How did they disrespect you?Allow me to vent if I may. Today is the first time I felt disrespected at my current job. I knew it was coming, because engineers are fucking in love with themselves. This decision was made completely on ego. Not that all of their decisions aren’t made on ego rather than what works. But this one directly impacted me, and I was made to feel small because of it. They honestly believe that education is a direct correlation of intelligence, and the only thing that matters are the letters after your name. E.I.T., P.E., I don’t give a fuck. The letters after my name are B.A. and F.U. I really miss the oil field. Thank you for your time.
I was a chemical engineering major for a year and a half in college. I never encountered many arrogant ones. I would say they seemed driven. Sometimes, if you're a very smart person (proven by years of academics and standardized test scores), it's easy to fall into patterns of "that person doesn't know as much as me." I'll admit to doing it sometimes.
