| I would argue that is untrue. I will say that people do in fact do it for hte money. But you say most people who get a B.S. or Ph.D in Engineering do it for the money. I just think this is false. It's too difficult a degree to get through if money is the only motivation, you have to like it.
Also, I don't think there is anything wrong with doing something just because they know they'll get paid well (I'm not talking about being greedy). I mean, I could personally absolutely LOVE egyptology, but never go into it because I want to actually have a job (note: I don't know anything about egyptology). You're making it sound like a crime for people to do something because they can get paid well for it. If there was some job that paid 500,000 a year everywhere that you couold get right out of college with a B.S. I guarantee you an exorbinant amount of people would do it. Just accept the fact that people are going to do things for financial security.
Although I still will not agree that Engineers do things for the money as a whole. That is bogus. |
