Small college on Long Island, Hofstra, was where the one I mention attended [ later he followed it up on weekends while working getting a masters in finance at NYU Sterns]. Just the engineering degree gets you in the door. A useful degree to have.
Always good to get a summer jobs working in one of these companies as well. However, know of an employee who was in the factory part of a telecom equip maker and he was brought into the sales force and became a top producer--had the personality for it and got noticed.
Knowing the game of golf really helps--lot of business done on the golf course; used to be dinners out etc but then golf took the lead-less alcohol.
Thanks for the input.
Yeah, I figure that Engineering, in general, is a good
degree to have.
I majored in Computer Science. I always respected the Physics and Engineering majors most. I survived Cal 1-3.
They do that stuff like it’s arithmetic.
Anyhow, my son is better at Math than I was at his age. So, I have been encouraging him to go that route or to major in Engineering.
I do think that vocational training can often be a better choice than some college programs. In his case, college makes sense because he wants to serve in the military. Starting off with a commission will open many doors for him in the future.
