Is it wrong to pursue engineering because of prestige and social status?

Wait until you in your 50s and looking for a job. Out of curiosity, do you happen to work in defense or defense related companies, I can only think of Qualcomm for San Diego that needs hardware.</p>

<p>@cosmicfish, thanks for the link, it still puzzles me why Computer Engineering does better than CS, I think it depends on which school? I remember last year, some kid posted on CC and asking why UCB CS makes more than EECS.</p>
