In todays world, an engineering degree automatically qualifies you as an expert at any given field, a leader of men, and a shrewd judge of character.

In the REAL world, an engineering degree should carry no more weight than any other piece of paper, UNTILL the holder of that diploma "earns his stripes"

I graduated with a degree in Ag economics from Purdue University. Does that qualify me as an Agricultural Economist? Not in my eyes, it doesn't. It means I had the TOOLS with which to work my way into that title.

My college years were spent partying and studying just enough to keep my GPA high enough that mom and dad wouldn't have a fit. Same applies to a great deal of college students.

Then, one day after graduation, they get a lap-top and a title, and start telling experienced, qualified "hands on" employees how to do their jobs....

This "promote by the numbers" system is leading us further into the mass exodus of good jobs from the U.S. An equally qualified workforce is just as easy to find in other parts of the world, even though we have a more "educated" pool of candidates to draw from.

End of rant.....for now! John
