<p>Well, like I’ve said before, Engineering is the only field I have ever heard so much negative feed-back about. I never even hear about philosophy or history majors regretting so bitterly their decision. All I hear is “don’t major in engineering, if I could go back I would do something else”. Why is this? </p>
<p>Another thing I’ve noticed. If someone comes on a board like this and wants to get into IB or consulting without knowing exactly what it is, they are slagged to hell. “You’re only in it for the money, you fool!” Yet someone who wants to be an “engineer” and hardly knows the difference between electrical and mechanical engineering deserves a noble prize.</p>
