You just highlighted all that is wrong with the modern educational system. Kids who are taught nothing but theory and have no idea of what is going on on the workshop floor. This is why employers always demand experience. If you can't sort out a two-stroke engine how will you be able to design improvements? You really think that your Otto cycle diagrams are the be all-end all of engines?

So why don't you know how to fix stuff?

Yes, there are technicians and various other people to do this shit, but it's no excuse that as an engineer you don't know how to do it yourself. Practical understanding gives a better theoretical understanding and vice-versa. You can't really see your design unless you can deal with it's tangible form. I could use practical physics as an example too. Without doing experiments you won't know how practical design differs from textbook maxwell equations.

Also as a human being you're a piece of shit arrogant fuck if you don't value manual labor and you can't do at least something with your bare hands.
TL;DR
You don't know jack shit about your field and you're below mediocre.


This is way engineers have bad names on /sci/, not that undergrad noskill physicists are better.

Whats worse is freshman or sophomores at parties when something breaks they clear the way and exclaim "i'm an engineer i can fix this!!!" And they spend the next 10 minutes bumbling around and eventually giving up.

Anyone should be able to fix it with a little research. An engineering degree would not be useful, though.

Fucking millennial cant even fix a god dammed lawnmower. I could build one from a lump of metal if I really needed to and you cant even fucking fix it. A fuckin law mower, its not like some space aged tech, this shit is so fucking simple like literally some of the most simple engines on the fucking planet and you cant even figure out what the hell is wrong with it, you'd probably rather fucking buy a new one than check the spark plug or filter.
