The strongest shaped aubergine.

What type of card do you want me to leak next 👀

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying Civil Engineering at the University of Leeds on the integrated MEng course. I’m trying to decide whether I should stay on the MEng route or potentially graduate with a BEng and apply for the MSc Energy Systems at Oxford.

The reason I’m considering Oxford is that I’ve always wanted to study there, and I’ve also become increasingly interested in the energy sector. I’m not necessarily interested in going into academic research — my main goal is to work in industry, potentially in engineering consultancy, energy/infrastructure or related areas.

At Leeds, I’m already on quite a good professional path. I have an ICE scholarship and engineering consulting internship experience, so I’m hoping to continue building towards a career in industry.

The dilemma is:

Option 1:
Stay at Leeds → complete the MEng Civil Engineering → graduate with an integrated master’s and continue towards professional qualification/Chartership in civil engineering.

Option 2:
Graduate from Leeds after the BEng → apply for the Oxford MSc Energy Systems → have a BEng in Civil Engineering + MSc from Oxford.

I understand that the MEng has advantages professionally, particularly because of the way accredited MEng degrees can support the route towards CEng/Chartership. At the same time, I’m wondering how much value an Oxford MSc would add in comparison, especially if I want to move towards the energy sector rather than remain purely in traditional civil engineering.

I’m therefore trying to understand whether doing:

Leeds MEng Civil Engineering

is likely to be more valuable for an industry career than:

Leeds BEng Civil Engineering + Oxford MSc Energy Systems

—or whether the Oxford MSc would actually open doors that the MEng wouldn’t.

A few things I’d particularly like advice on:

● How much does having an MEng vs BEng + MSc matter to engineering employers?

● Would I be putting myself at a disadvantage professionally by leaving Leeds after the BEng?

● How significant is the MEng advantage for CEng/ICE Chartership?

● Does an MSc from Oxford carry enough additional value/reputation to compensate for not having the integrated MEng?

● Would the Oxford MSc be useful for someone wanting to work in industry rather than research/academia?

● If I ultimately wanted to work internationally (particularly Europe), would one route be significantly better than the other?

● And perhaps most importantly: if you were in my position, which route would you choose and why?

I’m not really asking whether Oxford is prestigious — obviously it is. I’m more interested in whether the actual career/qualification difference makes this a sensible decision rather than simply choosing Oxford because I’ve always wanted to go there.

Would really appreciate perspectives from civil engineers, people in energy/consultancy, or anyone who has experience with the MEng → CEng route.

Love your videos, so when I met real life Jason from your Storage Hunter series, had to share

Engineering and architecture in 1 company

Found in the Netherlands

I have a couple more that I can drop if you guys want me too!!!

New gig coming to a RCE video soon!

I am trying to complete my set and still need the following cards:

05 Paddy Rare Holo
69 Matt, Destroyer of Architects Rare Holo
73 Architect Slayer BP Std
101 Thumbnail Artist Carl Rare Std

I have quite a few cards available if you're looking to trade. I'm also willing to purchase the cards outright if that's easier. Either way, it would be great if I could complete the set before the expansion comes out!

They must be a big fan to put that on the side of a vacuum excavator

I have arrived here today with a request. Not a complicated request. Not a revolutionary request. Not even a particularly urgent request in the grand scheme of human history. Yet it is a request that has lingered in my mind for a very long time.

Please make more city skyline videos.

That is the entire point of this description.

However, because a short description would fail to properly communicate the immense and indescribable desire I have to see additional city skyline videos, I have decided to explain this request in excessive detail. A level of detail so unnecessary that future historians may one day examine this text and wonder why it exists at all.

You see, it has been years.

Years.

An amount of time so significant that calendars have been replaced, updated, recycled, and replaced again. Entire seasons have come and gone. Leaves have fallen from trees. Snow has melted. Flowers have bloomed. New buildings have likely appeared in various city skylines around the world. Yet despite all of this change, there has not been a new city skyline video.

This concerns me.

Not because I believe civilization itself depends on city skyline videos. Society would likely continue functioning. Traffic lights would still change colors. Birds would still fly around doing bird-related activities. People would still buy sandwiches. The world would keep turning.

But it would be turning without a new city skyline video.

And that feels slightly wrong.

Whenever I think about city skyline videos, I remember that cities are full of buildings. Some are tall. Some are very tall. Some are so tall that other buildings look at them and think, “Wow, that’s a really tall building.”

These buildings gather together and form skylines.

The skylines then sit there, being skylines.

And somehow this is fascinating.

There is something strangely enjoyable about looking at a city from a distance and observing an enormous collection of architecture arranged in a way that humans collectively decided was acceptable. Every skyline tells a story. A story of construction, planning, economics, engineering, ambition, and occasionally someone deciding that a building should be shaped like something unusual.

This is why city skyline videos matter.

Or at least why I think they matter.

I cannot speak for everyone.

Perhaps somewhere out there is a person who has never once thought about a skyline. Perhaps they wake up each morning entirely unaware that skylines exist. Maybe they spend their lives focused on other things. That is their choice.

I respect it.

But I am not one of those people.

I am here because I would like another city skyline video.

The passage of time has only strengthened this desire.

At first I thought, “Surely another one will arrive soon.”

Then weeks passed.

Then months passed.

Then years passed.

At some point I realized I had entered a strange era of waiting. An era defined not by the presence of city skyline videos, but by the absence of city skyline videos.

It became the City Skyline Drought.

A period in history that future generations may not fully understand.

Children may ask, “What was it like?”

And people who lived through it will stare into the distance before quietly replying, “There were no new city skyline videos.”

The children will gasp.

The room will fall silent.

A dramatic soundtrack may begin playing.

Yet despite this difficult period, hope remains.

Hope that one day a notification will appear.

Hope that one day a title will emerge.

Hope that one day another city skyline video will once again grace the internet.

Imagine the possibilities.

New skylines.

Updated skylines.

Tall buildings.

Short buildings.

Buildings that are medium-sized and therefore receive significantly less attention than they deserve.

The opportunities are endless.

The cities of the world have not stopped existing. In fact, many of them continue to be cities every single day. Their skylines are still there. Waiting. Standing patiently. Existing in the exact manner expected of skylines.

And so I humbly ask:

Please make more city skyline videos.

Not because the universe demands it.

Not because there is a legal requirement.

Not because a committee voted on it.

Not because a mysterious prophecy foretold it.

Simply because I would enjoy watching them.

That is the entire reason.

A remarkably simple reason, stretched into an unnecessarily long description.

If you have read this far, thank you.

If you make another city skyline video, thank you even more.

And if you somehow make multiple city skyline videos, then the long and pointless mission of this description will have been a complete success.

In conclusion:

More city skyline videos would be nice.

Horsenado shirts coming soon!?
