[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an English major and I have an MLS - Master of Library Science.   I am head of a unit in a library and I make $175,000 a year....    pffft. [/quote]

Let me guess, you’re 50?

I made that at 30.[/quote]

The thing that is also super silly is that all these English majors have to go get grad degrees in other fields to have any semblance of a decent career. Look at this moron citing his MS in Library Science and that's what his job is. That's not a result of your english degree, buffoon. Nobody in chemical engineering needs to waste another two years of their life and $60k getting another semi useless MS degree[/quote]

Do you feel better about yourself now, jerk? [/quote]

Studying engineering is okay, but it can be mind-numbingly boring to be an engineer.  I know so many engineers who are dying to quit to do something else.  There a few who love it, but many find it tedious.  Often the only way up is to manage and many are not great at that.  The really good engineers have options for more technical specialist roles, but the average ones just basically stick it out or get an MBA and pivot.[/quote]
