Engineering is essential to creating a technological advanced world


But schools that have non-engineering majors that are useless could charge as much as they want to.

What do you think?

Confirmation bias?

I think I can’t think of a better example of what they say about engineers than the thinking exemplified in your post. You know what they say about engineers, right?

Jeez, can we at least include some sciences like chemistry and biology?

So the op does survive without listening to music, watching a film or any other entertainment at all. Good for you.

I think you should take Econ 101.

Nothing is free.

Science? SCIENCE!? WTF is wrong with you?!

There is no place for evidenced based thinking in our theocracy!!:

A prior version of myself would have agreed with this.
But it seems to me it is of greater importance that we somehow not forget lessons of yesterday, or we be bound to repeat them until of engineering skills have actually managed to produce a real planet killer.

Hell no. In fact, you should probably apologize for even suggesting it.

On top of the need for more technical and scientific pursuits, arts courses remind you that there's more to life than cold, hard numbers — morality, love, philosophical pursuits. Dead Poets Society's line about what we stay alive for (the arts) is a bit cliché by this point, but it's true.

One of the constant problems in politics is the tendency of some conservatives to treat education as nothing more than training. They want a legion of worker bees who are very skilled, but never think for themselves or challenge the status quo. That's not how society moves forward, and we need the arts in part to counter that training-only impulse.

I think you are damaged. See you in the next dumb thread you start, I guess.

Is it possible to censure OT forum posters? First candidate: @Gizmo j

I bet the next time you get sick, you would have wished to add doctors to your list.
