i hate being an engineering major bc like 80% of the problems people think could be solved by engineers would actually be solved by 1. government regulation and intervention 2. killing all billionaires
#im sorry but an engineering degree is not going to give anyone the power to make sure a city has clean water#or make sure people aren't homeless#or that disabled people are able to thrive#we can design the fuck out of water purifiers and affordable housing and accessibility devices#but most of what we can do is either a bandaid on a larger issue or something we'd need funding and approval to accomplish#stop expecting me to change the world. give me one million dollars or just let me draw air conditioners in peace#im not saying any of those things arent important btw. they're helpful things. they're just not solving the underlying issue#helping but not fixing. its still valuable but its not the only thing we need to think about yk#'then why dont you go into politics' bc i have psychological problems and its not my job to change the world#buildings still need to be built and remodelled and i will do that.
