Goldman Sachs buys fifth of DONG

Presumably it depends on the field of engineering. Stuff like hydrological or structural engineering you need to have a certain amount of brains for just to keep up on the arithmetic.

A lot of engineering work requires spending considerable time on building sites, in factories, and the like, and that begins at an undergrad level. It's the blue collar job of white collar jobs.

Sure sure, but talk to anyone in tool and die about how hard engineers usually work. They're that odd layer that's just white collar enough to generally not to know how to do anything with their hands, but not quite so white collar that they don't have to march about and pretend to be a worker until they get annoyed enough with the operators telling them their design has flaws that coffee, doughnuts, facebook, and autocad(not necessarily in that order) are the siren calls for the remainder of the day.

In my experience it's the other way around. No I'm not a business major, and I study network engineering.

Network engineering. That explains a lot.


I've seen business majors who 4 weeks into a Microeconomics subject still don't know what demand is. I'm yet to see an engineer with that level of incompetence.

I still don't get what that has to do with goldman and dong. Does dong represent the success of engineers and Goldman the success of undergrad business degree holders? Because GS only hires undergrad business degree holders from like 5 schools, and probably hires more engineers fresh out of college anyway. But it's GS, they hire art history majors, they dgaf.
