Is Engineering Real Education or Just Plain Job Training?

<p>

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

<p>Strongly disagree. My passion is for spaceflight. I want to work in the spaceflight industry. Honestly, I don’t care about the money. Majoring in pure theory won’t give me the kind of job that allows me to work in the field that I want though.</p>
