There is a reason why there is a shortage of engineers. We are underpaid, over worked, over stressed. For the amount of stuff we have to do and know, we are not well respected. My ex-piano teacher thought engineers are those people who fix your car at your local garage. People aren't impressed when you tell them you are an "engineer", but if you tell them you are a lawyer or a doctor, they will be like "nice work". I guess these are the reasons why students aren't choosing engineering for uni.
My engineering degree is driving me insane. There are heaps of people dropping out of my engineering degree, becaues they can't handle it. After 3years of uni i look double my age, and i look pissed off all the time. As people say the only difference between an engineer and a psychopath is that one has a degree. I don't have my degree yet so guess which one am I.
