Agree. 
Btw, at my company, we love math or engineering majors with decent grades. They are smart, know how to think, are trainable, and learn new topics quickly.  They can learn finance, accounting, business concepts, etc way faster and more thoroughly than any liberal arts, business or Econ major.  I have seen this across many companies and hiring opportunities. Sadly, other countries are teaching and learning math-and high level maths- much more effectively than the U.S.[/quote]

I agree with you.  I teach a social science at the college level and my best students are nearly always engineering majors.  they are usually intelligent, have a good work ethic, are disciplined about working throughout the semester (instead of cramming at the end), actually do the reading, and most imp., they are willing to actually think about what they are learning and ready to apply their knowledge to real world problems.
