<p>Got into a huge argument with my brother-in-law. He has a small 40 people M/E/P engineering company in Houston. He said he had never heard of HMC ,didn’t know what to make of a general engineering degree and that low GPA’s would be an issue for him. He gets engineers from those engineering factories UT, TAMU mostly, with 3.8-4.0 GPA’s. He
starts them out at about 90K with benefits. Now I know Caltech, MIT, HMC students would not want to work at a place like this, but what gives? Is this just last century engineering with all the cool stuff being done at these premier schools? He said if you want to work in Texas and thats a Big if, then the UT brand for his type of engineering means more. My kid doesn’t want to work in that field. This whole thing is making me crazy</p>
