i hate it when....

people ask you about your degree....and when you respond with "im doing a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering" 9/10 people say "so like a mechanic then? you fix cars n stuff"

Mechanical Engineering |= grease monkey mechanic (though it does involve it sometimes)

in the UK..wanna know who the most famous mechanical engineer is?......Kevin Webster.....the grease moneky mechanic out of the popular soap coronation street

great

When I told my friends I'm planning to get a degree in electrical engineering they asked "why do you want to be an electrician?"
