physics majors when they’re asked to apply their knowledge (they’ve never been outside of the lab)
If you ask a scientist what pi is, they will tell you it equals 3.14159. If you ask a mathematician, they will tell you pi equals the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. If you ask an engineer, they will say “about 3, but let’s round it up to 5 to be safe.”
As someone with a degree in physics who ended up in an engineering role, I approve of this meme.
Fr, what can you do with a physics degree except teach people physics
Applied physics is a thing. Lots of jobs there. Geophysics, biophysics, engineering physics (yes, that’s a thing…)
What’s the first indicator a scientist tried to build their own experiment using the soldering station ?
The smell of burnt fingers.
What’s the scientist waiting for sitting in front of their own experiment ?
Waiting for the infinite loop they coded to finish after they claimed they didn’t need the engineer’s help to write the code in their experiment.
How many scientists do you need to change a light bulb ?
Theoretically just one, but it can take several until one of them can call an engineer and admit they only know how to change light bulbs theoretically.
What does a scientist call an electrolytic capacitor ?
Acid distribution subsystem.
