When did you become interested in engineering, /sci/?

>> No.7473215

When and also how, I should add

>When did you become interested in a meme science?
I didn't.

My uncle touched me when I was a kid and I developed an anal fixation.A couple years later, I had my masters.

Nobody could answer my questions as a child. So I set out to get my own answers.

Turned out most of my research was redundant as other people had already solved these things. But I didn't have access to a college level library or the internet back then so I wasted years of my life independently solving some of the great scientific questions of the past. Then getting rebuked for plagiarism, which largely destroyed my reputation and career options.

It just got worse when I was trying to model nuclear reactions out of boredom and the silly idea I could solve the energy crises. Not having access to a reactor I started working a complex computer simulation as a safer and simpler alternative. Tell some people about my work, few weeks later FBI comes with a warrant. My program is used as evidence I have "misappropriated" nuclear secret. Costly court battle nearly wiped me out and my research and computer was never returned, and that one had a CD write in it which was a big deal back then.

I now work minimum wage in a library likely under government observation as a discredited old cook.

I know this is a troll thread but I'll bite
Went to university to study chemistry, it was full of overcompetitive spergs, the professors were aloof as fuck and you had to wade through a ton of 19th century bullshit in order to finally do something meaningful. Dropped out and set up my own tech startup making UAVs. Much more rewarding, no more spergs constantly attacking my work, no more unhelpful professors and most of all you get immediate palpable results. Call it babby tier all you want, I'm loving it.

i wasn't interested in engineering, i was entirely a mathematician
but then i saw a thread on /b/ about engineering
i then started experimenting with engineering
now i am almost exclusively an engineer

This year, after I truly stopped to study physics, math, chemistry and also got into programming. I finally realised I actually love making things, and even better: being able to predict things, and the results come out as predicted. It's awesome.

when I was 8, the priest from my church touched me in my weewee, and I realized that I liked it so much that I decided to enter the only career field gayer than musical theater.
