[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Engineers are hot out of the gate. There’s a natural ceiling though unless they move into management
It would interesting to see a comparison of 35 year old individual contributor engineers vs Director level folks with those dreaded Liberal Arts or Marketing degrees :)[/quote]

Chance of a person with an engineering degree moving into management vs a person with liberal arts/marketing.

Where do you want to bet your money?

We are talking statistics, not some random anecdotes.

Plenty of engineers move into management at technical companies.  Some choose not to and prefer to remain "mostly technical" positions.  But the notion that engineers are not capable of moving into management is a bad stereotype.   Firstly, you don't get to manage a bunch of engineers without being highly capable of actually doing their jobs---your Art History major is not doing a ChemEngs job in a pharmaceutical company---sure you might be selling the drug, but you are never going to be involved with development of the drug. That is not something you "learn on the job" like you can with Pharmaceutical sales[/quote]
