well let me rephrase. I don't HATE engineering. I'm a huge math/science geek, and love astrophysics, organic chem, calculus and stuff like that. I would love to be an engineer, but unfortunately, my first love is money. Whether or not you and Wega believe me, I'm really not AS bad as other people who like money. All I'd like is to be able to afford a couple of 30, maybe 40k cars and not worry about living paycheck to paycheck. I want to be able to afford a 2 story house with a basement, and be able to afford some new ammenities. I'm not looking for top of the line Plasma TVs or something, but something that is above average that won't break down. I want to be able to wear brand name stuff, but not to the point where I'm spending $50 on jeans, but just enough so that I can wear those same labels, but being able to at least spend $25 on articles of clothing I like, and not worry about having to make sacrifices.

So far, although I might be wrong, an engineer is unable to do that, which has turned me off from working as one, but again, I don't hate engineering. I would just like to be able to live a life like I described above. And this is why I was thinking about engineering management.
