Do you think *anyone* can be an engineer?

Are we trying to define the skill set of someone who can just make it through engineering with a 2.0 (and in how many years and with how many pre-calculus classes, 12 credit semesters, etc) and then hunts for a job with the minimum technical requirements so they can make the minimum engineering salary … I guess you could go from that to maybe technical management or coding or project management, but there are other degrees that could take you there too, management, math, comp sci, etc.

There are easier ways to make money and certainly easier ways to get a 4 year degree …

There are related fields where you can get a BA and minor in business … or more coding related jobs …

and trust me, companies know their underachievers and you could easily be unemployable as a senior engineer with minimal talent and skills … your job may just go to someone with more potential … or a new cheap junior engineer …

… and an ABET accredited engineering program is no place for some one with no math or science aptitude. You could go from a high school with minimal math and science offerings to engineering, but it may take extra years and you need to have the interest in those math and science classes (which can take up to 2 years of study) …

I am guessing that if you are at Stanford or working on a project with a team average IQ of 150 (it can happen) you could underrate your abilities because you are just in the pack … but on a national level you are still way above average

or in a pack of mediocrity, you could be a star …
