the American model is retarded, I think we all agree on that

but education should be something you need to work to get, not just "lmao I got a pussy in the genetic lottery, give me degrees"

we still need millions of actual workers, people who build houses or shit

I am an engineer and most of the women I worked with in uni are pretty average.

you need a handful of engineers but a few buses worth of workers

and not everyone is smart enough to get a degree

@Cole random wisdom from my brain : Snails breathe through their foot.

TIL

Thinking about buying a crossbow.
Should I spent $150NZD (+150 shipping) on one and then upgrade later, or should I spend 800NZD (+150 shipping) and get one that will last?

buy a basic one to find out if it's a hobby you're willing to invest in

Am already part of an archery club an own several bows.

or buy the expensive one and then chuck it on eBay if you don't like it lmao

I am buying it off ebay lol.

also relating to the twitter engineering feed

cause the problem sure as hell is the fucking test exams

can you hunt a rabbit @Aqualiteking

@Aqualiteking you must be lying, /g/ said women in stem are all lazy cunts who leech off of their male colleagues...and then won't even have sex with them!!!

its more that the ladies rather go to better fields than engineering

<:pepelaugh:615974280706129941>

better fields like... gender studies

<:pepelaugh:615974280706129941>

with lowering the exam bar they just generate students who apply to anywhere even if they dont have passion for it

I would always like to have one girl in our group projects so we could task her with writing the report. 😂

and drop out midway

"writing" the "report"

@Tervy very true. My mechnical engineering cohort started with 30% females (30+), and in the final year there were only 5 girls left.

Most transfered into Civil

tho given about 50% of you dropped in first 2 years anyway ?

:D

like any engineering field ever

i have been tempting (due how shitty our teachers at ME are) to switch to Electrical system design & engineering buuut i bet its just same bullshit in different package

I think there were 140 in the cohort in year 2, and 90 of us in final year. Our uni was pretty good in getting people the support they needed to graduate

and i already have done it as work and have just lower tier automation engineering papers from it

none of this new bullshit

my support would be : actualy fucking teachers fucking teaching up to date stuff

and following the fucking standards

Shipping companies are stupid and gay
