the capacity for rational thought, drawing conclusions based on observation, the ability to understand the underlying concepts and make connections between a variety of sources, etc are all useful things in the iron world. But most of those things are not traits we acquire through education. They’re more or less inherent with some people and not others. I’ve been capable of a higher degree of critical thought than most of my peers my whole life. I’m also a college dropout. lol.

Same here… its like all of the education they received in college has some how overloaded the portion of their brains dealing with common sense.

It’s the same with accountants.

And doctors.
Having worked daily with MD’s for over five years now, I would pay money to watch a television game-show where medical doctors compete in performing basic everyday tasks. See which of them can successfully buy their own plane ticket, cook something without a recipe, etc. It would be incredible.

I for one support the misanthropic direction this topic is heading in.

Hahaha thanks for giving me a good laugh. I’m a total noob and I thoroughly enjoy laughing at myself.
all honestly the OP made me laugh…. Because reading between the line it seems like he trying to use the fact that he’s an engineering student and that his opinion is far above others. I’m pretty sure my oldest son would destroy him about actual training concepts. Considering that by the time my son gets his undergrad stuff done in two years he will have a major in exercise science and three minors in biology, psychology and fitness. After which he is going into the Physician Assistance program at his school where he wants to go into the orthopedic field. My son makes me look like a special needs individual…

Haha I worked for a place which changed its travel policy so you booked your own travel and were reimbursed rather than having it organised for you. I’m not an MD but I tell ya, it was tough.
Sooo, I’m just a noob myself so not sure how much what I say will matter, I dont see your pics so I’m just going off of what you wrote. What I read was that you trained for a year, stopped training for a year and have trained for six months again, and in that time you put on 30lbs of good quality mass? From everything I’ve seen and heard if you aren’t using drugs that’s not bad at all. I lifted hard and ate like a fiend for 8 months or so, I put on 60 lbs and if I’m lucky 25 of it was quality mass. I’ve had plenty of guys tell me this a million times. This business takes time, don’t be thinking months be thinking years. But again, I’m just a noob

For real, this thread is just hate speech against anyone with a BS degree. Of all the engineers/engineering students tho, civil engineers/students are the worst. just saying.
Fuck I feel attacked now didn’t realize this was about hate on engineers or folks with a BS.
Gonna take it out on the iron mañana.

Worth noting, the above statement is how I pay the bills.
Edit: replied to this before I read through the thread.
Fucking Engineers. Today I got some drawings back from a mechanical engineer, realize he had something wrong (IMO) ask if he talked to the city about something he thought wasn’t to code that I requested. He didn’t, despite saying he did. I meet with the city official today and they have no issues.
Damn engineer thought he knew better than the city official and code book.

x100 Have occasional training partner who’s an oncologist, sky high academic intelligence but lacking a lot of common sense and social graces. They seem to love train-wreck relationships also
Cam confirm, girlfriends dad has been a mechanical engineer for 30 years. sounds like him.

My genetics are so bad, I’m pretty sure my DNA is wound in a single helix. (With apologies to the stupid engineers who can’t possibly understand that joke.) However, that didn’t stop me from developing a spectacularly ‘meh’ physique.
If we’re going to treat genetics as a binary (ie, good or bad), then, other than Ronnie, Lee Priest and a handful of other unicorns, all of us have ‘bad’ genetics.
