The eternal engineering perception gap. Friends picture us managing explosive refineries, mothers fantasize we're Iron Man, society imagines we're building railroads like it's 1890, and the government suspects we're designing weapons. Meanwhile, we think we're Scotty from Star Trek solving impossible problems with technobabble. The reality? Just drowning in paperwork and documentation that nobody will ever read. Engineering degree: $80,000. The look on people's faces when you tell them you mostly fill out Excel spreadsheets: priceless.
