Prestige Memes

The eternal engineering career crossroads! 🤣 Do you become the shining star at Obscure U where you'll be worshipped like scientific royalty? Or sacrifice your ego to be intellectually trampled at MIT/Stanford while crying into your prestigious diploma? Meanwhile, most engineers just take the middle path of decent salary and existential mediocrity. The academic prestige paradox strikes again! It's basically Newton's forgotten 4th law: "For every career decision, there is an equal and opposite regret."
