I call it the Glamour Trap. People fall in love with the glamorous, cool aspect but don't acknowledge or aren't aware of all the brutally hard work it takes. "Cool, let's open a restaurant": They think it will be cool to tell their friends they own their restaurant and they think of celebrities that may drop by and sign pictures of themselves. All while ignoring the less glamorous aspects: Working 60+ -Hr weeks, dealing with employee theft, city regulations, hiring personnel that may end up stealing food, silverware from you, the brutal competition, bad reviews, etc. 10 hours of difficulties for every 5 minutes of glamour. Edit: Like some women wanting to have children because "They're so cute", etc.sbrothy said:There’s some saying about expectation isn’t there?

I put that in there because nowaday young ladies are more pragmatic - looking for "over 6 foot, and making 6 figures in his 30's"
But we can still stereotype engineers, right?!?!berkeman said:Just a friendly reminder not to veer into stereotyping certain segments of society in attempts to be humorous. Thanks.
And we have an entire thread mocking mathematicians!Ivan Seeking said:Even for engineers?!?!
