Have I over-idealized Engineering?

According to your Location, you go to Penn, and there is no “State” after it, so I am assuming you are at UPenn. UPenn has one of, if not the, best business schools in the country, and Wall Street banks and other financial companies recruit heavily at Ivys like UPenn, Harvard, Princeton, etc. If what you are “hearing” about engineers going into business is from people at your school, this makes sense. They need smart engineers with a good work ethic for their company. For you though, focus more toward biotech or whatever field you like, and aim towards internships that way. But note that the reason so many kids seem like they go into business is because you are at UPenn.
