I am currently studying for a degree offered by the psychology department at my uni. The name of the degree involves 'psychoanalytical engineering'.
i have a friend that is a civil engineering major who keeps telling me that it isn't a real engineering degree.
it seems sort of stupid that he can say that, considering that psychology majors have to take a test to be registered and civil engineers don't have to.
it makes sense that you are engineering someone's thoughts, their emotions. when you build a bridge you are simply building. the engineering means that you have to design something that is just custom tailored to the paritcular person not just putting another bridge down on a river. every persons psyche is original and it's more of a challenge to have to deal with something as complicated as the human mind than build a bridge or building which is something theyve been doing since the time of jesus/evolution without any single problem.
how many buildings/roads do you see, and then how many messed up people do you see who have their minds fixed?
i think emotional/psychological engineering is far more complex than telling some dumb constructiong worker to pour concrete. the mysteries of the human mind are far more complex and mysterious.
does anyone know what i can tell my friend
