Engineering as a profession has very little to do with academic research, so I'm not sure what your point is.

- gaius 11y agoYou've been watching too much Big Bang Theory. Sheldon is supposed to be a parody of a scientist, you know. The point is that everyone who goes into any STEM subject at any level ought to know upfront that there are far more graduates than there are jobs in those fields of any sort including "researcher". It's no secret.
- omginternets 11y ago>You've been watching too much Big Bang Theory. Sheldon is supposed to be a parody of a scientist, you know. What a snarky and strangely dismissive comment! Clearly there's a lot of overlap in the subject matter (it's science, after all), but employment prospects are most assuredly not the same for engineers and academics. You can get a job as an engineer; I cannot. As such, I don't see the relevance of your experience as an engineering student, hence my question. So again, I'm not sure what your point is. I'm open to being wrong, but in order to see my error, I need to first understand your point. It would be nice if you could explain it to me without being disrespectful.
