Is Engineering Real Education or Just Plain Job Training?

I’d say that most engineering majors are engineering majors because they want a solid skill that will earn them money.

I’m going to have to disagree with you here. First off a lot of engineering majors don’t go into engineering. Second of all even if they do go into engineering I was never under the impression that the money is that great. </p>

If one is truly passionate about a certain area, then one would probably major in pure math, pure physics, or pure chemistry rather than major in an engineering field.
