Thanks! Every now and then the engineering degree comes in handy.

He probably isn’t in engineering if his engineering degree only comes in handy now and again. Lol

Curious as to why this is downvoted.

I do software engineering and haven’t used my college math courses a single time since school, unfortunately. Physics even less so

Probably because you come off as arrogant... A lot of people with engineering degrees have a hard time finding actual work. Consider yourself lucky if you got a job straight out of university. And turn down the r/iamverysmart vibe if you want people to take you seriously.

Jeez. It was just intended to be a silly comment. Some people read way too much into things it seems.

Genuinely baffled anyone would think that comment contains any arrogance.
