College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I'm interested in knowing your personal reasons for choosing to go into engineering (any type). A lot of you are also probably curious as to what others like you have to say.</p>

2

<p>Primary reasons are interest in technical subjects like science and math as well as just being a really geeky kid that studied superconductors while others were studying womens anatomy and fermented grain products. </p>

<p>Secondary reasons were solid job prospects and good salary. Job propects and salary lead me away from physics/chemistry and into engineering.</p>

3

<p>I was good at my AP physics class and I read online that engineering had physics in it. Then I got a scholarship so I had a financial incentive not to switch back to physics.</p>

4

<p>Because of the hawt babes.</p>

<p>No, I mean the one dating me. No body wants to date business majors, they are boring and have a thousand others just like them.</p>

<p>business majors tend to kind of be the alpha males in my college. def not engineers. </p>

<p>it’s not a function of personality type as much as people make it out to be…we don’t have time/care enough to delegate time to social activities (drinking) when if we study hard we know we’re going to be rewarded. </p>

<p>Though if I were a business major, I too would delegate all my time in college to social activities sense the material is a combination of stupid + really stupid, I can’t take any of it seriously but I can take hittin the bars and sarging plenty of seriously ; )</p>
