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 worked in e-commerce consulting for a while and it was draining my soul through my nostrils so I left to work at various startups making different kinds of treats. It might be equally meaningless in the long run but writing the firmware for a weed vape is a lot more satisfying than writing customer retention data crunching blah blah blah

      Huh, I'm in the beginning stages of a job search and I had honestly more or less entirely written off startups. You've made me reconsider slightly. I'm just worried about stability, you know?

        Yeah we're going into a recession so I might be fucked, but a startup that's done Series B is a lot more stable than one running on seed money
