Both natural science and engineering degrees require a lot of work and studying. However, physics and math degrees (which I imagine a lot of people on /sci/ have) require slightly more work and studying than many engineering degrees, yet a person with an engineering degree obviously has a much higher chance of getting a job than a person with a natural science degree. Also, engineering jobs usually pay a lot more money than the jobs of people with natural science degrees (whether they're in research or education or whatever). Some people with math and physics degrees are just upset because they spent a lot of time during their youth slaving away to get their degree, and now that they have it, some of them feel that it hasn't really done much for them. Engineers, however, generally make full use of their degrees. For all of those reasons, many natural science majors, especially in physics and math, are kind of envious of engineers.
Also, different people want different degrees for different reasons. Some of the reasons I've heard people like getting engineering degrees is:
1. They're passionate about engineering (they love building shit).
2. They like the job security and pay of engineering jobs
3. The air of elitism that comes with engineering, an engineering degree being harder to obtain than many other degrees
And some of the reasons I've heard people like getting natural science/math degrees is:
1. They like teaching
2. They're passionate about being knowledgeable
3. They're passionate about doing research
4. Natural science degrees, like physics, and math degrees, are harder to obtain than many other degrees, so that air of elitism is there as well.
