Also as if engineering can't lead to lots of money.
As mentioned, engineering students are taught to question and think analytically. It's why graduate programs at banks look for engineers.
Lot of ceo's, directors and managers are engineers for the reasons above.
The secret to this is that you are a business person first, engineer second. That is how you move up the ladder and not be held as a specialist in your technical field.
However, nothing wrong being a specialist either, as there is also large amounts of money to be had there too. (but you will always think in the back of your mind, ''if I was running this shit it would be less of a headache'')
