Since all we do is just talk past each other, I will lay out all our points of contention right here. Don’t answer any other questions besides these.

1) If people going to Michigan grad eng truly feel that they are better off than people going to Harvard grad eng, then why does anybody feel the need to laugh? That is, unless they are just jerks?

2) Why are so many top engineers attracted to banking and consulting jobs rather than engineering jobs?

3) Should engineering companies try to make engineering a better career path to compete against banking and consulting and other alternative paths? If they should, then why don’t they? If not, why not?

4) Don’t you find it positively daft on the part of engineering companies like Intel to complain that the US doesn’t produce enough engineers, yet not do their part to try to improve the attractiveness of an engineering career?
