Dissapointed Engineering Student

This is pathetic as engineers' personality...guys, nerds do not run the world. Bill Gates was a lucky man...right time, right place. Evidently, engineering is not the right career from what I can see in you guys comments. I guess the two things I got are to get out engineering ASAP and to get into my own business.
Thanks old engineers.

Engineering is a man's world?

Margaret of Pa writes that engineering is a man's world. It's only a man's world because women like Margaret want to leave for 8 years to be with their children. I'm not saying that was a bad decision, just that you can't expect the entire industry to bow to your personal decisions. Projects don't run on a part-time basis or "mommy's hours". Companies don't want to train you for 5 years only to have you leave to have children.
