What was the moment like when you guys realized that you got into a subhuman tier job?
I work as an aerospace engineer and for me it happened last week when I talked with some colleagues about what my parents do for a living. I said my mom is a doctor and my colleagues unironically reacted like: "wow user your mom is a docotor? woooow" Other colleagues gathered and asked me more questions. "does she have her own office user? oh my god thats so amazing" "wow I wish I was a doctor" "I wish I had my own office" "she probably earns a lot right user?" "she is helping sick people user? wow" "she probably can afford her own house right user? wow I wish I could" "what car is she driving user?" "why did you not study medicine like she did it user?"
Fuck this shit, if I had know that engineering was such as subhuman low-wage autistic social decline profession, I would never have studied this crap. Not even kidding. Innovation! Technology! Exciting innovative projects! High-Tech! Science! Responsibility! Fuck this shit. It was all a scam!!
I didn't know they even had airplane manufacturers in Europe
Brayden Watson
it's not that bad man, chin up, you're gonna go higher in a few years
Christian Nelson
fucking AIRBUS is European dude
I don't even care so much about the salary, I just want to do something that has got some purpose, a higher social acceptance and where I got some responsibility. I even think about going back to some university and make a PHD
Gavin Hill
Red pill me on engineering?
T. Junior in college, mecheng major
Thomas Gutierrez
Airbus must pay dogshit. Fucking Boeing, the worst aerospace co to engineer at, will take 5year automotive catia designers (not even bsme's) and pay 50-60/hr.
Nicholas Hill
>t. retard
Connor Miller
would seriously think about switching to some other major, which is more focused on robotics or some other innovative field.
mechanical engineers are not in demand (at least in my country), it is basically 3D CAD design + documentation + macro programming + a lot of 2D drawings.
plus you most probably gonna start at some low tier engineering service provider, work there for several years, and then you might get a position at OEM if you are a little lucky and not totally retarded
Lucas Adams
Mechanical Engineering is a ridiculously difficult degree, I can't believe they don't make 100k starting
Jeremiah Harris
maybe it is different in the US! At the companies where I worked there were mechanical engineers who work as designer, manufacturing engineers or stress engineers for example. The pay should be more or less the same for all of those disciplines
Angel Cook
>tfw Industrial Engineering degree >work as a Quality Assurance engineer I would trade it all to go back in time and study computer science
Brayden Anderson
> industrial engineer here > work as soft dev no man, it's a dead pay job and you have to do all the jobs it-manager retards pretend.
> oh we will migrate all email-services on gmail. > oh fuck. Google read all our email, had all our passwords, they know all our secret! It's a big problem now!

For how smart aerospace engineers are (excluding females and diversity hires, of course) it's surprising to me that so many of them are such huge cucks. They have all this specialized knowledge and just end up letting a big company fuck them daily for a fraction of the value they create. I see managers and roasties above them, who do nothing but schedule meetings all day, making fucking bank while the plebs do all the work. >t. controller that knows how much everyone makes
Dylan Wright
>aerospace engineers and by that I mean mechanical, structural, stress, etc. not necessarily talking about someone who studied aerospace engineering specifically, because apparently that exists
Ryder Butler
that was my degree as well but i'm a business intelligence analyst, actually pretty enjoyable.
Christian Reed
I worked as a Technology Projects Eng. in GE Aerospace and I can confirm this. Moreover, with all those inclusive and fagot-level policies, women now earn in some cases more than men and do literally nothing but address the work from other men (betas mostly). It is awful bros. I left the company to pursue a PhD, and now I earn more money in an univ. doing nothing but research on topics that I master and teaching for undegrads. As far as I know, GE is shit tier level by now in the market. I wonder why.
Landon Gutierrez
oh BI! nice meme job!
Brody Ward
Oh wow, europoors pay their engineers like shit.
Dylan Rogers
why's that?
Zachary Williams
because 99% of job is just clean data. 1% is using some black magic algo, put result in excel o ppt and say stupid thinks to high level retarded manager surrounded by roasties in mini skirt.
Nathan Thompson
Fuck being a doctor though. I am about to graduate residency and will be pulling in over 300K next year but there is absolutely no way in hell I would do it all over again.
Wyatt Gutierrez
what do engineering graduates usually get in the US when they start working?
Joshua Morris
for me it's building dashboards for high level management, explaining what a filter is, and then letting them go to town.
Hunter Ross
>women now earn in some cases more than men and do literally nothing but address the work from other men (betas mostly). It is awful bros. Yup. Have seen this firsthand many times now. In general it is so expensive and there is so much inefficiency that it blows my mind these companies ever become profitable. I would not be surprised if some of the big guys are having cash flow problems currently. Except they have structured themselves into such huge conglomerates that it is not readily noticeable to an outsider. Excluding those involved with defense, of course. depending on what they are working on, what level of proficiency they have (prior internships, certifications, other experience), and location they are working, I would say $60-80k?

My retired economist boomer mom pulls 6500 EUR a month while I make 4500 EUR a month from wage slaving as a R&D scientist
Charles Garcia
what does your job look like as a R&D Engineer?
Elijah Nguyen
I do data analysis in Biotech. Basically just writing Bash and Python scripts and automating stuff.. it's okay. Maybe I will start consulting after a few more years of this..
Jaxon Bailey
What do you think will happen when I screencap this thread and post it in the Facebook group of my engineering major?
Chase Perez
You're paid pretty damn well, in which country are you in?
Tyler Bennett
i'm an aerospace sw engi and my gf's thot friends always bombard me with the same questions when i say where i work lol.
Jeremiah Perez
Hopefully they’ll start visiting and they’ll start buying crypto. My bags are killing me.
Joshua Bennett
Been in engineering for 4 years. 1 year in oilfield services and 3 in HVAC. Your job will be to sit at a computer and click buttons. You will not be creative. You will probably be in a cubicle until you retire. Your job is to do things that have been done 1,000 times before the same way those 1,000 people did it. Know the ASME Dildo Standard Section 17.4.1 by heart or you're fired.
My company doesn't do this, but many big players do, especially defense contractors. They hire engineers straight out of college and lay them off 3 years later to replace them with other engineers that just graduated because they are cheaper. Avoid Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, GE (kek), and CH2M Hill.
My employer doesn't do this but lots of companies that pay salary pay you for 40 hours per week while making it very clear to you that they expect you to work 50 or more and 40 hours is the bare minimum. Think of it like Jennifer Aniston's pieces of flair on OfficeSpace, only instead of cute buttons, it's hours out of your life.
I don't regret going to college, but I do regret my choice of major. Soon, I will start the required college-level finance classes to become a financial advisor.
