Engineering in College

No, it is unheard of. 3 years minimum as an analyst will be required before any type promotion. Hell, even then all you are is an associate, checking the work of analysts to make sure it's correct. You'll probably do that for another 3 or 4 years before you become a VP of any kind. You're not "moving up" in a bank without 6 or 7 years experience minimum.
 
Its pretty hilarious how defensive you are over IQ, and more sad actually. You'd think someone from some as regarded of a school as princeton. Not everyone who is successful is lying to you, but if telling yourself that helps you sleep at night, then all the more power to you. I wanted a better major, a better program, and a funner college experience than my ivys provided and I don't regret my decision at all. And I'm sure you're smart, but you're acting like a dumbass
 
I love how this went from an innocent question about if engineering is a good program to a shitshow of people bragging about their school/their job/their IQ.

No one gives a shit y'all. Least of all for engineering. Some schools have excellent research, which is great in grad school. In Canada anyway, engineering is so standardized that it doesn't matter where you go, and how you perform in a job interview means everything. I know someone with a C average that got hired by Tesla in their second year. Get over yourselves.
 
I also turned down an Ivy (Yale) for every reason you just mentioned, and couldn't be happier I did so. I didn't wanna go into debt, I wanted to have more fun, the program at Utah (where I go) was better than Yales to begin with, I would be able to do research all 4 years of college, and, most of all, when I went to go on my visit it was full of a bunch of absolute DOUCHEBAGS (perfectly exhibited by SPSS) that all they wanted to talk about was "My momey/daddy works on wallstreet", "I have a 140 iq, everyone look at me", "how much do your parents make a year?".

I have also done two internships in the north-east, full of ivy league kids, and besides MIT not a single one of the kids knew how to apply any type of engineering skill. There was a girl from Columbia in my design project that didn't know how to make a basic circuit (literally couldn't apply Ohms law) and didn't understand how a negative feedback loop worked. All of the kids from the Ivy's were just starting to get experience in their junior/senior years as this is generally how the ivy's treat their engineering students. Bottom line, MANY of the state schools have MUCH better engineering programs then the Ivy's. I would WAY rather go to UMich/UWisconsin/UWashington than any of the Ivy's, and generally the industry thinks in much the same way.
 
Andddd that's where you're a dumbass. You just have to convince yourself that you go to the best school for everything don't you?
 
I don't know a ton about engineering majors, but I think with many fields of engineering, you shouldn't expect a huge salary right out of college. More and more, no matter what major you pursue, its more than worth your time to spend 2 more years in college and get a masters. The market is just flooded with college graduates right now, so a MA will set you apart.
 
nobody gives a shit what your IQ is. You come off as a socially awkward pretentious prick. How long until you change your username again to throw off the troll scent????
