Yup. 5 years down the road, when he's struggling to get to $6k (if your cousin is lucky and very good) its jarring to see his less impressive peers (who maybe went to business admin cos they couldn't handle the rigour of engineering in university) hit $10k in banking ...

That's when it all hits home... believe me - every top scholar who chose engineer has a sob story like that...
