There are years that ask questions and years that give answers.

Engineering education

Especially Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil
Does more than teach technical skills.
It transforms the way you think.

You spend part of your day working alongside technicians and labourers, solving real-world problems. Then you walk into meetings with executives and MBAs, translating those same realities into language they understand.

Few professions force you to operate across such different worlds.
It makes you a better problem-solver, a better communicator, and a more grounded person.

Personally, if I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose Electrical Engineering without a second thought.

When you wanna quit your job but it took 6 months 444 applications and 3 in interviews to just get this one

The distance between your house and your job really affects your MENTAL HEALTH!

[em m0shouris @emm0sh]

the things that make you good at engineering make you bad at interviewing. specifically: a low tolerance for bullshit

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

I love people who are intellectually omnivorous.

The kind who can discuss folklore, black holes, bird migration, poetry, and grocery store pricing in a single conversation without getting lost.

Competitive exam grind sucks the soul out of a young middle-class Indian. Regardless of whether they crack it or not. Very few people retain their whimsy after crossing that journey.

[Shanaya 🍂 @TweetMePlis]

Competitive exams completely grind down your whimsy and confidence. You’re left devoid of oxytocin while your cortisol and stress hormones spike, resulting in constant self hate and the feeling of lagging behind in the rat race. Especially UPSC, a total soul sucking exam.

[Nida @onodimple]

People do it one time and donot get the courage to again sit in the same exam. Imagine those who take multiple attempts and spend years only to hear you "gave up or wasnt competent enough"

[Arjun* @mxtaverse]

Competitive exam preparation is a soul sucking, trauma inducing experience that I wouldn't wish even on my worst enemy.

You need a couple of years just to recover if you pass. A lifetime is not enough to recover if you fail.

Competitive exam aspirants have a kind of sadness in their face which you will find nowhere

[Lina @linaamcr]

esta es la crisis de los 25? odio mi trabajo pero estoy infinitamente agradecida con el. Me siento sola, estancada y que estoy viviendo una vida que no quiero, pero al mismo tiempo soy consciente de mis tantos privilegios lo que solo me hace sentir peor por sentirme mal

[carbonbuns @carbonbuns]

i feel silly for grieving. ppl experience such major losses in their lives. i feel silly for feeling so profoundly sad over my broken heart. i dont wish to dismiss my pain, it is very real and hurtful. but i feel so silly, like my grief doesn’t compare to the more “serious” kinds

[Nithya Shri @Nithya_Shrii]

The 9-to-5 system should be completely abolished. Workdays should be 10-3 or 9-2. There’s no reason people should spend most of their lives at work. Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. This is why so many people hate their jobs.

[Román @Zmei_Hhsss]

The most intellectually gifted person in my applied math masters program ended up working for the university doing research for pennies. The stupidest, vilest, ass kisser ended up in a large investment bank. This is a very common trajectory.

[grace @gracefishlove]

Sorry about the mean things i said when i was right

Losing a job is scary.
But loosing your health and peace of mind because of a job is scarier.
Let’s not romanticise toxic corporate culture

[Jelena @Feralfairy13]

I feel the most normal when I’m doing some really boring, peasant like task. Spent the day pruning tomatoes, pulling weeds, and laying brick. Was very therapeutic and grounding

[Neet @neet_sol]

You stop taking boomers’ opinions on the job market seriously when you realize they got their first job by walking in with a firm handshake
