A classic question: what does a engineer do?

This is "Dilbert" from last Sunday Paper Comic Section :

Title: Career Day
Place: high school classroom

Teacher: "Class, today Dilbert will tell us what a career in engineering is all about."

Dilbert: "My job involves explaining things to idiots. Then the idiots make decisions based on misinterpreting what I said. Then it is my job to try to fix the massive problems caused by the bad decisions. Eventually, rumors overwhelm facts, and I give up. In the final phase, I assign blame to an unpopular coworker. So whatever you do if life, don't be unpopular."

Teacher: "Don't listen to him!"

Dilbert: "Said the unpopular teacher."



Witty comic. Whatever. This morning, I walked out in the middle of EE20 lab. Tedious material. Nerdy students. I couldn't take that anymore.

I then went to Doe Library Main Stack. I sat there, took out my iPod and started listening to my favor hymns. All the depressions were gone. It's a bright new day again. Praise the Lord.
