"Amazing is the poverty of my ribs!" thus hath spoken many a present-day man.

Yea, ye are laughable unto me, ye present-day men! And especially when ye marvel at yourselves!

And woe unto me if I could not laugh at your marvelling, and had to swallow all that is repugnant in your platters!

As it is, however, I will make lighter of you, since I have to carry what is heavy; and what matter if beetles and May-bugs also alight on my load!

Verily, it shall not on that account become heavier to me! And not from you, ye present-day men, shall my great weariness arise.—

Okay, entering college I know I'm going to pursue a STEM field, but in what specific field will I cultivate the most money and power? It all blurs together for me.

Anecdotal evidence but the engineers I've met are some of the shittiest people I've ever. I used to think that engineering was the only way to go but that coupled with what I know about how their day to day activies go really turned me off.

I was interested in petroleum since that's all I know since I've started working but it's not something that's viable anymore and even if I graduated I'll probably graduate into a shit market.

I dunno, just my two cents.

Its not anecodtal. Most STEM workers are not high paying. Engineers are got in the middle of either working with a good salary or making 50-60k. Most engineers don't do shit and the design is always done by someone in a trade such engineering technician/technologist. Petroleum is very risky field. High paying but it goes through boom/bust cycles more than any other industry. You can try phram sales, or technical.

You're better off with an MS, or M.Eng. Experience is much better than a PhD. If you go for a PhD then you're trying to become a professor. Space sector is pretty much Aerospace, which is dominated by the US military. In other words you'll be helping design military jets or rockets. But the problem is that the industry hasn't recovered since the end of the cold war. You're better off in medical tech at the moment.

yeah I've been thinking about nuclear eng myself actually, but I feel like it's a bit risky as the public perception of nuclear energy is shit and plants are getting shut down (at least in europe). The only light in the tunnel is fusion but that's easily decades away so yeah... nuclear engineers can get work in the medical field but at that point why not just study medical tech you know?

>> No.861761

>>861758
Nuclear engineering will be a thing. India and China are building plants at mass production levels. This will force the West to do the same. The US has a problem with the NRC, not hippies. If you want to do medical tech, then go on and do medical physics. I believe a masters is needed for most jobs.

How is chemical engineering? Is majoring in Aerospace itself a bad idea because of how narrow it is?

>> No.863665

>>863661
Its not because its narrow. Its due to the fact hte field hasn't recovered since the end of the cold war. A lot of aeroguys designed the rockets, and military aviation the US used. This is why you major in Mech E, with courses involving aerospace. Chem E is very narrow but high paying. You'll make most household products. Just do what you like.
