You don’t get smarter in college, you just memorize protocol. That’s literally it. I’m in STEM at 4th year and I am yet to be taught anything besides protocol.
But I mean, the protocol is very useful, especially the math, and you will become proficient at what you were taught to do, but I by no means have a more valuable opinion on anything outside of electrical engineering just because I am learning the protocol behind it.
Depends on the type of engineering you want to do. You need way more than basic math to do, for instance, the aerospace type engineering, or electrical engineering.
So what do you do when the computers are down and you have to do calculations manually? That is the stupidity that dumbs us all down.......relying on computers rather than your brain.
as someone with an engineering degree, yes, it is worth getting - IF you want to do engineering and want to live in an area where the kind of engineering you want to do is done.
Otherwise, you gotta be real careful now deciding if college is really worth it especially with so many good opportunities in trades that don't require any college at all.
I was lucky back in 1970 to have the UK government pay my university fees (and I didn't have tp pay them back). My course was Electronic Engineering but they taught me many other subjects including how a car engine works and economics! Now, 52 years later, I'm fucking brilliant - I know absolutely everything - and I'm modest, too! ;)
It is, my 19 year old stepson get's asked all the time if he's going to college or going to go to college and he answers, "no, I'm too smart for college." lol Nobody knows what to say about that 🤣
I have two Masters degrees and now I think college is a fucking scam.

I have heard that engineering degrees are one of the few worth getting.
Excluding Civil Engineering lol

What made you decide to get 2 Masters degrees?
I was earning a Masters in Finance and opted to do a little extra work and pick up an MBA as well.
Practicing lawyer. Can confirm.
