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

    Being the idle son or daughter of the wealthy seems to be a pretty sweet gig, but I haven't been able to figure out where to apply for it.

        even if you did marry in, you'd never be accepted as one of them, you'd be an eternal outsider

          I mean for me personally, I literally would only want the money. The lack of acceptance from shitty rich fucks would be a good thing.

            LOL the money wouldn't be for you. Except in the divorce settlement, and they'd require a pre-nup anyway.

            We humans are social animals, we crave acceptance into the ingroup. Being in the outgroup all the time with only your husband to include you would be misery-inducing. Plus he'd be creeped out by your family and wouldn't want to be around them, even though you want him and your children to be a part of them. He'd say they're a bad influence on his children and he'd probably be right.

              Lotta assumptions here about what a hypothetical relationship between me and an unreasonably wealthy person would look like, almost none of which are true.

              For one thing, I wouldn't marry a rich fuck unless they were a class traitor. Full stop, I wouldn't be able to deal with it otherwise. So we would certainly have non-rich friends and the relationship would absolutely not be me as a house spouse never seeing anyone except my partner and rich people who hate me. Second, there is zero chance of me ever having kids. I will never reproduce and have taken steps to ensure that, in fact, I physically cannot. Third, we're jumping straight to my hypothetical spouse being a man. Why? Women and enbies can also be rich, you know.

              This is all super silly, of course, I'm never going to marry a rich person, because I'm in a very happy relationship with a great human being who I love a lot and also because rich people tend to marry other rich people. I wouldn't have even bothered responding except for all the, dare I say patriarchal, assumptions you're making about me.

      Bruh they usually haaaate themselves. Like the people in the front of the train on snowpiercer. Take away their treats and they go feral and self destruct. They are hollow shells of people.

      I think the only people who are really doing it are people in co ops. Even then im not too sure though

      it does sound like a great life being able to pursue anything knowing that if you “fail” it won’t wreck you financially and you can just try something new.

      We should all be able to live like that
