Let's be real ... Engineers are the worker bees of society
Keep my train running ho

Economics is not part of business schools. They just some econ courses.
It could be worse, they could be film majors
MBA is just a piece of paper in the grand scheme of why Engineers end up in successful managerial or corporate rolesI didnt say that it didnt matter. I probably coulda worded my post better earlier but meh. Calculus is especially important for Finance and Economics (not accounting at all). I have said at least three times that I sincerely wanted to know...and you got all malicious.
Did I diss engineers or math anywhere in this thread?
Alan Mullaly, Tim Cook, Stephen ELop (went to my school) are all engineers with their MBAs and now they are CEOs. 1 of them has turned Ford around during the Automotive Crisis. One of them turned a company into the most valuable corporation ever. And another...well we wont talk about him.
All I was trying to say is that you can be the smartest dude, know more math than anyone...but ultimately you can still end up on the outside looking in (kinda like my dad who wishes he went to Law or Business school). Or end up working for someone who's much less competent than you.
An Engineer with an MBA to me >>>>>>>>>> anyone. And as far as undergrad...an Engineer >>>>>. I wish I was an engineer during my undergrad but in highschool I just wasnt and still aint into science like that (although I was good in physics). As far as the "real" calculus shyt goes, I was learning what Engineers learnt in their first year of school like I said in the earlier post so. All youre doing is spewing out foolishness. I say I see how Partial derivatives, differential equations etc affects me but according to you, I say none of it affects me.
its got little to do with math and everything to do with critical thinking and problem solving. Its easy to regurgitate things your taught but when youre put in a position to solve something that isnt known its a different story
thats why applied mathemeticians on average make equal or more pay than most engineers.
you tried to say calculus wasnt important when you had taken basically "half" calculus
Goldman Sachs IE regularly hires Engineering majors not for their ability to build heat exchangers but for their ability to solve problems other people shy from

The bold shows youre just filtering...arguing for no reason. The whole problem solving/regurgitating thing is exactly what I was trying to say. As for Goldman Sachs, believe me I know.
Seriously just stop.

wordThere are certain skills (especially social) Engineers dont have and certain things they dont know though. We all know school doesnt mean shyt. So what if you can find the double integral of y = arctan2(x) x sin(2x) at the drop of a hat. How is that gonna make money?
thanks :cheff:Engineers are well suited for sales and trading roles because their mathematical competence. Their ability to solve mathematical problems quickly which is key in the markets.
So engineers know and are skilled within every facet of life/commerce? Had no clue.
You win.
one last thing, the math in higher courses isnt really about solving problems(computation)
its about applying(or making up) equations to data, and predicting outcomes accurately
the better you are the more accurate your models, and the more money you make your company/firm

Psychology has to be the wackest class I've ever taken. Fake ass wanna be science. No wonder so many people major in this sh*t.
No disrespect to Neurobiology....
ill tell you the real issue with young folks right now, is its not even a major issue
its the fact that people are in school not because they want to learn, but because its what they are "supposed to do"
so you have so many half ass people going through bogus majors that used to be respectable and its saturated. In fact theres been studies that many majors/classes have lowered their standards in order to keep graduation rates high
its a sham breh

So were all supposed to go into STEM huh
