^^ No one is saying engineers that don’t go to MIT can’t be successful. Heck my research engineer step dad went to San Jose State University (because of low cost), got a coveted job at the Stanford Research Institute and then worked a 30+ year career at Hewlett Packard. He ended up fine but who knows the possibilities he may have had if he graduated from MIT, Stanford, UCB, or other top engineering colleges? We will never know…
