"Anybody majoring in Engineering at this time is in for a rude shock upon graduation. I wouldn't recommend it."
Ok, what should they major in? Shouldn't a college education include a challenging course of study?
You mistake a college education for trade school - lots of people do.
Prospective students: Study engineering and other technical disciplines. work hard. Be rewarded far above your peers who decided to simply "have a good time" in college while taking the easy route.
We should get rid of a lot of crap in college i.e. Lesbo Studies, I hate America Studies, and fluff fluff courses.
My 8th grade science teacher told me the same, am now an engg grad student.. I still worship him for his encouragement !
