Engineering Is Really About Talking Shit
The unspoken solidarity of engineering students is perfectly captured here! When a professor starts dunking on non-engineering majors, the classroom transforms into this unified chorus of smug agreement. It's that beautiful moment of disciplinary tribalism where everyone's thinking, "Yes, those liberal arts people are just coloring with expensive crayons while we're calculating load-bearing structures that will literally prevent buildings from killing people." The superiority complex in STEM fields is practically a prerequisite for graduation at this point. Nothing bonds future engineers faster than collectively pretending their problem sets are more important than someone's 20-page analysis of Proust.

The Academic Life Trajectory Charts
These graphs perfectly capture the emotional rollercoaster of different academic paths! Liberal Arts starts high (party time!) then crashes after graduation when reality hits. Medicine is straight-up suffering during school but pays off once you're actually a doctor. Engineering? Instant misery followed by comfortable stability the moment you graduate. The universal language of graphs proves that your major doesn't just determine your career—it plots your entire emotional trajectory!

Big Machines Make Brain Go Brrr
Engineering students finally admitting the truth! No flowery statements about "passion for problem-solving" or "changing the world" – just the raw, sweaty confession that big machines make brain go brrr. The awkward pause before "industrial machinery" is every engineering major during career day trying to sound sophisticated when really they just want to build giant robots. Let's be honest, half of engineering enrollment is just people who never outgrew their Tonka truck phase.

The Brutally Honest STEM Major Flowchart
This flowchart is what happens when career counselors have a mental breakdown. Engineering? Only if you're "good with things." Chemistry? Congratulations on your future as a "fussy pedant." And let's not forget Computer Science, perfect for those who prefer "slow, indirect evil" over the more efficient varieties. The beautiful part is how it nails the existential crisis of every STEM student. "Why do you want to major in a STEM field?" Options include "curiosity" (adorable), "to save the planet" (delusional), or my personal favorite, the dawning realization that STEM was supposed to involve actual plants for Biology majors. After 30 years of teaching, I can confirm this is approximately 87% accurate. The missing 13% is the path where you choose your major based on which department has the least uncomfortable chairs in the lecture hall.
