Oh I know. I have a lot of respect for engineers. I'd take a 2.0 barely graduated engineer over a fluffed up resume liberal arts major any day, notwithstanding other issues of course.

My only concerns with college WRT what its become lately are keeping up the supply pressure on that side, while hopefuly beginning a trend to ween ourselves collectively off the cost side for our kids. Not being able to even theoretically walk away is a major blow to your negotiating leverage. As long as everyone has 3.5 kids sucking up 6 figures each of their income for worthless zero ROI degrees (most, not all) we are collectively weakened and predisposed to vote yes for almost anything to keep the income flowing.
