[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Case and it's a very STEM (specifically engineering) heavy school.

Private high schools don't send many kids to study engineering (at any college) because of the salaries. My kids attend a well-regarded private and the wealthy by-in-large have kids who go into finance or law. Engineering is viewed as a stable but middle to upper middle class career. Sure, some engineers combine their scientific knowledge with business (or law) and make a ton of money but most do not.

It's been interesting to observe all of this as someone who did not grow up with any sort of money. [/quote]

This. Engineering is seen as a very middle class profession. Doctors and lawyers don’t want their kids to be engineers. I am a lawyer and no one I know has a kid in this track. [/quote]

lol I'm a lawyer as well and my DS is going to Georgia Tech to study Biomedical Engineering at the #2 ranked school in the country.  I'm quite sure he will do alright for himself.  [/quote]
