Hardest to get a job in maybe

I'm a junior in MECE right now (although not at LSU). I will tell you it's pretty tough. It requires a lot of sacrifice (i.e passing up many nights of going out). The fact that test averages hover in the 30s-50s/100 takes some getting used to as well.
I've been under the impression that Chemical is the hardest.

This guy gets it.

I love when uninformed people say that. Degreed and licensed in it and have had a very successful engineering career so far (can work in any field).
BTW, ChemE is the hardest.

ChemE has more women than any other engineering major at LSU. It's probably the easiest. Just sayin....

Agree. Was at a conference and this guy was talking loud about being an Engineer and his projects, so I asked what kind of engineer and he said IE. Of course my reply was, "Oh, imaginary engineering". He got real quit and left about two minutes latter without saying anything other than muttering something about me being an a-hole.

Wow, you have zero people skills. Congrats.

I started out in ChemE... changed to EE when I took organic chemistry (frick that weird shite). I have deg in Civil (structural) and Electrical. Electrical was slightly harder than Civil and I think ChemE is the hardest then Mechanical. They're all hard and a lot of work.
Don't get me started on real world engineering though.

I'll take an internship if you're offering though.

Well...You're probably an idiot. Comes from upbringing. Your parents are probably idiots too.

I just don't see why anyone would go through all of that tough schooling and tough exams to make a pitiful $90,000/year.
You might as well be a teacher. Teachers get lots of vacation, make $140,000/year and have pension plans while engineers only make $90,000 with no pension plans.

Actually, I have great people skills. Everyone, except for him, thought it was funny.
Sorry you got a degree in IE and thought you were an actual Engineer.

Tough to say. I'd go with EE because of all of the ridiculous math. Those guys are all weird though, so it's probably easier for them than something like ME or CE. Second place would be ME or ChemE

So you're into belittling people in a crowd due to your own insecurities? Got it.

If Real Analysis isn't in the course curriculum then the math is far from "ridiculous". But given that someone chose this career path given much better other options, I bet they could toughen it out through a semester of Real Analysis.

This x10000. The labs are no cakewalk either.
They REALLY want to make sure you know what you're doing before you start working with million-dollar equipment!
