Who wants to read the biography of an engineer?</p>
<p>Engineering seems like a boring, mechanical, routine job where basically you're a corporation's b.itch and try to maximize efficiency with the blah-de-blah machine in order to make some extra money for the CEO.

<p>Trust me, MOST corporate jobs are boring, mechanical, routine jobs where you're basically a corporations b.itch. At least in engineering, you get paid relatively decently. Plenty of jobs are just as boring and mechanical, and they don't even get paid well. </p>
<p>For example, one guy who majored in physics at Berkeley ended up becoming a house painter (at B&B Painting). One guy who majored in math ended up becoming a bar waiter (at Kells, a local campus bar). Remember, this is not some scrub no-name school here. This is BERKELEY we're talking about. </p>
