Which engineering/science majors are the brightest?

Which engineering/science major would do the best, or have the easiest time in learning, or succeeding in a field not directly related to their majors? So examples would be like business, or maybe even another engineering field or another science/math field. Let’s make this other field at least slightly quantitative or analytical. So nothing like writer or English professor.</p>

<p>So basically what it should come down to is which engineering/science field will give a person the strongest ‘skills’ to succeed in something else. Skills include quantitative skills, analytical skills, creativity, abstract thinking, etc. Anything you can think of. Also notice how its engineering/science, so things like math, physics, biology, computer science also count.

<p>I think it’s pretty obvious to most people here that any quant or analytical field would make one much more prepared to pursue another quant or analytical field. I think that the level of success that person will have in the other quant/analytical field will be base more on the level of that person’s inquisitiveness and openness to the exposure to the other fields and less on their previous degree. For this reason it might be less difficult for a pure math or physics major (quant) to pursue an engineering major (analytical) because they have no, or few, preconceived notions on how it’s suppose to work. Whatever “it” is.</p>

<p>As I see it it’s akin to changing industries, nothing can prepare you for the culture shock.</p>
