The topic of my reply was with respect to school preparation. The fact is that both Medical School and Law School require a significantly high caliber student. The education system in America is obviously capable of producing students for Medical and Law school. So why is it some how or other not able to produce engineers? Why is it that the same school system that is OK for one profession is somehow completely inadequate for another profession? Please don't tell me Medical school is all about how to be nice to your patients.
