<p>I read somewhere a few years ago that many, if not most of the top executives at the famous companies and firms nationwide actually have engineering degrees. Now I don’t know if they did management or whatnot, but I know that many people choose that path. I mean look at Larry Page and his partner (sorry, don’t know his name off the top of my head). They both did comp sci but are heads of Google. It’s just from engineering, your salary is determined by what path you choose. I know one of my friend’s sisters is going for this, they’re doing engineering but to rise in the ranks and eventually make big money. Or yeah, you could make a start-up and if you’re lucky enough or skilled enough, you just might become the next Apple or Google and become a bajillionaire. Btw, this is assuming that we graduate from MIT, right?</p>
