i talked to some students at my school who study engineering a few times and like all they do is make shitty robots that tip over bottles and shit? where's the practical use for this after school i just dont understand

          well if the boys from /c/finance and all get together maybe we can get our own chip manufacturing off the ground. i’ve been thinking about moving into research and majors based on figuring out how to manufacture computing parts. we could literally build the peoples’ chip

      Huawei is worker owned, and they're shifting towards manufacturing their own chips.

      Ya know, just in case you ever wanted to Brain Drain the US and hop overseas.

            As a note, a lot of european countries quote their salaries post-tax. When I was browsing around and saw their engineering positions being paid half or less than an American equivalent I was a bit thrown off for a moment till I factored that in.

                Yeah I think that as an engineer, you still can get paid better in the US at the end of the day (everything depends, of course), but once I re-ran some numbers, it made more sense. I could also be wrong, but I figured someone would jump in and correct me.
