How do I tell my parents I might be an engineer?

"Mom, dad... I need to make a confession to you... I think that I am gay."
Is this fine?

don't do it OP. they might kick you out and shame you to all your friends and family

>> No.2357330

just kidding! I'm an engineer...

>> No.2357336

First tell them you want to major in drama or philosophy. Then tell them you want to major in engineering. It will soften the blow.

>> No.2357341

I don't see any problem about it. I'm in physics engineering and I don't see anything to be a shamed of.

I'm guessing you parents must be real scientists. I mean an engineering degree is about as useful as a mythology degree.

Well my father's a doctor and my mom teaches physics in high school. I really don't want to disappoint them but lately I've found myself not being able to immediately understand math like I used to and I've started using simple.wikipedia.com instead of normal Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure I'm an engineer but I don't know how to break it to them.

I understand not everyone likes engineers or even approves of them, but at least you could tolerate them. It's 2011 for fuck's sake.

You're too retarded to be an engineer.

Your inability to grasp philosophical contents should make you react like that. I mean look at you being a "scientist" and all but can't even understand even the basic meaning of philosophy.

philosophy = friend of wisdom (ie science is in there you buffoon)

Dude, I said go for it. Are you so insecure about studying philosophy that you get angry at people who support your decision?

>> No.2357502

>>2357472
You equalized philosophy with "What's wrong with having sex with animals?". Btw, phylosophy is a hooby of mine, I wanna be a mechanical engineer or EE, if I can't get to those two schools I will have to downgrade to mathematics or physics.
