<p>“I was originally supposed to become an engineer, but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.” -Albert Einstein 1918</p>
<p>"Scientists investigate that which already is; Engineers create that which has never been.’’ - Albert Einstein</p>
<p>Translation: “Dude, engineering was too much work, so I turned down the money, and grabbed a government job…30 hour work weeks, with 2 hour lunches…sweet!”</p>
<p>Einstein (a hero of mine), was a die hard socialist.</p>
<p>“I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate (the) grave evils (of capitalism), namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.”</p>

<p>Being smart, doesn’t make you right (or an expert in economics). Quick, someone buy that man a copy of Hayek’s “The road to Serfdom”!</p>
<p>He was an INTP… It’s normal he thought that way.</p>
<p>How many people wear T-shirts with Bohr’s face on them?</p>
<p>Having crazy hair and saying whacky stuff all the time was Einstein’s marketing strategy</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Works for me, too :D</p>
<p>Step 1. Identify a criteria that is existentially important to you , which is reflected in your chosen major’s superiority in this area. </p>
<p>Step 2. Declare your chosen major as the winner in this category, and as such the only major that isn’t worthless, pointless and humiliating. </p>
<p>Step 3. Validation.</p>
<p>An appeal to authority works sometimes too, I guess, but my system is a classic.</p>

<p>“Engineers create that which has never been, using information from scientists who have investigated that which already is.” - Fractalmstr</p>
<p>Fixed. :P</p>

<p>“Engineers create that which has never been, using information from scientists who have investigated that which already is, which was obtained using instruments created by engineers, which was designed using information discovered by scientists…” -boneh3ad</p>
<p>There, now it is fixed.</p>
<p>Well there you go, it takes engineers to fix Einstein’s quotes. Lol.</p>
<p>I think it is good to go now though. :)</p>
