A mathematician, a physicist, an engineer and a biologist walk into a bar. They all order a beer, then the engineer starts drinking. His mates look at his glass:

The biologist says: "Your glass is half empty."

The physicist replies: "He's rather 60% empty..."

The mathematician says: "Well all we can say is that it's not completely empty and not completely full."

The engineer says: "I love cocks" then proceeds to pull out his dick and stick it up the biologist's ass. The biologist, startled, unzips his pants and punches the mathematician in the face. The mathematician falls over and the physicist profits from it, unzipping his pants too and sucking the mathematician's cock. The bartender's like: "What the fuck" but then the engineer grabs his pants too and puts his left hand on the bartender's crotch while his right hand fondles the biologist's balls. The biologist starts moaning while being fucked in the ass. Meanwhile, the mathematician regains consciousness and looks at the physicist busy sucking his rock hard dick. Since it feels good, he shouts "EJACULATIONS!" in a very high pitched voice. Meanwhile, the bartender is being aroused by the engineer's hand and pulls out his massive cock. The engineer then gives him a glorious handjob. Then everybody comes at the same time, the biologist cries: "I'm your bitch, fuck me, fuck me!" The physicist is being annoyed by all this noise and starts biting the mathematician dick and shaking his mouth. Eventually the severed part sails off in an arc. The engineering promptly cums, then looks at the mathematician and says: "What a shame. You'll never be an engineer".

I guess engineering consumes much more time because it is multi-discplinary and there are a lot of lab practices and reports to do. You can't really say that it is much more harder as a field itself but the process of obtaining an engineering degree implies much more suffering

[Anonymous No.4276912]

>>4276905
Well, yeah, it does. I'm not going to try to compary my physics studies to some US EE degree, as it is another continent, another university and another study. BUT, I did have my fair share of lab attendances and lab reports to write as well, classes with attendance .. and yeah, at times it is tough as shit, but it pays off.

i'm in my third year of a ME degree and never had a job or internship.

no job because i don't need the money, no debt, and i have some savings on the side.

no internship because no one would take me. i'll desperately try to get one this summer, but things are looking extremely competitive and the area i'm in isn't too deeply rooted in technology.

You're lucky to have the choice of doing a job that doesn't pay. I had to regularly do shitty jobs and refuse undergrad projects because of the "no money lulz".

But eh, graduated with distinction anyway and got a job 3 months before my final exam.

[Anonymous No.4277025]

>>4277000
This.

EVERYONE should be working in college. And by working I don't mean "a part-time job at starbucks" because that's worthless experience-wise. Rather, I mean working an internship related to your field because, as you'll find out upon graduating college, everyone expects you to have obtained significant practical experience while in college.

Want to be an engineer? You need to work on a project during undergrad.

Want to be a scientist? You need to do research.

Want to be a doctor/pharmacist/optometrist/dentist? You need to shadow a physician/pharmacist/optometrist/dentist. And doing research wouldn't hurt either.

Want to go into corporate business? You need to do business internships.

A degree was enough to open doors 30 years ago. Those days are fucking dead though and now a degree by itself is just a slip of paper.

You guys must not be engineers or go to some easy college. I'm not talking about summer internships either.

I study a hell of a lot more than 18 hours per week. So did the group I study with, which included about half my class on and off. Those not with me often derided me for going to sleep at *four in the fucking morning*.

I went home when the sun came up, to get 1-2 hours of sleep, more often than I want to remember, literally. My final project involves my group probably staying awake for over 72 hours to finish it on time. Not with catnaps, not with breaks, working.

I put in 13 hours on Thanksgiving my first year as an engineering student, remembering it as an initiation into the studying hell that was to come.

There are students who didn't put in that much time, but they still put in a full time job with overtime on Transport Phenomena and Thermodynamics homework. The ones that didn't weren't engineering students for long. I'm sure there are both engineering disciplines and engineering schools that don't require that level of time commitment to graduate, but I know for a fact that not getting sleep regularly was a factor in people leaving the program. I don't think it needs to be this way and I think there are some extreme disconnects in the engineering education field concerning what students should bring to the table, but people leave because it's not just hard: it's asinine.

There's a difference between getting everything handed down and to have to work a few shitty jobs. I think, just like the draft, a bit of pizza hut jobbing isn't a bad experience. I did mostly work for Siemens and other companies of the sort to get me through university and to pimp the CV.

I don't know what the situation is in the US, but here in central Europe, your diploma alone isn't worth much if you didn't have at least 1 year worth of part-time jobbing in the respective field.

My parents make good money. They couldn't finance my entire college career, but they could fund a sizable portion of it. However, they don't give me any assistance and I prefer it that way. I have to bust my ass to make ends meet, but it teaches me work ethic, time management, and financial skills. Furthermore, employers LOVE independence.

tl;dr I believe in paying for your own school.

[Anonymous No.4277488]

But guys, here in Europe one can't get an internship until the 3rd year and even then, companies prefer people with a degree, so how do you guys get all those hours of field related jobs and research-jobs and still spend time on 4chan?

I mean for me, on 2nd year of Aerospace Eng., it's almost impossible to find a place to do something, even making coffee for the boss, because I have no contacts of any kind in the industry and employers assume I can't do shit..

Where in Europe?

Here in Belgium, students (usually at least year 3 out of 5) can do some work teaching lower years (for very appreciable money).

There are also a bunch of projects ("eurobot" for example) one can participate in (but that's not paid).

And then, we also have a student-managed company called N-HiTec ( http://www.nhitec.com/index.php?page=home2&hl=en_GB ). You can participate in management (not paid) or if you have valuable skills (even from year 1), be paid to do some jobs the company is hired for (usually websites & electronics).

Personally I chose to invest myself in the faculty comitee (i.e. managing part of my year and participating in managing engineering+CS studies in general), I think it's also valuable to an employer.

About your suggestions, teaching seems nice, however, one needs to have a good relationship with one of the teachers or to stand out on academic level which isn't easy.

[Anonymous No.4277561]

Canadafag here. The government pays universities to hire student in order to improve their campuses so that the students can work off their student debt and improve our educational institutions.

Many universities also offer co-op placements, 1 year of paid work experience at a company in your related field either over the summer, or in some cases, to replace your 3rd year.

So working while going to school is a part of the culture here I guess. Its pretty close to expected.

> About your suggestions, teaching seems nice, however, one needs to have a good relationship with one of the teachers or to stand out on academic level which isn't easy.

Here we have no relationship at all with the teachers. They give their course ex-cathedra in a lecture theater and won't have any contact with the student except if you directly go address them or have an oral exam. So that's not really a problem.

For the academic level, the restriction here is that you need to have had a nice score in that course (at least 15 or 16/20 ? that's not always clear) and have had a "distinction" (average of at least 14/20, assuming you didn't fail any course) for the previous year. So you do need to be good enough, but not that good.

Trust me, I've had student-teachers who sadly didn't know much (just had to follow the course of another one)...
