The Ultimate Social Experiment
The ultimate social experiment: spend thousands on education, dedicate your prime years to mastering obscure knowledge, then discover the job market has a twisted sense of humor. That feeling when your CV full of academic achievements gets less attention than cat videos on the internet. Universities should really include "Professional Application Rejector Dodging" as a required course. The real hypothesis being tested was our patience all along!

It Took 13 Long Years, But I Am Finally In. Never Give Up.
Engineer with a degree: "I want to design revolutionary infrastructure and solve complex problems." Railroad industry: "Here's a divine calling to maintain 200-year-old technology that hasn't fundamentally changed since the steam era." The career trajectory of engineering graduates is the greatest thermodynamic example of potential energy never converting to kinetic energy. Thirteen years of education just to apply the same solutions from 1950. The only innovation happening is finding new ways to pretend you're busy during mandatory safety meetings.

The Pharaoh's Academic Curse
The ultimate academic irony! Getting an egyptology degree, then spending more money on a PhD just to teach others egyptology... making higher education literally a pyramid scheme! 😂 The punchline is absolutely brilliant because it works on multiple levels - the educational hierarchy forms a pyramid shape (few professors at top, many students at bottom), while also connecting perfectly to the Egyptian subject matter. Talk about being trapped in academic quicksand without a hieroglyphic instruction manual! Meanwhile, the pharaohs of academia keep collecting tuition treasure while their graduates search for that elusive tomb of employment.

Principles For Sale: Competitive Salary
Engineering ethics? I hardly knew her! 🚀 Nothing quite like watching fresh-faced engineering graduates suddenly develop amnesia about their "I want to save the world" senior thesis when Lockheed Martin waves that six-figure salary and premium healthcare benefits. Turns out principles have a surprisingly exact dollar value! The internal monologue goes from "sustainable future for humanity" to "how many missiles can I optimize per quarter?" faster than you can say "military-industrial complex." It's the STEM version of selling your soul, except instead of meeting the devil at a crossroads, you're signing paperwork in a corporate office with free snacks!
