>> I say partial to engineering because I think with an engineering degree you can do just
about anything that doesn't require a license, like a law or a doctor, that kind of thing.
It really does give you the analytical skill set to tackle a lot of different types of jobs
in addition to an engineering job.
So I think that is important.
Having more options is really what any student should be thinking
about when they're about to come into college.
The university has so many options, you know?
There are different clubs and student organizations and different things like that
where you can have fun while you're practicing these things or trying to better yourself.
So that's definitely a first option.
People are looking at your grades and what you've done.
Perhaps if you have more than one degree, it may, again, make you have some kind
of unique skill set that may be value in one place or another at a company;
but ultimately people are looking at, you know, do you need to be told what to do
or are you going to do it yourself?
Are you going to be seeking, you know, your own answers or is someone always got
to be answering these things for you?
That kind of thing really stand out to me when I'm looking at a new hire.
