we had quite a few girls doing engineering in my year (melb chem eng)

including one who we found out was a stripper at Bar 20 at nights...

yeah, would be a hell of a lot more in chem eng than mech id think

not many chicks interested in physics compared to chemistry

Mechanical engineering here.

It's tough, lots of contact hours, hardcore crazy !&@^$!@*%& maths....

Have to graduate with atleast 3months vacation/internship in the industry and do a final year project in your final year on a topic from your professors which needs to be researched and a thesis/ massive report. Mine was like 120pages without the appendix. Well that was from my uni atleast.

Quite a few people drop out in the first couple years, oh and don't think mechanical is anything like becoming a car mechanic. So many people think a mechanicAL engineer is a car mechanic.

Also, girls in engineering is like a needle in the haystack.

Yeah I'm not gonna be doing it haha. Ex is doing it (dat needle in dat haystack) at the moment and I was curious how prevalent the course was amongst car loving people.

Haha they're indeed a rare species in eng. In first year I remember playing spot the girls in eng lectures... surprisingly tough game

But nah there's a few about though from time to time, though. Just when you think about the sheer number of guys, it's not a wonderful ratio xD.

[WGNPWR]

its an even poorer ratio when i went from highschool with 160 girls and 8 guys in my year level to mech eng at rmit

Got dam, what high school? Sure the 8 guys weren't teachers? lol

[HEKT1K]

What you guys don't realise is that Birds is aesthetic as fuuarkk, so such ratios do not deter him.

Yes homo

[WGNPWR]

full srs

year 11

160 odd chicks, 8 guys

few more appeared in year 12, think we had 11 in the end lol

went to tintern

^Rest assured if there is a girl in engineering, I will get her. <3 Ric

What'd you go to Marter Christi or something lol?

Psychology had a massive girl to guy ratio...most classes were 3 or 4 guys and 25 girls. Had its good and bad. Most of the pretty ones had dropped out after 1st/2nd year.

[kaitoukid]

I actually do a double with arts, so I get my dose of girls from there. Generally a pretty good ratio, 2-5 guys out of a 15-20 people tute etc. so far.

Yay for variety

Edit: Btw that's some hs you went to bro, dat ratio!

back in the school days... tintern girls were awesome.

[PENGUYEN]

Why there so little girls in your courses. Civil rmit 1st year atm have at least 20. Most of them aren't the nerdy type. Lol.

[alr33x]

Best feeling when I left. Psych/Marketing

Jelly brah, wish I had the cohunas to get out of this but feels like to much to give up

[UNR33L]

Art people are cray

[Birds]

That's because civil engineering to other engineering is like sociology to psychology.

It sounds like you have a pretty good/successful job though, good reason to stay. That being said, if you've had feelings of wanting to leave, it just gets worse and worse down the track. I feel like I've wasted the last 3-4 years of my life and the only thought I have is why didn't I do it sooner.

yes some of them were

Yeh people would say I'm crazy if I turned my back on my current wicket, but I've really achieved what i set out to do and 8 years in the same gig at only 26 years old is a fair effort I think, just feel like there is more out there for me...

I hope lol

Lots of engineering/electrical types here huh? Good, will be looking for new recruits/graduates this year.

I have worked here as automation/electrical design engineer for last 10 years. Expanding at a healthy rate 55 employees. I have a department to grow.

Then you gotta move on, it will only get worse. No point being in a good job if you're tired of it. I got a mate who is earning twice what I was and he hates his job; it rubs off on his personal life. Truly is the most depressing person you can hang out with. But he refuses to change jobs / try something different because of his own expectations of success and those of his parents! Selling his soul / prostituting himself for the big bucks and yeah, he might be well off for the future but he's wasted so many years of his youth not having a good time.
