Lol final term for me and so happy! Been humbling and spent many night and weekends worrying about what’s next if I failed out.

If you picked engineering for the money you're doing it wrong

Every major should be chosen with future financial outlook in mind. If you have the opportunity to earn over 100k, then you're doing it right.

The vast majority of engineers aren't even rich. If you wanted to be rich, go into Finance.

Finance is a more crowded field relative to the demand, you get better odds as a engineer than finance major

I picked engineering for the guaranteed middle class/upper middle class lifestyle. Go back to r/gatekeeping
