Paper pushing and excel jockeying
But it’s ok because you’ll be handsomely paid. Just hope your manager doesn’t actually understand or no what you do.

Easy to moderately difficult work, but insane amounts of it.

>you’ll be handsomely paid
Ha, good one.

im gonna work at nasa and go to space like i always dreamed as a kid right?

Ha nope!!
Study aerospace engineering instead if that's what you want

You'll work on air conditioners and vacuum cleaners.

Hey now, he will enjoy some fun times in his basic af math classes at least and he will have a sense of pride within himself for passing them only to realize that he will never do anything as complex ever again.

you guys are rude
if I shouldn't do mechanical engineering then what should I do

Get a mcjob. It cuts out the middleman since majoring in STEM leads to it anyway.

You should pick up some trade and make your parents proud with honest craftsmanship... and that's awesome.

Trades are not for high IQ people.

That's where you're wrong. You'd fit right in, friend.

Most smart people would be bored to tears by manual labor. That's just the way it is.

desu, just so I don't pull your leg, I actually was a toolworker for some years before I became a physicist.

Are you fucking retarded?

Do it but just have realistic expectations. I hear working with startups and smaller companies can be much more rewarding in terms engineering. Also consider other branches of engineering. And if you want to be on the front line of innovation you need to acquire a doctorate and overall be a genius.

Maybe try to build a good network and start your own company with pals.

trades aren't just manual labor, you acting have to know a lot of shit
even worse, you have to know how to do shit
as a mostly academic person it's not my cup of tea

>he fell for the engineering meme
Engineering is boring as SHIT

>Literally 2018
>Not doing mechatronics and building robots all-day nigga

It's like you guys WANT to kill yourselves

Expect lots of your cohort to be gearheads and talk about working on their cars

unemployment

This. Stick with it and don't fall for any unskilled labor memes

im doing mechatronics and it makes me wanna die

I started out on the mech.eng studies, now I work for a company constructing and installing subsea platforms. AMA if you have a real question.

You will be designing different thickness discharge plates for scroll compressors and testing them, then they'll hire an Indian to does your job for $10/hr and let you train him before they let you go.
