Theory Vs. Practice: The Engineering Paradox
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!

Preparing For The Real World: Ancient Aztec Debugging 101
The eternal paradox of higher education! Student expresses concern about university exploiting them financially, and the counselor's response? "That's completely ridiculous... now let's enroll you in Ancient Aztec Cave Art that's somehow required for your Computer Engineering degree." Universities operating with the logic of a subscription service that keeps adding random content nobody asked for. "Want to code? Great! First master these hieroglyphics from 1200 BCE. It's essential for debugging Java, trust me."

The Ultimate Academic Prank
The ultimate scientific experiment gone wrong! Spend nearly two decades mastering quantum mechanics, organic chemistry, or astrophysics... only to discover the job market has its own laws of physics where your degree equals approximately zero opportunities. That crushing realization when you've memorized the entire periodic table but can't find anyone willing to pay you for knowing what happens when you mix cesium with water. The real hypothesis should've been "Will this education actually lead to employment?" Spoiler alert: results inconclusive!

The $120,000 YouTube Premium Subscription
The economics of higher education, distilled into one perfect joke! This is basically every college student during the pandemic who paid full tuition for the privilege of watching professors struggle with Zoom. $120,000 for a glorified YouTube subscription with mandatory attendance? That's not education—that's Stockholm syndrome with student loans. The real experiment wasn't in the chemistry lab, it was seeing how many students would keep paying premium prices for education.exe running in safe mode.

The Great Academic Pyramid Scheme
The ancient Egyptians built pyramids to last millennia, but this poor egyptologist's career prospects crumbled faster than papyrus in water! The punchline is *chef's kiss* brilliant - studying ancient pyramid builders only to become trapped in a modern pyramid scheme of academia. It's the perfect storm of irony where you need a PhD just to teach others to get degrees they can't use! The academic circle of life, but with more student debt and fewer job prospects than a mummy's tomb raider. Somewhere, Anubis is cackling at this cosmic joke.
