy their jobs instead of being miserable every second they spend in it?

I went to school for mechanical engineering, I realized in my second year, the year where you focus on your specific major and take the core classes, that I fucking loved it. I knew without a doubt mechanical engineering was my passion. I felt so fucking accomplished and fulfilled studying that shit and succeeding.

I graduated five years ago, I've been in three jobs, everything you learn in school is thrown into the fucking trash. You're no longer surrounded by hardworking, intelligent peers; you work with ordinary people. The work becomes so dry, monotonous, and soul crushing. Studying to become an automotive engineer? You're probably going to end up designing a fucking gasket or a tire tread in Catia day in and day out. The real world is absolutely miserable, it's where passion goes to die.

Haha. Grim but a good post.

This is obviously a troll topic, you can tell because of the way that it is.

Ive seen TCs non troll posts and hes a... ahem, I mean to say hes special. He brings up a valid point that working 50-60hrs blows but at the same time Im not sure what jobs there are that pay a living wage (like not pay check to paycheck and your quality of life isnt shit and slightly better than being homeless) at just 20 hours a week.

Welfare would be great but problem is it doesnt pay enough for rent. It pays enough that you can drink rubbing alcohol and sleep in the streets so its great if youre into that kinda thing, but problem is most people desire a bit more than that and thats often impossible unless you work 40+ hours a week, even at a poverty wage like $12/hr.

If you don't have anything nice to say, say it on the internet.
