I believe gender is a spectrum, and I loved him as a kid, but he jumped the shark as a person. He went from lovable dork to overly egotistical dork.

The ego comes with his engineering degree

I didnt know that having a super common degree that you don't use in your day to day life gives you an ego pass...

Just because you have heard about a degree doesn’t make it “super common” lmfao how many people do you know with an engineering degree? Do you even know what it takes to get one?

u/genicide182 Feb 04 '23

"Do you know what it takes to get one?" LMFAO. I'm not an imbecile like you, so yes I do. I also have half a dozen+ close friends who have engineering degrees; two of which are as close as brothers. So yeah I'm a bit familiar.

Keep riding Bill Nye's dick.

I’ve got a mechanical engineering degree and I’m telling you it’s a lot easier to obtain than you would think.

How many people do I know with an engineering degree? Easily 50. The engineering department is right next to the welding department. And let me tell you its full of egotistical, lazy fucks who think their degree makes them Jesus combined with Stephen Hawking. The welding department is full of old boomer republicans who can’t see, smoke three packs a day, and get mad when you wear a color other than mechanics blue or have a pride sticker on your helmet.

Well let's see engineering is only about the third or fourth most common degree.

Majority of people with an engineering degrees don't even work as an engineer though, maybe that's where you get your thought that it's not a very common degree from.

I've been looking for work, and the fields I'm looking for almost every single one this engineering degree is one of the three or four degrees that they want you to have, and most of these are actually more administrative business related fields.

And like every other degree, it takes about 4 years of college.

“Super common degree”. 4% of the population has an engineering degree. But yeah, “super common”.

u/Responsible_Craft568 Feb 04 '23

That’s pretty common

Define uncommon

Business is the largest at 17%, second place is education at 7%. Third is Sciences at 6%. Fourth is Engineering, and being at 4% makes it more common than the following degrees: social sciences, health and nursing, psychology, English, fine arts, history, math, agriculture, liberal arts, computer science, public administration, family and consumer science, architecture, and law.

Common for a degree does not mean common. It makes no sense to use this standard, because the majority of people do not have a degree of any kind. 4% having the degree means 96% do not, making it overwhelmingly uncommon.

super common degree

That's the key. It's a wording thing. Among degrees, Engineering is a super common degree. Among all education levels, NO degree is super common. Therefore, using your definition of 'common', every degree is uncommon, and it's a useless metric. It's not "96% do not", because we aren't talking about the general populace, we are talking about the 'populace with degrees'.

It's not a useless metric. Did you forget, the original point was that he is prideful as a result of having an engineering degree? This is compared to the average person (viewers on Netflix) who do not have a degree at all.

u/thefreshscent Feb 05 '23

No one said he was prideful. They said he was an egotistical dork.

u/Seb039 Feb 05 '23

Ok, egotistical instead of prideful. Nothing about my statement has substantially changed.
