Going from electrical engineering to civil engineering. What can I expect? And why is civil hated so much?

>> No.9110880

Brainlets who fail Physics switch to EE.
Brainlets who fail EE switch to MechE
Brainlets who fail MechE switch to CivilE.
Brainlets who fail CivilE switch to Computer Science.
Brainlets who fail Computer Science switch to Business.
Brainlets who fail Business switch to Humanities.

My dad is a civil engineer. In the course of my life I have seen him have a stroke, lose his business, lose his sanity, become an abusive person and then become a christian cultist (as in now he spends more time in the church than in the house or his job, I assume to cope).

One time we were talking and I told him that he is the reason I ended up in academia because after watching him the last thing I wanted to do was get a real job and go through the shit he did. If I wasn't "smart" then I would probably be a political activist, a communist terrorist or some other brand of "job" for people that do not want to actually work.

At my school, there's a required EMag course for EEs. And we're not even a hard engineering school. It's weird that you could get a degree without really knowing anything about EM waves likes that.
