Nowadays no one uses their
common sense. Or as I’ve heard it before, “sense just aint common these days.”
With the world being so social media driven, it is so easy for false
information to be placed in our heads. Apps like Twitter and Instagram, harbor
all types of lies, rumors, and just complete utter nonsense. It works even
better because the less we know about a specific topic, the more likely we are
to believe any rumors that have been created. So how does this affect
engineers? As of now, the most popular misconception
that is most common around engineers is about how hard the actual major is. Many high school students already have no real idea of where they want to go with their lives. Since engineering is already being depicted as a hard major, many students may be scared to commit. As
a result, most people tend to stay away from the mechanical engineering aspect
of college. Even though, Truth be told, engineering is one the hardest college majors to take.
Yet engineering is not like any other regular major, there are numerous
benefits from acquiring a degree which include: an amazingly high entry level
salary, plenty of career openings, and long lasting careers.
I really enjoyed the whole common sense discussion. Its funny how much people lack in common sense these days, and how a good majority of information that is thrown at us is complete garbage. It didn't really make sense to me that you went on to say that this common sense aspect is unimportant to the world of engineering, it seemed to be a little off topic.
