Jerarquías

In my last post I was going to further explain the hierarchy but I got distracted after feeling some wind though my feet. Here goes:

The majors:

• Engineering:

  • Mechanical: 98% men; rowdy students; not stupid but not bright either

  • Chemical: 70% women; studious students; not bright but not stupid either

  • Electric: frustrated electronic engineers (according to electronic engineers)

  • Electronic: the most intelligent of them all (according to them)

  • Computer: the most intelligent of them all (according to them); the weirdest of them all (according to everyone else) [Editor’s note: I almost studied this major, but then my dad told me this career had a lower glass ceiling than all the other engineers and he mentioned Production Engineering, which I had never heard until then. As an adult I have thought two things. First: maybe my dad thought I should study the fake engineering, which means that he thought I was stupid and/or pretty. He doesn’t think I’m pretty, so he probably wanted me to be a fake fake engineer, so a real one. Second: maybe the stupid one was my dad. Can you imagine how rich I would be if I would have studied computer engineering?]

  • Materials: frustrated production engineers (according to production engineers)

  • Production: fake engineering; most competitive program to get into, which should mean that they are the smartest of them all, but remember, they secretly get different exams that are easier, so it doesn’t count

• Applied Sciences:

  • Chemistry: frustrated chemical engineers

  • Mathematics: frustrated engineers (any kind)

  • Physics: frustrated engineers (any kind)

  • Biology: frustrated doctors

• Other:

  • Architecture: good looking, pretentious

  • Urbanism: frustrated architects
