[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I majored in engineering and have lots of classmates who majored in "impractical" fields who are doing much much better than I am. In fact, several of the smartest tech grads in our class are close to the bottom of the college grad financial totem pole.[/quote] It’s somewhat inverted. Most people coming into practical majors, esp engineering come from lower middle class families. They don’t have connections nor FOB resources to optimize career strategy. Also many of them like are passionate about science or tech which sometimes makes less optimal career choices. [/quote] So not true!! Plenty of engineering majors come from UMC/wealthy families. they just like STEM and pursue it. Or they are smart enough to know they can always fall back to business later on with an MBA if engineering isnt' their thing. Most that stick with Engineering are really smart and enjoy what they do [/quote]
