is it paid by the company at least cyber bro?

mechanical engineers are a joke. they have no idea how shit actually works, yet refuse to take any semblance of responsibility for their fucked up drawings
>give me shitty plans for a project with notes saying "it's not my fault if this doesn't work teehee, that's the contractor's responsibility to verify engineering is correct"
>send them a list of necessary changes to make it work right
>"umm, sweaty, oof, I'm an engineer. I know this better than you. i'm not changing it you sweet summer child"
>say "okay, just remove the notes saying it's my responsibility if it doesn't work"
>"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I can't take that liability, why don't you just make field adjustments and then essentially do my job fucking around in CAD to fix my fucked up drawings that I won't fix?!?!"
if you work with engineers, save your emails. most are too autistic to realize you're collecting evidence of their refusal to check their work.

How hard is it to get a job at FAANG?

fuck bros, i'm going in for an aerospace degree
don't tell me i got cucked for not going comp sci

>>51338647
Well FAANG is not a company. You can start a company and give yourself a job there.

>>51338647
Amazon is always hiring for their warehouses

>>51338558
you worked with a cad monkey, not an engineer

>>51338886
this is my experience with literally every engineer except one.
senior engineers and owners of engineering firms will argue with me about shit drawings that are nowhere close to code, and their justification is "ummm, sweaty, i have an engineering degree from DeVry University. sure you installed these for years, have supervised their installation for even longer, and dealt with countless city inspectors, but I know better than you. if you want correct drawings you need to do them even though I'm being paid for them. yes I'm refusing to make corrections, but you are responsible for my design not working"
as bad as engineers are, don't get me started on architects.
>I'll be able to see the air ducts in a room with no ceiling?
yes retard, they don't make bluetooth air ducts
>why do i have to lower the ceilings? i left 6" for electrical, fire sprinklers, HVAC, & gas lines... i told the customer we can have ceilings this high
well I guess you're having an awkward conversation with the customer
>can you send those plans to me? i never got them
I sent them 7 times in the last 2 weeks but sure here's the forward chain
>i didn't tell you about the ceiling height changing after you installed everything, but why does that matter? it's not like a much larger room will need different lights or carry any additional HVAC load
at least I have 2 viable career options if I get a traumatic brain injury

>me civil engineer
>me fail calculus three times
>me expert in concrete me play in dirt me eat soil to understand structure
>me use the computer calculator to figure if work or not

>me mechanical engineer
>me copy homework answers off internet
>me hit car engines with wrenches
>me grunt at computer until me get engineer answers from computer

>>51338796
What school? If you're going aerospace you're probably intelligent enough to figure out how to get a better paying career, or speculate and invest appropriately.

>>51338097
Clinical research is the hidden gem and that's an irrefutable fact. Start in research, move into private. You're set.

>>51338558
Blows my mind that there are engineers with no trade experience designing shit but it explains a lot of things

>>51341906
They don't teach us trades in school. Only calculus and physics problem solving

>>51342197
Yup

for real though, CADniggers get the rope
they're the ME equivalent of gay frontend "devs" who suck dicks

>>51342197
Why the fuck would you want to spend precious time in university learning pointless tradie garbage that can be learned in a day on the job?

>Literally medieval switches and gears.

>implying physical machines/devices are obsolete
what are you a ghost or some shit nigga?

uhm bros??? did I fuck up???

>>51344151
nah just become a manager or some shit
isn't that what "industrial engineering" is supposed to be anyway? like operations research but with less math?

>>51344159
Imagine business, statistics, and mechanical engineering rolled into one field of study. Basically a business major that can actually produce things or understands how to turn a profit in a mass market. My goal is to be on the design side for the first part of my career and transition to engineering management as I understand what the hell I should be doing.

>no degree
>make more than those with a degree

what?

>>51344197
interesting
you'll be fine, good luck bro

>>51344151
we go to the same college

>>51338796
it depends
do you want to make shitloads of money while doing jack shit? should've went for compsci but that's selling your soul
besides keep in mind you can always pivot into IT, literally at any moment
any proper engineer can become a coder, but a coder will never be able to become an engineer

>>51344244
I graduated though. What's your major, beaverchad?

>>51338097
The only mechanical engineer I know switched to being an advisor in some law firm. It is an over saturated field and you are more likely to end up working in some dairy factory than in a car manufacturing corporation.
>>51338796
The only aerospace engineer I know has quit his job (military drone manufacturing) and is doing a bootcamp to become a software dev.
The next decade will be like this. Talent from all sorts of STEM jobs realizing how much money there is in software and switching to satisfy the huge demand for software workers. They will be higher quality than Indian or East European workers. Even in non-software STEM jobs it is a huge plus knowing decent programming.
