Student debt Memes

The eternal academic rivalry laid bare! While the physicist dwells in theoretical purgatory contemplating the heat death of the universe (which won't happen for trillions of years, so super practical), our chad engineer is out there approximating solutions and actually building stuff that works. Let's be honest - nobody cares about your elegant solution to the n-body problem when the bridge needs to not collapse. The Newton-Raphson method might not be sexy, but it pays for the yacht. Meanwhile, those quarks aren't going to pay off that crushing student debt. As a professor who's watched this drama play out for decades, I can confirm: you can either publish papers nobody reads or drive a Tesla. Choose wisely, undergrads.

The eternal battle between theory and practice in engineering! Poor Adam with his fancy equation (F=3×G×10 M/S^2 AND SIN ΘΘ=1) can calculate the exact force needed to turn on a light switch, but can't find a job to save his life. Meanwhile, Chris is out there making 80K with his hands-on skills and probably doesn't know what sine theta means—but he sure knows how to disconnect Adam's electricity when the bills aren't paid! The academic industrial complex strikes again! College degrees aren't always the golden ticket they're sold as... sometimes the person who can actually fix things wins the day!
