I'm not sure if I want to do engineering. It seems almost like vocational work. I don't see how it would ever be more interesting than having a research position in math physics chemistry. The money seems insignificant in comparison.

$300,000 a year is comfortably poor.

Unless you develop the balls to create something, lifestyle inflation will ensure you live paycheck to paycheck just like everyone you look down on.

I have taken a lot of engineering courses and most of them are very hand wavy, they were interesting in their own way, but most of the time there was no actual reason given why things "just work".

Also the math engineers actually take is a joke. Barely any proofs at all.

>>8864331
Also most engineers are highly dependent on numerics, without mathematicians developing algorithms to solve complicated problems engineers are basically helpless.
So much in engineering depends on numerics and engineers almost understand none of it.

Nobody cares that you can solve a DE, you have a computer for that which uses the work of mathematicians to solve these problems for you.

Maybe a century ago. Now its just applying linearization and a random ode solver. Newton-Euler still works for most situations

>Proofs aren't everything you know?
If you are talking about mathematics proofs are literally EVERYTHING.
And everything that has rigor in any form is about proofs.
Thats why the mathematics you know about and apply is NOT rigorous.

You obviously dont need the rigor, mathematicians have done all that for you and developed the framework which you can now use.

>Maybe a century ago. Now its just applying linearization and a random ode solver. Newton-Euler still works for most situations
This is just plain wrong.
Maybe it is different where you live, but here in Germany engineers here use things like FEM and related methods, which require advanced mathematics to really understand them.
