[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the average kid, engineering is a great major because it is a high level vocational education choice, just like pharmacy or nursing. Most engineers are just smart mechanics. They build machines/processes and tinker and learn how to do it in a disciplined way. You need lots of engineers in a modern world, so most work on pretty routine stuff that doesn't require huge brainpower. That's why engineers from third rate colleges can still get jobs. On the other hand, you need a first rate mind to be a good philosopher or historian or anthropologist. That's why it is generally a much better idea to study one of those fields at a top tier highly selective school, rather than a 2nd tier program. The sociology major from Southwest Arkansas State may well be pulling espresso for a living, but the Yale lit major won't. [/quote] I am sorry you flunked out of first engineering. [/quote]
