My job title has engineer in it but I am definitely not an engineer nor do I have an engineering degree.

I do wish I had done engineering in college.

Being an Engineer is mostly about how much endurance/discipline you have and less about how mathematically smart you are.

can you explain to me the appeal of being a health worker over an engineer?

i didn't say other jobs aren't important, i said there's no appeal to doing it over engineering. as in, why would you as an individual want to do an inferior job when it benefits you in no way?

no, i said other "career paths" are pointless. i didn't say the position is useless. we still need politicians, fast food workers, doctors, etc...but why would anyone as an individual prefer to work those jobs as opposed to engineering? they are some combination of more work, more difficult, less pay, more stressful

see, you are misunderstanding

i'm saying those jobs are necessary

but you as an individual should have highly considered being an engineer instead because any other career path is: some combination of more work, more difficult, less pay, more stressful

I already did.

Not everybody is looking for the most money for the least amount of work.

Public service is important to some people. This is why I've taken serious pay cuts and taken more stressful jobs at the same time, because it fits more appropriately with what I feel is valuable to society.

You're still clueless.

Folks in the medical field have to devote countless hours in experiential education where they are either underpaid or not paid at all. This service is part of that pointless educational pathway you are referring to in your incessant ranting. What you deem as pointless may be very meaningful to someone else and you should be ashamed of yourself for demeaning other professionals in such a manner.

Sure, it can. However, as a field that isn't necessarily what it's about.

I imagine engineers (outside of IT) are highly stressed. Building collapses with no external factors involved? Buck stops with you. If you dont want the money why would you want the stress?

Engineers in IT are stressed as well, but thats due to unrealistic expectations from their employer and not because people will die if they get it wrong
