You know that's a dude in your pic, right?

>>4121217

That's even better

how was your tenure at that glorified community college?

>>4121217
>mfw I'm still fapping

did you ever practise any own-urine-therapies?

>>4121217
ffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu-

>>4121221
ya well that glorified CC education help me land an $85k year job so fuck you.

How did you hear about it?

What did you study?

What is the job?

>>4121238

I'm just fucking with you, I'm going Fall 2012

>>4121245


worked in the industry prior to getting my degree. I studied civil engineering and my job title is Facility Engineer.

I was a UCLA reject that went to UCSD. I would have been better off going to CSUN. Good job OP.

>>4121255
then you should add that to your OP.
getting a 2.5 from a shitty college gets you nothing. Getting any degree with prior industry experience? Now that's something a company pays attention to. Except now you're thirty and making exactly what any decent 30 yo ought to make.
Now get mad:
I'm 22 and graduating Georgia Tech with a 3.2 with intern experience for 3 summers. Chevron also hired me, but I'm making 94.

>>4121262
also, facility engineers are shitheads that no one respects. Get ready to work for a guy 8 years your junior,
>faggot

>>4121262
>>4121264
you seem upset. Well I'm still happy with my job and my experience. I will never trade my experience for anything.

>>4121262
>>4121238
Did you guys do a 4 or 5 year engineering degree? Also are these salaries quite normal there? Mechengfag here

>>4121265
Not mad.
You seemed like you were bragging, when in fact you have pretty much attained a mediocre job for someone of your age and seeming intelligence. When I'm thirty I'll have 120, 130 easy.
It just pisses me off when faggots who coast their way through life think they have something special when life finally isn't shitting on them.

>>4121266
>Also are these salaries quite normal there

for the oil industry, yes. I know field cordinators and Operation supervisors who break the $120K with no degree.

>>4121271
0/10 fail troll. I'm only 26 btw.

>>4121266
GTfag here, i graduated in 4.5 years. I don't know anyone here who gets out in 4 or less with a chemical engineering degree.
94 is more or less upper middle salary for georgia tech chbe grads. I know a guy who shell basically creamed their pants when they interviewed him: he's getting 108k with only 1 co-op semester and some research experience.

>>4121276
>>4121276
Suck it, top of my wardrobe right this moment.

>>4121271
>arrogant engie faggot detected

>>4121285
Not even mad. I genuinely hate that other degrees don't get paid so much for equal effort. CS types and nat sciences deserve as much as we do. I just dislike idiots like OP.

>>4121285

Oh no, hated on /sci/!!! What will we do?!!?!

>>4121291
why do you hate me? wtf did I do to you? Oh wait you feel you deserve more cause you went to a "better school". I hope all the non engies at your job put you in your place and you learn to respect the field guys more.

>>4121262
hey genius

solve part C of this problem with lol calculus. Oh wait you can't.

>>4121300

He's an autist. Ignore him. Congrats OP.

>>4121304
Enjoy 30k/year solving problems without calculus.

>>4121310
lol can't solve can you faggot

>looks like I've been stump. I should sage now that I can't win this argument

>>4121304
>gt guy here, not the guy who already responded.
I can appreciate the benefits of trig for certain people. I cannot appreciate having to do something in one way but being incapable of doing it another. When in real life will I not be able to use calculus to solve a problem?
Also, continue to enjoy your one-line problem statements, mathfag. I'll stick to real problems.

>>4121326
>>4121310

>>4121328
hows your major in plugging stuff into calculators working out for you?

>>4121335
>>4121310

>>4121335
I already told you. I will be making $94000 at age 22. I think it's working out fine.

>>4121328
>implying you won't use your calculator to solve that very trivial problem.

your in for a big suprise at work when 95% of this shit is unapplicable

>>4121339
yet you can't solve this very trivial trig problem. you're a faggot

>>4121340
I never said I don't make sweet love to my calculator.
I also never said this is truly real world. But it certainly more applicable to the industry than the area of a figure.

>>4121340
>>4121341
>>4121310

>>4121344
yet you can't find the area of this shitty trig problem. Also trig is very applicable and you should know this since you work at a refinery.

>>4121341
Am I? Or are you extremely jealous? Or is it that you're learning how useless people with money think your problem versus mine? Or is it that you knew it all along and still cling to the hope that basic math will get you somewhere in life? Or is it that you really detest kids like me with ambition who wanted to make something for themselves and get to wipe it in your face anonymously over the internet? Or is it all of the above?

>>4121349
I didn't say I couldn't. I'm certain with the right data, which I could easily obtain in the real world, I could solve the problem. Even if *gasp* I have to use calculus.

>>4121298


That pic is hilarious.

>>4121355
lol wat a faggot. This problem doen't require you to use lol calculus nor do you need to physically see it in real life to solve it. Stop being a faggot and use your brain.

>>4121339
>will be
when you actually start your job, you'll realize why we look down on pitiful engineers like yourself. You overvalue money. Its much better to do something that isn't boring.

>>4121360
the irony of that is that me the OP of this thread posted the original. Some body else added the mathematician part.

Ask a guy who just failed every course in his engineering program this semester

>>4121372
which courses did you fail? why do you think you failed? will you try again?

>>4121216

>OP
>Community College
>Engineer
>not Engineer Technician

Oh you technicians, always trying to pretend you're one of us! So cute :3

>>4121378
0/10 see me after class

>>4121362
Ok fine. I find the area of 1/4 of a circle with radius 1.
>1/4*pi*1^2
There are two regions that are above and below the shaded region that have 1-1/4*pi*1^2 units of area. So A with the inclusion of two of the "petals" is
>2(1-1/4*pi*1^2) = 2-.5pi
Getting the two petals is escaping me right now but hey, I'm not in the middle of a basic trig course am I? It's been years, literally years, since I've given shits about something like this that forces me to use archaic math to solve an otherwise simple problem.
Do you not see how useless it is to solve something one way, and scoff at others for solving it another? It doesn't make any sense.

/sci/ - No calculus allowed

How does it feel to know you'll still make less then me?

undergrad in engineering -> med school master race reporting in

>>4121383
Makes no sense.

>>4121376


Wasn't in the right mindset for the workload, fell behind in a course and from that point onwards it was fucking impossible to gain any ground and catch back up without it affecting my other courses and bringing them down. Nine assignments a week with tests/quizzes were too much for me.

I'm going to try again next semester and do one over summer

after hearing about how much finance\ibanking makes, nothing under 200k phases me.

>mfw 24 year olds making 1.6 million a year after bonus in investment banking

>>4121402
I agree, although that sector isn't doing all that great at the moment.
That's why its better just to pick something that isn't boring as fuck. Thus, engineering is excluded.

lol engineering vs math, how about a real problem?
>You should be able to solve this

>>4121382
keep trying will post my solution after yours with pictures too.

>>4121410

>he can't solve a problem that requires highly specific knowledge

>what a dumb ass

>>4121410

>>4121382
hahahaha you failed faggot.

>>4121441
failed, or was trying to remember something I could do 8 years ago?
This is like laughing at a guy who can type 80 WPM but is slow at a rotary phone. Caring about this makes literally no sense to me.
On the other hand, I am the only person in this thread who can solve the problems I posted. See what I mean?

>>4121465
You do realize this is just a thinly-veiled homework thread, right?

>>4121471
I did not realize that. When did it become that?

>>4121405

Raw math isn't boring as fuck? You kidding?

Engineering is the most exciting field that involves large amounts of math. You get to create things and actually see them. Anything theoretical is incredibly boring.

>>4121471
wtf no it isn't you faggot. Here the answer and go away.

>>4121465

lol more engineering TECHNOLOGIST couldn't figure out grade 8 maths

>>4121478
You're just showing off your ignorance. I challenge you to give an example of a hard math problem that you've solved. If all that comes to mind is differential equations, linear algebra, and calculus, then you fail.

>>4121497
actually thats the Georgia Tech fag who's making 94 million a year

>>4121465
>This is like laughing at a guy who can type 80 WPM
>type 80 wpm
>80 wpm
>implying that's impressive
80wpm is shit tier

any engineer worth their salt should be at LEAST 100, if not 120+

every fucking 20something year old can type wpm because they were brought up on the internet

>>4121490
impressive

Guys, just leave the mathfags alone. They'll never make as much money as us, let them have the victory here
>inb4 300k starting
Most mathematicians won't be quants.

>>4121500
if other fields of math were useful, they'd teach them in classes that aren't pure mathematics

have fun raping the planet and being no help to society

>>4121514
most engineers won't be whoring out for oil companies being required to live either in texas or by their oil site in a field that isn't sustainable long term for how many people it employs.

now healthcare- that shit will be there FOREVER

>>4121514
More importantly, why is engineering tolerated on this board at all. Engineering is neither math nor science - the only thing they have in common with this board is having to take basic physics and calculus.

sci HATES the majors that actually make money

>undergrad : engineering wins
>graduate : medicine wins (aka biology)

they're fucking infuriated by the fact that sciences pay jack shit

>>4121529
>the only thing they have in common with this board is having to take basic physics and calculus.

this

>>4121535
I think its the engineers that spend all their time hating on us biologists. They can't stand that people can make money doing something less boring than what they do.

>>4121543
biology pays jack shit at the undergrad level

graduate level money is not comparable to undergrad money very well because you're stuck in school for another 7 years

you're throwing away your 20s for good money in your 30s

>>4121216
what frat were you in?

>>4121529
More importantly, why is this board tolerated on this 4chan at all. /sci/ is neither math nor science - the only thing it has in common with math or science is basic homework and troll posts

>>4121529

Engineers design and conduct experiments just like scientists. We conduct experiments for application while scientists do it to determine how nature works. Any real scientist (meaning not some college freshman majoring in a science like 90% of this board) respects engineers and vice versa.

You what I see more of than non-engineers complaining about money? Engineers complaining about scientists who complain about money.

The latter group dominates conversations here on /sci/. It's almost as if engineers have chips on their shoulders.

>>4121535

>/sci/
>choosing your major based on money

>>4121566
woah woah
there are plenty of real math and science threads
they just manage to be more boring than the troll threads

>>4121566

This so hard. There are few if any real scientists here.

Can't we all just get along?

>>4121581

Yet there are real engineers here?

Assume that is true. It's pretty telling that there are more underworked engineers here than there are scientists.

Scientists are out doing science, and having lives.

Engineers are doing engineering, and some spend their time here.

If you still spend you're time on 4chan after getting a job, you must be the most omege pleb male on the planet.

>>4121595
lol so true. Most of these engineers must have to no life or work for very small shitty companies with small workloads.

>>4121595
>>4121609
>only loser faggots post on 4chan!

>>4121595
>>4121609
There are very few real engineers here, just like how there are very few real scientists here save for a few grad students.

>>4121622
I'm an engineer!

We like to relax and unwind and troll too. We aren't building and engineering 24/7.

>>4121613

butthurt about the truth.

Face it, many of us sciencefags here will be gone from 4chan once we hit postgrad, or get jobs. The proles of the internet (the engineers, IT, and compsci crowd) will still be using the net 24/7, just like they always have since the 80s/90s.

You may eventually be better paid (but underworked); nevertheless, you'll still be arguing with people on the Internet by the time you hit 30 and 40. If you want proof of this, go visit Hacker News or Slashdot or the Stack Exchanges. Plenty of underworked, well paid, forever alone 30-and-40-something engineers on those sites arguing away bullshit that doesn't matter over their perceived e-cred.

Meanwhile, sane non-omega males will be out starting families and not arguing on the net.

>>4121609
or maybe they just dont have to work 60 hour weeks, so after their 40 hours in one week, they relax, just like everyone else?

Honestly if you have such a huge workload as an engineer that you can't relax and dick around once in a while... I'd say YOU have the shitty job, and the guy who coasts through a workweek, still gets paid, and gets to troll /sci/ is living the good life.

>>4121622
I'm just a lazy grad EE. That's why I stick around.

2.75 GPA M.E. Grad here. working as a project manager at a major electric utility... they never even asked my GPA, just where i got my degree from and where I interned during school.

Your GPA only matters for your first job--and even then, a bit of experience is way more important.

>>4121650

>trolling the internet
>the good life
>this is what omega nerds actually believe

>>4121667
Would you rather:

Work 10 hours a day high stress large workload, no free time, have to take your work home with you

or

Work 8 hour day, low stress, spend time laughing at losers online, do whatever you want after 5pm, make just as much money as above?

>he actually thinks working harder for the same money is 'rewarding'

>>4121647
>implying science grad students aren't posting online because they're working 100 hours a week on their research\phd

the same reason med students are nowhere to be found online, but at least they make good money when they're done, and are respected in society (unlike science major nerds)

>>4121402
it's really not, every bank is cutting employees, my dad majored in business minored in accounting and works in one of the largest us bank headquarters and is now supervisory principal (hope thats the right princishit) with over 15 years and he still doesnt make six figures. but benefits are cool *shrugs* I'm an electrical engineer through and through. I heard the jobs are always open, but i have an internship for now, still full time student
