^ I agree

I am OK with the whole, more school if you want it scenario that we have now, and All jobs have a learning curve that takes a while to get into. Since engineering is a technical job, the curve is just much steeper. Even if every engineer had a PhD, there would still be at least a 1 year break in period wherever you get a job. Heck, right now, Im a HS student busing tables at a restaurant, and it took me about 8 months to get the job down well.

What I am opposed to though is changing the process of getting an engineering degree by requiring some stupid Liberal arts and crafts degree before you can go to “engineering school” and the meat and potatoes of crunching numbers.
