About college majors. A lot of people blame students for choosing impractical majors

34. Not necessarily true about sticking with engineering once

you are in the workforce. Some of the best compensated degreed engineers are now working in sales and marketing (not to mention upper levels of management). I even took a turn at sales (it is good experience to understand the customer's needs as an engineer). My daughter is planning on majoring in Electrical Engineering and minoring in Film Studies (possibly a second major depending on how the dollars flow). I told her to expect two years in a cube while you learn your company's products and then into the marketing work force. I can envision her calling on film production companies and assisting them with their technology (such as videoediting software as one example).

If you are able to pull a 3.0 in engineering, then I would recommend it almost over any other major especially if you include non-hard extracurriculars (such as video production in my daughter's case). Engineering is very difficult and unless you are near the top in math in high school, you probably should take a test run at a good junior college in Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics.
