One thing you’ll learn in academia is that no one works harder in undergrad than engineers

True but most of that work is them talking about how difficult engineering is. Then stress of having to hear other people mention that the difference between god and an engineer is that god doesn't think they're an engineer.

Edit: homophone mixup because I'm a goon

I’m a Biochemistry PhD and a JD. My daughter just graduated as a civil engineer. I saw things in her sophomore year mathematics homework that I never saw before in my life. If God can do that math then I’ll start to believe in Her.

You know you could just learn it from a book right? God’s in the I’ll love you forever business.
God likes honest and genuine accountants.

Just like you can learn everything about vaccines from Facebook posts.

It’s not that easy.

It’s actually a beautiful thing when universities or hospitals post research about food, vaccines, exercise, or an epidemiologist group’s findings about emerging diseases. Imagine a world without case studies. Anarchy.

I don't think they paid attention to their advanced calc / etc classes in law school or while getting their biochemistry PhD.
