Business majors are freaking stupid!

[Padron1926]

I think you missed his point breh, although he didn't state it that clearly.

He's saying that while engineers are smart people, they often lack the interpersonal skills to communicate and work in certain situations. They often can't communicate the significane of technical jargon to the laymen, sound familiar?

Being an engineer and working for a very large company with a significant engineering force, this is really a myth. Yes some engineers have a hard time communicating but its more of them just thinking on a different level or looking at problems completely different than most people would view them. They are truly special people if you can even get a glimpse into the way they view things. I work with a great number of people that are like this, not only engineers but other disciplines at my company like construction or the management side of things. Engineers do very well at communicating with other people within the company and have to work well within a team structure in order to solve complex problems.

He's also saying that there's a certain entrepreneurial mind set that engineers don't usually have, because theiy're so equation and formulaic minded when it comes to solving problems. Basically, he means thinking outside the box and being creative and making emotional appeals. Often times big decisions are made on things more emotional and "gut feeling" rather than based on equations and mathematical formulas.

Engineers arent " equation and formulaic minded ", I dont even know what the fukk that means Please educated yourself a little further before you spout such nonsense. Engineers think outside the box all the damn time There isnt some fukkin step by step booklet we use to solve problems, each problem is unique and has its own set of circumstances. And big decisions are not made on emotion and gut feeling. That is just You sound like you have absolutely no real world experience

dog these folks really believe the bullshyt they type

whats worse is they have a chance to view what they writing before they hit submit

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

so lets see, youre comparing engineering(a field) to a CEO(a position regardless of field)

so what youre saying is there are no engineers who are CEO's huh

see @BarNone this is why i dont support your college forum

cause 99% of the people im talking to in here are clearly below 19

You won't be designing products as a CEO breh...

I didn't say that at all, look at the McDonald's CEO, he was an electrical engineer. You think he still does the same job with a new title? No.

You clearly have some reading comprehension issues, which is "rich" coming from someone who's so arrogant and pompous sounding.

To the first paragraph, that's interesting.

To the 2nd paragraph, no that's not what I meant.

I clearly meant CEO...I'm in an iPad....relax.

Engineers lost. I studied some pseudo business major and make more money than all of my engineering friends and have a clearer path to clearing 200k in a few years. The only math I took in college was some watered down statistics course.

Engineering is a very middle class degree. Middle America type folks go gaga for engineers and don't respect people who push around money for a living but the people who really control capital are Econ, Business, and Liberal Arts majors with MBAs and JDs who use engineers to produce widgets.

I'm not saying that engineers are prohibited from running businesses, being investment bankers, sitting on F500 boards, or truly having power and influence, but these degrees require too much work for salaries that typically top out at 100k/year.

Exactly. If theyre idiots, yet still eating good (better) and enjoying life then who are you to knock em?

Sure Civil Engineering is one of the lowest paying Engineering fields...ok. But right out of school its still higher than an Accounting or Finance major. Pop is like 62 a years old and is a Senior Project Manager. He has a PhD in Philosophy which also apparently holds some of the smartest people according to the original post yet still is only making like 120K if I were to guess. And thats working like 60,70 hrs a week.

As Managing Director for RBC Capital Markets (biggest I-Bank vs. biggest Construction/Engineering firm in canada) you could probably make double that as a 40 year old or some shyt and use your aptitude to earn money on your own investment portfolios. Not to mention the bonuses. That being said, Engineering is much more secure and easier to break into with a degree.

Including bonuses, it's more like 10x what your pop makes, even in these markets.

Padron is dropping knowledge. I can honestly say Engineers contribute more to society then we do. But who has the potential to eat more is another question.

Oddly enough, I'm sure the Engineers at work designing GM vehicles made less in a year than those who were short selling them GM after the IPO did in a couple months

Also, speaking to the point some of you are making against engineering, that the work involved isnt worth the salary ceiling, i agree upon. I seriously considered chemical engineering, and can probably still attend GA Tach for a Chem E masters but i decided i'd rather go to pharmacy school and make 130,000 or so off the bat. You can get there as an engineer of course, but its much more work involved, and my brain is much better suited to the body and chemical reactions than it is to more math based professions. Chemists do a lot of high level math but it's really more when it comes down to the physics of reactions and such and there are special fields in chemistry for that who collaborate with us. Engineers do get a lot of respect and rightly so.

The reason why Engineering majors don't run shyt is because they aren't shot callers. They aren't strong people at all.

Brains and GPA don't amount to a good leader. I don't think an Engineer could even run a Taco bell. All the employees would probably punk his ass, and not do anything.

Are you out of your mind? Engineers run the 2nd most powerful country in the world.

Thanks for displaying how weak your arguement is by continuing to be petty and focusing in a typo. That's all the validation I need....oh see there it is finally!
