Why I Became An Engineer
Why did I choose to pursue a career in Engineering? For starters, I reviewed and made educated looks at all my options very carefully. Should I enter Psychology? I don't think so! Arts just didn't draw my attention, and I found Commerce to be a messy business to get into. Then I thought about Mathematics. But that was too much of a tangent of what I really wanted to do. I did experiment with the idea of joining the sciences, but I decided against it. The field of Chemistry was much too volatile. I couldn't live with the decision to join Biology. And I would not for a moment consider entering Physics. The medical field, in my opinion, is also a bloody mess. Kinesiology? I didn't want to make that move. Picturing myself in Midwifery was inconceivable. What about Health Sciences, you ask? Over my dead body! So, finally, after much hum-ing and ha-ing, I decided to enter Engineering, because, well, it was the only faculty that seemed to apply. ERTW! Special thanks to my roommate Adam Simpson (the kinesiologist), for coming up with the insult to his own program. |
"An ENGINEER is one who passes as an exacting expert on the strength of being able
to turn out, with prolific fortitude, strings of incomprehensible formulae, calculated
with micrometric precision from extremely vague assumptions which are based on
debatable figures acquired from inconclusive tests and quite incomplete experiments,
carried out with instruments of problematic accuracy by persons of doubtful reliability
and rather dubious mentality with the particular anticipation of disconcerning and
annoying everyone outside their own faculty."
