      It's not that girls are not capable. Girls destroy guys at University. The thing is that girls are often not interested in engineering. The hotter and more femenine girls are in nursing and business. No offense, of course. There's some pretty hot tomboys at engineering.

      I was talking to a friend about sustainability and how we cannot have energy efficiency without fossil fuels. We said we must find a way to obtain the amount of energy a combustion reaction makes without producing carbon dioxide. Then we started to go into using cold fusion, explosions, natural disasters, and anything else that can create so much energy so quickly. After that, we started brainstorming ways we could store that energy and use it. Ultimately, without carbon dioxide emission, our planet would be saved 😂. There’s so much more but I’d be here forever typing.

    I would also add that one of the awesome things is that through engineering, physics and math majors you get incredible grit. The workload is usually insane and difficult, you will have to fight through witch blood seat and tears to cone out on top with good results, which means that difficult parts of life are easier to handle, like you said, we are all suffering together!
    Not only that, but I am getting better and better at digesting a ton of information in a short amount of time, handling very stressful situations and I learned to embrace seemingly impossible problems that I face.

      Hey William! That’s a great question. For me, what really helps is I take a lot of breaks (and also eat a lot of cookies). And I plan my weeks with some sort of a reward at the end of the week (I.e beer on Friday for a few hours with friends). Also I make sure to take Carmen of myself: exercise, eat well, sleep a lot. I should make a full video about this:) hope this was helpful!!

    I’ve been a mechanical engineer for 12 years. And I can say that it is very rewarding when there’s work. You get to tackle a lot of really interesting problems. You develop a very keen logical sense outside of your job in every day life.
    The drawback I found in engineering is that it can be volatile depending on the industry your in and that could lead to a lot of job switches sometimes and which can be difficult when you are rooted down.
    All in all, I still love engineering. Gives me a rewarding feeling when I solve a complex problem.

    A good video. I am a retired civil engineer. I have known since age 12 that I would be an engineer. Engineering work was fun and interesting. From a year as an Army combat engineer to 10 years as a town engineer shared between 12 small towns I gained a wide breadth of experience. In the 1990s, I gave back to my old university by mentoring senior design projects in bridge design.
    As I've listened to you, I think that you were logical to begin with. Engineering just brought it out. Enjoy your career. Good Luck, Rick

      honestly, after you get past all the math classes (and maybe some engineering classes) there isn't THAT much math. Some parts of engineering have more math than others so you can definitely find a stream of engineering without math.

    Yo, the argument about passing notes between each other is some real bullshit sometimes. There are people that only want to get from you but don't give anything in return ever. If you refuse to give them notes, you are said to be "bad colleague" when in real life you just simply value your work too much to feed the parasite in your class for their pleasure of being lazy.

    • @RiverTechJess

But then he continued to not attend school and asked me for my notes again and I said no. I agree with you in that sense, I value my work so much and I’m not just going to hand it over for free

    After about 10 years working as an electrical engineer, I have became so burnt-out and tired of dealing with arrogant overconfident assholes, and playing the stupid office games, being put under tremendous time pressure, and getting broken crap dumped on me (all the time) that I gave up electrical engineering. It wasn't that the work was too difficult, it was the people who made my career miserable.
    My electrical engineering experience has been extremely competitive. Coworkers would literally waste hours of your time if it could save themselves 5 minutes.
    I never figured out how to crack the "people problem". I considered it to be a lost cause after 10 years and moved on.

      I started out as a systems engineer doing a lot of matlab modeling for communication systems. Then I got into test engineering and hardware testing.
      With each job, I was kind of a victim of my own success. The harder I worked, the more others (coworkers and bosses) would apply pressure (less time, more difficult problems, etc) to see how much performance they could squeeze out. I got tired of being taken advantage of and decided I didn't need to put up with this crap anymore. I basically felt like I was a janitor, cleaning up other people's messes all the time. Work stress was really starting to negatively effect my health and family life. I pushed myself so hard, I began to experience adreinal fatigue, and my immune system was compromised. I was getting sick and felt exhausted all the time. I'm still trying to decide what career path I want to go down next. I can guarantee you, it will not be engineering.

The reason why I want to study engineering is because you get to learn about other interesting things such as thermodynamics; I also used to love chemistry but never studied it at A Level.
    Please can you make a video about how to choose which field of engineering to go into if you haven't already? I thought you did but I can't find it haha. Love your videos! Might show some of them to my dad. My dad really likes Maths xx

    After 3yrs in undergrad I'm starting to regret not choosing a major in the engineering field or mathematics. I really love math and although I don't really love physics as much as I do for math it was still manageable for me back in the days. I even casually wake up in the morning and think about math and how different it would have been if I chose the math or an engineering degree. I came to a realization that I was denying my love for math that now I miss solving math problems. I feel like its too late now though, I'm 21 and just need one more year to finish the degree I am pursuing.

She failed to mention that not all engineering degrees are equally rewardable nor are they made the same. My engineering degrees are from well accredited universities. However, I picked the worst most useless engineering, Civil Engineering with a MS in Environmental. Unless you have a well-paid internship or job lined up after graduation, don’t study engineering. There are so many engineer job titles that pay $50K or less. I make about $80K now, hate my supervisor and job working for the federal government, find my work incredibly dull and tedious and would not recommend it to my worst enemy. The only comfort I get from having chosen engineering at an accredited state university...is that it only cost me $7.5K in loans. If you hate engineering as a student, you will only hate it more as a professional.
