For the next twenty years, I'll sit in a big box called a cubicle. It's like a restroom stall but with lower walls. I spend most of my life hoping the electromagnetic fields from my office equipment aren't killing me. The goal of every engineer is to retire without getting blamed for a major catastrophe. And sometimes you get free donuts just for showing up.
Engineers are funny creatures.
I know because I've dated one for the past six years. He thinks he can fix anything with his brilliant use of duct tape. Sometimes great things like better running engines or faster running computers result from that madness. That's why we need a well-rounded university. Each field serves its own special purpose.
