Theory

Alright. Lets relate something back to school here. In Engineering, the way I see it, they feed us about 2.5 years of theory, with sparse amounts of application stuff to keep us interested. I often end up reading about alot of things that we're suppose to do...it's like watching NHL. They make it look so easy. When you get onto the ice itself, that's where you get owned.

How does one know that he is right? How does he know he's applying the right theories to the right application? Really. It must be difficult to be a real Engineer. Or a Teacher. Or a Pastor. Or a Doctor. What a Researcher's findings are wrong? And the Engineer took this and applied it? I wonder how much Engineers take their Iron Ring seriously...

All it takes is one question on an assignment to tell you how much you truly don't know. Theory can only take you so far. Why does it feel like I've failed that one already...
