Today, I went for a job interview for a building position at a retail store. They saw on my application that I was good at math. They asked me what the circumference of a circle is. Being nervous during the interview, I accidentally said the area of a circle. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, it appears that I spent three years of my life studying for a degree to find myself driving around looking for potholes. That's literally my job. I didn't even study roading, my civil engineering degree is in designing structures. FML

I'm 15 and I know the area of a circle=pi r2 and the area of a sphere=3/4 pi r3

I think that volume is wrong. Integrating a r^2 which is present in a circle to get the r^3 in volume would give you a 3 in bottom, not the top.

Hey, what did the engineer say to the tool maker? "Would you like fries with that?" Point in case once again that 99% of engineers are a waste of space... But congrats, you are NOT the 1%. #occupyfuturemcdonaldsenployee

Today, I'm a graduate of a wealthy public school in So Cal. It astonishes me how many of my classmates don’t see a problem with today’s politicians, or gas, rent, and food prices. I was given shelter but had to earn everything I had growing up. I knew I wasn’t crazy though they acted like I was. FML
