1000+, stay away from CS, engineering & business majors[/quote]

Really hate this kind of bad advice.  Essentially asking kids to lie about their passion.  What happens to integrity.

These brilliant kids, if not in at ivies, still end up in very top school like Georgia tech, Harvey Mudd, CMU.[/quote]

You know darn well that for 75% of these kids business, CS, & engineering aren’t their passion but just a gateway into what they think will make them 6 figures. That’s what all this hullabaloo is about. Getting into a top school with the right major for the best ROI, good connections and networking, and opportunities so that your DC has a 6 figure job waiting for them at graduation. Please don’t start with this passion stuff. We all know why there’s an influx of these majors. [/quote]

Wrong.

Engineering is a very hard major.

For my kids it was easy they are very lucky to have brains that are wired that way. They are also fabulous test takers.

No engineer works in the field long if they hate it. That is incredibly rare. [/quote]
