I majored in Electrical Engineering because it will guarantee a monotonous job if I manage to graduate.

Engineering is amazing.

One who often finds himself in the middle of the battlefield collecting metal and building machines (such as teleporters) to help ensure victory. Arch enemy of the spy. Common phrases include; "Teleporter goin up" "Sentry goin up" and "SPY SAPPIN MY SENTRY!"
You: Hey engineer, keep checking your back. There's a spy around.
Me: Thanks, HEY, SPY SAPPIN MY SENTERY!
Me: Thanks, HEY, SPY SAPPIN MY SENTERY!

Someone who takes the view that if its broken it should be fixed, if its not broken it needs to be taken apart to find out why, theoretically to make future designs not be broken, really to break it so they can fix it.
In general have advanced math and science skills, engineers solve practical problems and design things, not to be confused with scientists, who discover things, or workmen who make things.
The scientist discovers a new material and its properties, the engineer uses this to design a new building, the workman makes the building.
Often engineers have trouble socializing, this is because they speak and think in numbers, and have tendency to "mental multi-task" i.e. Halfway through a conversation they will devote half their brain to designing a better sort of person to talk to.
Whatever it says, if it doesn't have a degree, its not an engineer, its something that wants to feel important.

A professional with extensive mathematical and scientific skills. Engineering has many different types of careers: civil engineering, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and so on and so forth.
They are underpaid when compared to other fields such as medicine. That isn't to say that doctors don't deserve those massive paychecks. A medical mistake can kill one person, but an engineering mistake can kill hundreds and thousands of people.
Engineers have heavy burdens to carry, and should be respected. Everything around you was designed by an engineer.
