Actually am an engineer. This is fairly accurate, especially if you're customer facing.

We can produce things better, cheaper, and faster.....but you can only choose two.

I don't get why people need to justify that their job is hard or sucks because of other people, etc. You chose the field.

Don't worry, we have machines for that now. Because, you know, making life better is what we're about.

As an engineer, I actually had an assembly lead try to get "the wizard" to stick as a nickname for me. It didn't. (1/2)

The shop only has nicknames for us engineers when we screw up a design or don't provide the correct parts.

When I was an engineering student I didn't have time to have that sort or arrogance. In reality our job IS more complex than most, though

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Maybe you didn't, but the average person in my classes does. Weird thing is the most arrogant ones are never the highest achieving.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They probably will early on, but the "average intelligence" ones don't even make it past physics/math.

I have heard an engineer say "Because I'm not a fucking wizard" to a project manager. He stands corrected.

You get the Wizard title at 30, but if you're an engineer, you get the Arch Technomage title. Comes with a nifty neon robe and glowing hat.

Just remember behind every engineer is a mechanic ready to fix the shit he didn't design right the first time

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 4

don't forget all of the maintenance in the future due to stupid designs

Companies sell support contracts on top of design work. They're usually worth more for less work. Go figure.

Did you mean "improper use"?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

after seeing many different things overdesigned by engineers. No, no I don't mean "improper use".

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Most of the stuff I do is pretty simple. Most of the stuff we have to fix is abuse related. You obviously have a different experience.

It wasn't our bad design. Our design was fine until the accountants got hold of it.

We're often handicapped by our limited budgets, not necessarily our fault

I have a profound respect for mechanics, my dad was one and he's the guy who inspired me to do engineering.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Some engineers are stupid. Most of the time stupid design comes from customers/government regulations asking for impossible things.

God I hate the engineering circle jerk. I'm an eng student, and it infuriates me to no end.

As another engineering student, really hoping this stuff is from students and not pros...

The engineers I worked with took their own field measurements and their designs were still horribly off.

It's possibly just an attempt at promoting the subject/field since not many girls or people in general are doing it. My class had 1 girl/115

It's not as competitive as say, medicine for example. A lot of people in general don't like math or physics
