Majoring in Engineering and Business?

<p>Elaborate:</p>

<p>Sure. The dual majors always thought they should be on the fast track to management because they had the business backgrounds. Our company did cutting edge aerospace work and so they were really behind the curve because they didn’t have as many engineering classes as they were splitting time with the two majors. Even those with engineering only degrees had a lot of on-the-job learning to do before they were useful engineers (we used to talk about needing 3 to 5 years on the job before we would let them work without close supervision on all but the simplest jobs). If the dual majors had spent as much time learning engineering as they did whining, they’d have been better off.</p>

<p>I got frustrated putting up with all their complaining why they weren’t given “management” type assignments when that is not what they were hired for. They finally quit out of their frustration. I was glad to see them go but mad about all the time we wasted trying to educate them in engineering.</p>

<p>Never again. (moot point as I am now retired)</p>
