Hey kids, consider a career in engineering! Your goals and results are easy to quantify. You'll hold the device in your hands and it will work.
The laws of nature are harsh, inflexible, and perfectly fair.
You'll also enter an industry still dominated by men who act like they're in the 1950's.
Maybe that's easier to deal with if you're personally unaffected.
Unless of course, you have some sort of condition that makes you sensitive to injustice.
Same with computers except if you're AuDHD you get to multi task while hyperfocusing, and can dig into a new area of tech when you switch partial fixations
Can recommend, pairs perfectly
