<p>bearcats,
would you sending me that list of classes?</p>
<p>No you could not take 30 credits at Michigan, even in LSA it would be overwhelming and even if you could handle 30 credits relatively easily (conceptually of course), socially you would start to hate yourself because it still takes a certain amount of time to complete the time and reading for 30 credits.</p>
<p>nobody’s dogging lsa in general. just that almost everyone has to work their butt off for a B in COE and i think engineers are a little bitter when clueless lsa psych majors claim that their major is just as hard, lol. almost every engineer has at some point feared that he/she may be failing an engineering class even when they have worked hard, how many psych majors have experienced this feeling?</p>
<p>For me personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if I had an easier time in Engineering classes because I enjoy math much more than history and english type subjects. Anyways, it probably makes sense that the CoE is harder than LSA because Engineering jobs right out of college earn the most money out of any job. Out of the top 15, engineering is 12 of these, and the other 3 are also math related. If you stick to it, you’ll be rewarded.</p>
<p>Aren’t most people in Engineering there not because they are interested in the subject but in the better financial prospect?</p>
<p>if you want money you wouldnt be in engineering…unless you are a dumb person like me…who made the wrong choice</p>
<p>I’m only in engineering because I couldn’t hack it in Asian studies. :(</p>
<p>I’m going into Engineering because I’m really interested in my major. The good pay is an added bonus.</p>
<p>But Bearcats, why not? What should you major in if you want money?</p>
<p>of course you can’t hack it…you dont even have facebook</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I want money, and I am in engineering. I’m pretty happy with the offer I’m taking for next year, which stacks up quite well even against the prestigious financial possibilities in NYC.</p>

<p>sure but plateaus a lot earlier</p>
<p>^Is that really because it’s an engineering degree though? It’s not as if 15 years down the line anyone will give a damn if you were a Philosophy major, so does it really matter?</p>
<p>After you get lots of work experience, people won’t really care about your major-- but before you have work experience, they will care about your major, skills, and gpa.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agree. But that’s what MBAs and management positions are for.</p>
<p>but i think the problem that a lot of engineers face is that, unless you want to stay in the engineering/manufacturing/defense industry, the mba is essentially used for a career change (most engineers i think are doing MBAs for career change reasons), so what happens is your pre-mba work experience might be considered “useless” and it’ll be hard to make the switch unless you get into a top 20 school.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>May I ask how much you are going to be making?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>what does this mean?</p>
<p>^An engineer who’s been in the workforce for 20 years is likely to only make about 70% more (depending on exactly what type of engineering) than their starting salary out of college. Business degrees will have a larger percentage of increase. </p>
<p>Starting salaries for those graduating in 2008 was about 61K (again, depending on what kind)…</p>
