The "Closest-Ever Mars" Hysteria-Hype

Now, that last aerospace engineering report, I'm trying to remember,
it said that either 80% or 90% of engineers would not want their
kids to be engineers.

Did they cite any reasons?

(Although being an engineer myself, I can guess.)

Frankly, I don't recall anything very profound there. Sorry, didn't
have time to look up the actual report but I can probably dig up a
reference to it. I think it was also part of the editorial in AIAA
Aerospace America.

Should be obvious to the casual observer. ;-)

There's a reason for the First Law:


---------
Beady's 1st Law of Social Harmonics: "Never let the designer write the user's manual."

What's wrong with engineering? It is a good paying job and a lot more
interesting than digging ditches or selling or a lot of other things. I am
retired but was in the engineering field for most of my life. I really can't
complain. Every job has things to bitch about, but all in all it is a good
profession.

Primarily, that most engineers are incapable of seeing the point/humor
of the First Law.
