[quote=Anonymous]This is typical at many liberal arts institutions like Brown, Yale, Princeton, NESCAC schools, etc. For every 1 student who actually pursues a career in engineering, there will be 3-5 who go into banking, consulting, professional school, etc. A student's major at one of these schools often has little to nothing to do with their career aspirations, and that's a feature of a liberal arts education, not a bug. I was a chemistry major at and I'm now in a design management role at a manufacturing company after spending the first decade of my career in very different roles. None of my college friends who majored in engineering are engineers now. All of the professional engineers who I work with went to schools like VT, Texas A&M, MIT, Michigan State, etc. and they have masters', too.[/quote]
