pussies that can handle their drugs

right TDUB?

11/12/2008 7:24:31 PM

interesting.....

11/12/2008 7:24:33 PM

dorks tend to like metal, it's pretty simple really.

and I don't consider myself to be even cool enough to be a dork. I am sub-dork.

11/12/2008 7:24:41 PM

in my experience mechanical engineers either listen to metal or classic rock.

my team was split equally between the two.

11/12/2008 7:24:52 PM

Wait, is this metal music of just metal (like iron, copper, and zinc)? in my experience mechanical engineers tend to like both.

11/12/2008 7:26:06 PM

hahahaha, y'all are talking about music

in that case, i hate metal.

country and classic rock

11/12/2008 7:26:12 PM

^lmfao

yeah, i was being serious when i said wood is for pussies

when i hear the term "metal" i never think music

11/12/2008 7:27:41 PM

haha, probably because you don't listen to it.

11/12/2008 7:28:18 PM

I thought this was about the material metal, too...

If it is, I have more fun on the mill and lathe in the shop than sitting across the hallway from the company execs staring at a computer

If not,

I, too, enjoy listening to Squizz, Octane, Lithium, qriowegj ttkn3o, qwownt,mt6 ,etc

11/12/2008 7:28:50 PM

i listen to metal and classic rock..

11/12/2008 7:36:14 PM

while not a huge fan of the classic rock, i don't mind it one bit.

11/12/2008 7:37:27 PM

mechanical engineers were always the little gothic trench coat wearing bitches in college

11/12/2008 7:39:24 PM

right now i'm metal. hardcore. punk. classic rock.... anything else...

11/12/2008 7:39:48 PM

punk sought to destroy classic rock

11/12/2008 7:40:43 PM

^^^things must have changed a lot since then

weird huh??


imho they would team up agains pop trash now.

11/12/2008 7:41:26 PM

punk would take them both on

11/12/2008 7:42:17 PM

trooo...

its my job to keep punk rock elite

11/12/2008 7:44:12 PM

11/12/2008 7:45:37 PM

i work with a bunch of old chem engs that used to be hippies in the 60s/70s that still trade dead tapes amongst themselves.

it's kinda weird.

some of the highest of the high in IT positions, the shot callers, sitting at meetings with grateful dead coffee cups

at a massive chemical company

it's just bizarre

I think I like ME majors the best. They seem to have the least amount of work (only 60 hours per week), but they still know how to party.

11/12/2008 10:17:06 PM

^industrial engineering majors have less work from what i've seen

[Edited on November 12, 2008 at 10:18 PM. Reason : MEs have such a wide range of classes, that's what i like about it.]

11/12/2008 10:17:50 PM

i mean, hell, i'm learning all this fluids and thermo and stuff kinda like what a CHE might learn, but then i'm learning all this strength of materials like an MSE might learn, then i'm learning a lot of mechanical stuff like vibrations, etc.

[Edited on November 12, 2008 at 10:20 PM. Reason : i love my major lol]

[Edited on November 12, 2008 at 10:20 PM. Reason : lol double post....i just let my thought process flow on tww]

11/12/2008 10:19:57 PM

I had a suitemate who was an ME and in ROTC. He wasn't a slacker per se, but the world's biggest procrastinator. He kept his GPA above 2.5 to stay in ROTC, but that was about it. One time, he got a called stating he scored the highest on a test that most of the class failed. He fucking flipped out. Then we saw State beat the crap out of William and Mary.

Aerospace Engineers seem to have the most positive outlooks on life from what I've seen. These guys are in school for like six years to get a four year degree, but they're set for life afterwards.

11/12/2008 10:24:22 PM

^the work aeros do is insane. NEs have everyone beat though. i don't know how they handle it.

most of them handle it with adderall.

11/12/2008 10:29:50 PM

^ all the AE's i have met are (more) socially awkward and eccentric than most engineering majors and IE's do have an easier major but the jobs they get seem like they would be mostly paper pushing jobs and/or managing people.. but that is just the impression i get. /generalizations

[Edited on November 12, 2008 at 10:32 PM. Reason : but ME's do have a tendency toward metal/rock..]

11/12/2008 10:30:55 PM

eccentric is just a nice way of calling folks weird

11/12/2008 10:32:02 PM

yea

11/12/2008 10:33:42 PM

i picked ME because my dad was/is a mechanic and of course i wanted to do what he did. i wanted to work on shit like he taught me all day. then i realized i was good at school and that turning wrenches didn't pay so great and was generally tough work. so i started thinking about majors and as soon as i heard one with "mechanic" in the title i was like "hell yeah, awesome"

i guess i got lucky that i actually do enjoy what i'm learning

11/12/2008 10:38:22 PM

i would say next to AE and CHEM-E we had the most work... just that we still like to party so only the fraction that had to be done got done...

11/13/2008 8:12:02 AM

ME's get the best attention at parties

I was thinking the same thing... never thought they were talking about music until someone mentioned classic rock

^^ gotta be the mohawks....

11/13/2008 8:29:20 AM

lets show some love to the EE's of the world!

11/13/2008 8:38:56 AM

y?

11/13/2008 8:41:42 AM

haha i love how im already on the list

11/13/2008 12:00:35 PM

well it would have to be a given
