Have I over-idealized Engineering?

You’re in the right major. All because some or even many of the people you talk to or find complaining about their decisions here on CC end up going into another field or into management doesn’t mean you have to. I’ve worked with and know many engineers who make engineering their career, and do very well. My old boss received a neat little plaque for have x number of patents, was paid very well, and is considered a leader in his field.

To think you must do what others do is not good at all, do what you want. Remember, don’t let shooling interfere with your education, and you guide your own career; make sure you do this or you will end up somewhere you don’t want to be.
