Would you redo becoming an engineer?

[canadagoose]

With the benefit of hindsight, I would not.  I would become some kind of profession that revolves around axes and cutting down trees.  I love axes.

Why axes?  Using a power chainsaw is much faster.  I have a 16 inch gas powered chainsaw that I use to destroy trees growing next to my house on a regular basis and I know I would not want to be swinging an axe hundreds of times to do that.

True.  The axe is generally a 2.5 LB used for wedges to force a certain direction of fall.

Never. I have always wanted to become an engineer. It started with a head injury.

Certainly not an English major.

I've used an axe as an engineer*.  Just sayin' :wacko:

*Actually just the handle, but close enough.

Until proven otherwise, *I* am the resident *actual* English major on EB. All hail my grammarian hammer. Gramhammer?

I beg to differ good sir. We already have a resident grammar specialist. And he goes by the name of @ptatohed. You might want to confer with him first as he may have some available positions that need to be filled. :thumbs:

This is absolutely correct.  The rules are simple actually.  Your spelling, grammar, diction, punctuation, and use of verbs, adverbs, nouns, pronouns, proper nouns, adjectives, and past-participles should be 100% correct 100% of the time in thread titles and at least 95% correct 90% of the time in the body of a post.  Some additional forgiveness is allotted for those with English as a second language (but not much).  Punishment for breaking these rules can range anywhere from light razzing to full blown tormenting.    

I could go on 'alot' more but that is a whole 'nother' story which 'supposebly' should be saved for another time.

What about those of us living in our second English-speaking country? Gotta use the Queen's English here...

Light razzing.

Sweet as, bro! Bob's your uncle!!

I still have no clue what I want to be when I grow up. I didn't go into engineering for the love of engineering, but for the stability of it. I would probably go into the biology field or sports physical therapy. Except physical therapy would require actual studying in college since it is more competitive to get into.

 

[Supe]

Nope. 

I'd have gone into business with some of the kids I graduated with who opened a successful fab shop doing rock crawler type work and parts sales.  Would have piggybacked off of that and covered the race car side of the spectrum. 

If not that, then I'd probably take a hard look at gym ownership.
