We know a kid who got a degree in aeronautical engineering & wanted to be a pilot but then the airline he hoped to be hired in (where his dad worked) went bankrupt. He went back & got another bachelor’s in EE & now has a job with Boeing in LA, where he just bought a house with his folks’ help.

Our S got a degree in EE & has not been able to practice it so far yet. His salary isn’t fantastic but has scheduled promotions & raises until he reaches the target level. He’s getting experience as a project manager & I’m guessing he’s doing pretty well at it. He still wants to do some engineering, so we shall see.
