[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of the kids at my child's high school and those from closeby schools are deciding to major in engineering. I'm curious as to why its become so popular, as it wasn't as common when I went to college in the 90's.

Do parents guide their kids towards engineering now because they think it will be AI-proof? [/quote]

You just didn't hang out with the right kids in the 90s. [/quote]

Yeah, I guess not! Most of my friends and acquaintances went into law or medicine. There were very few engineers.[/quote]

For the 90s child:
Did you play risk?
Did you play dungeons and dragons?
Did you watch Star Trek or read x men comics?
Did you own a graphing calculator?
Did you know what an electronic bulletin board was?
If so, you probably knew some engineers!  I knew lots and I can only answer yes to two of those things!  [/quote]

Yes it was required for HS math

My family is all engineers. It's a very difficult major and they don't make a lot of money. Finacne is the way to go.
