Sentence 2:
"I dont see any future in engineering, what are my chances in getting into finance with an engineering degree."
and the classic one "Should I get a CFA or MBA so that I can switch into finance"
I really think its a tragic that the once highly sought after profession in 80s has engaged full speed in reverse gear today. |
From personal experience local uni engineering courses churn out a max of 10% of real engineers. The rest, lacking the passion or the brains will be as above dreaming for their finance/management future and eventually being stuck at the boring, low pay, low job security engineering job for the next 10-15 years before coming undone.
