Girls, get yourself a Engineer as an ideal husband.

I happen to chance upon this facebook note, done especially well by Shaocong Najip Ang, in NTU EEE. So all credits to him! :)


Many people think that engineers are really boring people and would probably choose other professions when looking for a potential lifetime partner, which is a really big mistake. We'll first look at a few examples of non-engineering professions:

DOCTOR
Supposedly, all women are after a Doctor, so don't expect your relationship to last more than 5 years. Eventually, he'll run off with some nurse from his office, or one of his young women patients that is pretending to be sick. He'll wait until you are stuck with a few kids to do this. This is not a problem with your Engineer husband. He had a hard enough time meeting you. It is unlikely he'll ever meet another woman in his profession.

LAWYER
Do you seriously expect an honest, trusting relationship with someone who gets paid for lying? Once again, this is not a problem with your Engineer spouse. He doesn't have enough social skills to lie convincingly. An additional drawback to marrying lawyer is when the divorce happens you will get nothing.

SALESMAN
See honesty segment under Lawyer. Plus, he will be traveling to trade shows, etc. where he will be in the company of other equally trustworthy individuals. The company that your Engineer husband works at will keep him in a cage, often called a cubicle, until he is ready to go home to you.

TEACHER
The only reason he entered this profession is so that he could be surrounded by newly post-pubescent girls who idolize him. He'll be in jail soon, and then you'll have to look for another man.

Think... of all the recent scandals relating to school kids and NIE...opps.

MINISTER
See Teacher and substitute the word “girls” with “boys”.

HAZARDOUS PROFESSIONS (FIREFIGHTER, CONSTRUCTION WORKER, ETC.)
Your husband, if he is not dead by some accident, will likely be crippled with a back injury, etc. just about the time you are at your sexual peak.

The only hazards that your Engineer husband will face is losing his eyesight by staring at the computer terminal for too long. This hazard actually has some benefits. For one, he will not notice that you are getting older, since you will be a blur. He will remember you as when he first met you, because the memory will still be sharp. And If you think he is looking at another woman, and you ask "Honey, were you looking at her?", he'll honestly be able to say that he didn't even see her.


Now for the Engineers:

Advantage 1: Secure lifestyle
============================================================
An engineer boyfriend can provide you with a secure lifestyle. At 27 years old, an engineer probably has a respectable, stable job that gives him a stable income to own a car, invest, have a comfortable life, and get married and buy a house too.
Law graduates are still working as a lowly apprentice in law firm.
Most management graduates have just failed on their first business plan.
The arts graduate is still looking for a job.
And the medical school graduate is still living in a hospital.



Advantage 2: Unmatchable industriousness
============================================================
An engineer boyfriend will dedicate an unimaginable amount of his time and effort to understand you. Engineers strain
really really hard to understand their work. You can believe that they will try really really hard to understand women too, just like how they understand their work, once they believe that you are the one. So even if they don't understand you initially, they will keep on trying. Even if they still do not understand, they will figure out the correct method to keep you happy.

For example: buy diamond ring = 1 week's worth of happiness

And once they find out the secret formula, they will just keep on repeating it so that the desired results appear. On the other hand:
The Lawyer will argue with you.
The Management graduate will try to control your spending
The Arts graduate will 'change major'.
The medical school graduate will operate on you.
And you know what, it's really so easy to make engineers believe that You are the 'one'. Say that you like one of their project and they will be hooked to you forever.



Advantage 2: Engineers will never betray your trust
============================================================
The lawyers will lie about everything.
Management graduates will cheat your money.
The arts graduate will flirt,
and you probably just look like another cadaver to the medical school graduate.
Your engineer boyfriend is either too busy to have an affair, and even if he does, he is too dumb to lie to you about that.


Advantage 4: An REAL engineer boyfriend can fix anything
============================================================

Leaking pipes? He 'll fix it.
Faulty light bulb? He 'll fix it.
Computer virus? He won't even let that happen.

With an engineering boyfriend/husband around, no faulty appliances will go unnoticed and he'll will get all maintenance work covered so that they run at optimum efficiency thus saving money on electricity bills. And by fixing things themselves, you save time and money paying other people to fix them.

Hence, an engineer is the most secure boyfriend that you will ever find - rich enough, will keep on trying to understand and please you, has no time for affairs, and too dumb to lie to you. plus they are cooler than the others.

So girls, why procrastinate? Get an engineer for your boyfriend.
