I stuck with it because I didn't realize my true distaste for it until my senior year, at which point I had so much committed that the cost of continuing and finishing the degree was lower than the benefit derived from attaining it (i.e. the increased respect from employers, and satisfaction at having completed the degree). When I went into Yale, I thought I would enjoy it and thought that the benefits of "learning to think like an engineer" would be worth it. I never planned to become a professional engineer; I simply thought it would be a worthwhile academic endeavor. In retrospect, though, it is clearly lacking compared to humanities and social sciences.Jay wrote:

Perhaps majoring in engineering when you attend a less prestigious school is a prudent move where economic surety after graduation warrants sacrificing your experience and intellectual development. It's certainly not the case at Yale.
Why you would half-ass an engineering degree with a non-ABET version is beyond me. It's not about money, it's about being able to get your damn license. It's about being able to sign your own drawings and not being stuck as an operating or low level design engineer the rest of your life. No one in this industry gives a flying fuck about your tie pin either. That shit only awes morons with humanities degrees from state schools.
Here's the big newsflash for you though: learning doesn't stop when you leave the classroom. There's nothing preventing you from taking an interest in philosophy or literature or whatever else you take a liking to. It becomes infinitely easier to pursue those interests when you're making a paycheck larger than that of a barrista, so I guess you're fucked. $160k down the drain. Too bad.
I am aware that learning doesn't end when you leave the classroom, but your undergraduate education is a unique and formative four years where you have easy access to the best academics in their respective fields. Reading a philosopher is one thing, but having an expert/other bright students to discuss and argue with greatly enhances the knowledge you gain. Sacrificing the opportunity of an undergraduate liberal arts education for what is a highly glorified form of vocational training is a painful pill to swallow; that is why engineering culture has developed to glorify itself and denigrate "lesser" courses of study. It's simply a coping mechanism for the sad truth that they wasted four years of their life being miserable. I am not immune from this; I openly look down on humanities majors, even while I'm secretly jealous that they took better classes. Like I said, had I not also majored in something else, I would be completely consumed with regret.
In the end, though, I didn't entirely waste four years and 160K (my family spent less than 35K on my education). I took enough humanities/social science classes to ensure I have reasoning and writing skills, and I'll still have a Yale degree - I am not facing the specter of minimum wage employment. Maybe I'm simply lucky that I got to attend a prestigious university and had the choice to major in something else without destroying my economic future. That doesn't change the reality of an engineering education, or the means by which engineers suppress it.

I'm mechanical engineering. Your response proved my point - the core classes of an engineering degree have little value other than teaching you how to approach a problem. That's useful in a job environment, I suppose, or at home when you have a broken gutter, but its not the point of your undergraduate education. It seems pretty clear to me that studying engineering ruins your undergraduate experience by making it miserably hard while depriving you of the critical thinking and writing provided by the humanities and social sciences.
I'm writing this as a senior who is three weeks from graduating from Yale; I think its a fair time to reflect on the nature of the engineering study. I would be truly depressed and completely (rather than partially) destroyed by regret had I not decided to do the less intensive engineering track and major in something else as well.

As an engineering major I am eminently qualified to make assertions about the nature of an engineering education. It teaches you to approach problems systematically and logically - useful indeed - but it exercises none of the intellectual faculties; the engagement of ideas, the ability to read and analyze, to craft an argument and express it eloquently. Engineering is painfully focused on the practical, on the details, on the minutiae of any situation. While engineering is essential to society, studying it amounts to depriving oneself of the opportunity presented by a proper liberal arts curriculum. I believe every engineer realizes this at some point in their academic/professional career (I recognized this at the start of this year) and then copes with it by assuming the defensive position of engineering superiority. I would be despondent about my Yale education had I not paired engineering with another major.
Engineers are so vehement in proclaiming the preeminence of engineering because they are trying to oppress the sad reality that they spent their college education on a course of study that didn't require the broad and abstract thought necessary for true intellectual advancement.

This needs a serious AU-only disclaimer. I just watched the sun descend beneath the clouds on the horizon, and I don't think it is going to resurface before the transit is over.

My main staples of food at the moment are:
Breakfast: oats, whey, milk (tastes like chocolate)
Shakes: one scoop of whey, 300ml of milk. Post workout I add to this 40g of dextrose.
Stir fry (dinner/lunch): 100g brown rice (weighed uncooked, then boiled) stir fried with a small amount of olive oil, brocooli, capsicum and 200g of chicken breast then with salt reduced soy sauce for flavour.
Rice patties: 100g brown rice (weighed uncooked, then boiled) mixed in a bowl with one sachet of salt reduced tomato paste, one 175g tin of tuna (no drain tin), chopped broccoli, 3-4 eggs and some cracked pepper to taste. Heat a fry pan to hot with some olive oil then spoon in a heaped tablespoon of the mixture to make a pattie. Repeat as necessary. Cook both side for approx 3 minutes a side. Let cool for a couple minutes once done and add a little salt to taste on top. Once cool enough to pick up, eat.

mmm. so old four and five stories residential buildings can be arranged around staircases accessed externally. apartments or "suites' are then attached to the stairwell at landings, and the system is collectively called entryways. thus you can have suites with entryways.Uzique wrote:

It's simply a popular choice to have as a "drinking to enjoy" beer rather than a "chug vaguely malt flavored water" beer. I've tasted it and didn't think it merited the popularity. The comparison is fair, because given a limited amount of money and stomach space, I think an american ale is a much better choice. Naturally since I'm under 21 I'm a noob and have only tasted these beers; those were my impressions.Uzique wrote:

The statutes protecting public order are perfectly acceptable, because the whole point of a government is to restrict freedoms enough to have a functioning society, and letting individuals impose their will shouldn't be tolerated. The issue is that the statues consider the racist tweets to be threatening people and disturbing public order; I don't understand how they can be construed as anything other than the ranting of a drunken racist. He wasn't openly exhorting violence against black people, nor were the tweet direct threats to Muamba. The prosecutor himself described the comment as vile and abhorrent, and that the original detainment reflected public outrage. In essence, I don't see how the government needed to protect anyone here, because the comments simply weren't threatening.
It's obviously a matter of personal philosophy, hence why the argument is pointless.

Seems like if your stars pick up yellows in the round of 16, you ought to have them get a second in the next game (second leg of the 16 or first leg of the quarterfinal) so they are clear for the semis and final.
Okay, thanks. I was just curious because Bayern had four players in danger, and then five once they switched Schweinsteiger out with Muller, which seemed like a lot.

I was just pointing out that the American understanding of Montesquieu's philosophy might be slightly different than a British understanding because our political systems are not identical. (America, after all, doesn't jail people for typing stupid things while drunk). The judiciary in America is appointed by politicians in the executive branch, confirmed by the legislative branch, and rules on laws passed through the collaboration of both. American's consequently consider the government to be a solitary entity comprised of these three elements, instead of just the executive branch. So while he clearly doesn't understand how the UK governs itself, (and neither do I, admittedly) that doesn't mean he doesn't understand the separation of powers.
