I understand - it’s STEM - wide ranging - but the fact remains that most end up outside of the field they major and OP is planning to do the same.

My son had his second internship at the same company as the first - which was on a manufacturing floor. The second was outside, process oriented, and said was not engineering at all.

I asked why did they want an engineer then?

He said - they like how they think.

The point being - OP noted they want the degree but not the career - and I was simply noting they will not be alone - i.e. it’s not unusual.
