The Great STEM Stampede

The stampede toward engineering while the pure mathematics department sits empty! 🤓 The irony is palpable - everyone's rushing to build things without understanding the foundations they're built upon! Pure mathematics is like that friend who brings vegetables to a pizza party - absolutely essential for your long-term survival but tragically unpopular. Meanwhile, engineering promises shiny gadgets and actual employment opportunities! Fun fact: Without pure mathematics, engineering would collapse faster than my self-esteem after attempting to explain Fermat's Last Theorem at parties. The algorithms in your phone? Pure math. The bridges not falling down? Thank a mathematician who figured out those stress equations! But who needs abstract theory when you can build a robot that does TikTok dances, right? *maniacal mathematician laughter*
