[quote=Anonymous]Interesting for kids who have the interest in and aptitude for engineering. But there are plenty of brilliant kids who don't. I don't know what business your friend has, but seems like you'd get a lot of certain kinds of thinkers with his strategy. Great if you're building or designing, not always so wonderful if you want kids who can sell, communicate and/or write. Picking a major because it's the in thing or a trend, may nab you a first job, but not necessarily a career you love and will thrive in. I say this as a business major and CPA, who was trying to be similarly practical back in the day. Freshman year at a top college, I had five friends start out as engineers, none of them graduated in that major. [/quote]
