boring, i remember there is saying about PHD, permanent head
damage, engineering is too far away from life. You learn
engineering, you cannot talk about it with ladies.
And i feel the lecturer in NTU, some of them , when giving
lecture, they are sweating, some already lose the function of
chating,
With all the money in the world, they will not be happy,
There do have some brilliant lecturer, but cannot ignore those
"bore you to death" killers.
Some people are not good at engineering, they are attracted by
the money there, they want a steady job, if you are not the
material , don't do it.
I once work for a company, when i was do the wiring for
the machine, i saw the sales, dress suit, drinking coffee,
chatting,
i realize, the money is not good enough, see those sales,
talking here and there, making good money,
above all the factor, the most important, thing is engineeing,
refrain your thought.
You engineer, don't think engineering make the world more
beautifull, you also build weapon, there is where the most advance
technology goes.
hmm... To me, I don't see study engineering as going into
engineering... More of a training of your analytical skills...
Anyway, your last statement reminds me of... Engineers build the
world with all the wonderful construction tools, engineers also
destroy the world with all the advanced weapons
