[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with previous poster. An engineer (particularly in structural or civil) doesn’t need a grad degree to make bank. But your daughter should go to the best undergrad she can.[/quote] This advice is highly questionable, and here's why: Most engineering students go to work after getting out of college; Engineering is a quasi-professional occupation, where what you can do is the important thing, not your pedigree. Engineers will demonstrate ability (or lack thereof) in their first jobs; and after one's first job -- whatever one's field -- the name on your diploma is never really considered particularly relevant, or relevant at all. So, I would agree with a PP who said paying the extra money for an engineering degree at JHU, as opposed to a less expensive state school, is NOT worth it -- and this is particularly true if you need to borrow money to attend JHU.[/quote]
