I assume there's a few engineering students on here, so I'm actualIy curious. Do you guys actually think your degree is difficuIt or are you at the stage where you realise anyone could do it?

Medfag in residency here. This is correct, you don't actually get to apply much knowledge until several years later when you are practicing.

Even then, for most specialties a huge part of the application is learning to hone your intuition and pattern recognition (which you will do by seeing patient-after-patient-after-patient).

Only MD-PhDs and a small subset of specialties (things like Nephrology or Clinical Genetics), actually do any hard thinking. The rest of us just grind.

In my country the hardest engineering are regarded as: nuclear > eletric > civil = mechanical
And the easiest are environmental > industrial/production> products> "food"/alimentary
Food and environmental are almost always regarded as joke tier engineering.
Which of them should I do guys?
I'm almost decided to go to civil

Wrong again friendo, engineering isn't memorization, and it isn't plug-and-chug problem solving either. You get taught the fundamentals from your professor, get to exercise them with the problem sets, but the questions you must solve on the test are unlike any you've ever seen before. It's not like solving a math problem where you follow the recipe of steps until you get to the solution. You have to actively think of a solution which culminates everything you have learned in the past as well as what you've learned in the class itself. I appreciate your post, but if you are trying to correlate advanced problem solving skills to playing a video game you must be retarded

Dr. House is an asshole. If he existed in real-life he'd soon find himself ostracized, probably end up working in some small hospital out in Bumfuck N.D.

>Which of them should I do guys?

Decide which one you think you can realistically handle and not flunk out during (assuming you pass through the worst most depressed state you've entered before, but imagine it happens while in college).

Then try to predict how good the job market for that type of engineer will be, when you graduate. For instance, Food engineering or product engineering might not have much prestige, but if the job market is robust and pay is good, still might be worth it.

Last of all, consider what it is you enjoy learning about, what you enjoy doing, as a personal preference.

Well, I suppose you could get away with acting like Dr. House if you go into surgery, especially if it's something high-end like neurosurgery. Definitely some malignant personalities in that field.

medfag here
please stop acting like we are better than other people, especially those not in our line of work
this is unseemly behavior from a prospective 'medical professional'
some of the greatest physicians i've had the pleasure to learn from were humble, empathetic and understanding
plus, you will get no respect and your days will be dreadful when you realize how difficult life is with every functioning member of the team who are not physicians turn against you, and they definitely have power in numbers

I matured and learned enough in those 4 years to know the bitter truth of adult life.
You know what i trully like? Getting buttfucked hard by bearded manly men. Sucking dick until my mandibles hurt. Sleeping all day with no responsibilities at all. That's what I like. Unfortunately I can't make a living out of that.
"Major in something you like" is like a child's dream. Maybe one in 1000 manage to do it. Most of us will have to settle down and major in something that will give us a steady job and a salary. Then we can derive pleasure and happiness from the fruits of our work. Not the work itself. That's the sad truth of adult life that I took too long to understand.
Not all of us, specially in a time/country like mine, can afford to dream.

Kek, I forgot about the Krebs cycle as soon as I knew they were going to stop bringing it up in exams. If you know it then fine, as long as it doesn't get in the way of knowing how to treat MIs or Sepsis or actual stuff that you see when you work.
