[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The big question is if your kid really is interested in engineering or simply picked it because it seems to lead to good jobs.[/b]

If your kid really isn't interested in the material, it will probably end badly (and hopefully quickly and then can find a major that works better).  This is the case for even kids with high stats and rigor.

My CS kid is at a Top 10 school and there are plenty of kids scoring between 1-5 points (out of 100) on tests where the Mean score is a 68.  They aren't stupid...but they picked CS because of external influences, don't like it and aren't any good at it.[/quote]

You need to pick a major in college that translates into a good paying job.  Most engineering majors lead to good paying jobs.

I studied CS at VTech and hated it but I am working in Cyber Security for Freddie Mac and get paid a lot of money for it.  I don't like what I am doing but it is certainly better than being broke.[/quote]

Oh I never realized that doing something you hate is the only way to not be broke. Learn something new on DCUM every day![/quote]

Such a suburban wine-mom response.  SAHM’s never understand men got it out in jobs they hate to provide for their family.  [/quote]
