How many of you are engineers or are going to school for it and what is your major? Here is one, Mechanical Engineering.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to say I STUDY Mechanical Engineering, I finish my bachelors at LSU this spring.

I'm a junior at the Air Force Academy, majoring in Aeronautical Engineering. 3 more semesters and I'll have my BS in aero engineering, and I'll hopefully be in pilot school, flying supersonic fighters for Uncle Sam.

I'm a freshman there now in Civil Engineering. Be ready to bend over first semester homework wise.

EDIT: Screw you and your nice cars! haha, you can't bring 'em next year

I think I should have become a dentist instead. Engineering is not all what I wanted it to be. Dentist don't even work. They show up whenever, and make their assistants do everything. Kinda like some lazy azz engineers I know. But the dentist gets more money.

Techs make more money. They get high hourly wage, overtime, and aren't on call. Engineers work for mere pennies......a straight salary, plus 24/7 on call, and 90 hour work weeks. Plus, techs get to have more fun. I liked being tech more than anything. I can still do all the tech work I want, but I always end up getting pulled away by senior engineers looking for a fall guy for their engineering diasters.

Just shy of a decade. Good job. My uncle took at least 10 years to get his BSME. I remember visting him in summer when I was a little kid. When he started they still used drafting tables. He had a huge draft table. CAD was still experimental. I think maybe that is why it took so long. I guess he was the last of the old school engineers, and had to redo his whole degree with the dawn of the Computer Age.
