Engineering major

1. A major that many college students choose because it sounds cool and because they think they'll be making 100k a year after graduation. Most of them change their minds after failing Gen. Chem I and/or Calc I in the first semester. Those who do graduate realize their mistake when they realize that no matter how talented they are they'll have to start at the bottom for some company making 40k a year and work their way up just like any other hard working person.

2. A major that emphasizes way too much math and physics that will rarely be applied to a real world situation and not enough foreign language study, which would actually be useful.

3. aka Sausage fest.
Freshman Engineer 1: "I'm a mechanical engineering major. I heard they make like 100k to start

Other major Student 2: "Some of them do make good money, but engineering is a alot of work. Are you good at math?"

Freshman 1: "LOL no, I hate math. I'm a mechanical engineering major btw. Wha's your major?"

Other major student 2: Biochemistry.

Freshman 1: "Lame. You should do biomedical engineering. You'll make more money. The world needs more engineers you know."

Student 2: "True the world does need more engineers. Can you speak any foreign languages?"

Freshman 1: "LOL no I'm a mechanical engineering major. Not a lame communication major. Everyone should just learn English if they want to communicate with us."

Student 2: I'm sure you'll get far with that attitude.

Freshman 1: Woah bro, calm down. We got off on the wrong foot. Come to my party tonight and i'll make it up to you. It's an Engineering major only party, but i'll make an exception for you.

Student 2: No thanks, I hate sausage fests.
